    The fact that these gurus claim that they “achieved this success all on their own” while employing potentially hundreds of people to do the job for them says A Lot. They don’t see these workers as real people who are putting their time and effort into making these videos for them, they see them as assets to their own success. Not to mention those workers are probably being paid next to nothing.

      While I do think they are praying on people's dreams you just described an employer, most if not all employers will view their business as built by them and most people are getting paid next to nothing. A big thing in business is delegating which is what all businesses do TH-camrs also do it in the form of editors and thumbnail artist or script writers etc. this isn't unique or nothing new it's simply what a business is

    I noticed a lot of these internet gurus with like 2k subscribers usually default to the "guy in the chair" position. "Oh, I don't have a massive platform because I helped these other creators (who I refuse to name) build their brand from the shadows with my marketing genius and now I wanna help you reach that same level of success." It's honestly refreshing seeing this guy be so bold as to claim MULTIPLE million+ sub channels and not name any.

      @Guineapigsreadingbooks ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably at first, but much like MLMs and such, at some point people might get desperate enough to try.
      And the cost might actually help. My uncle runs a nonprofit rehab in Romania (different crowd, but maybe the same principle applies), and he said that he has to charge people (tiny amounts, the costs are covered by the donations etc, and this is waived as soon as there is any reason to) to make them invest themselves into rehab. If it is free, they convince themselves that it is worthless and so they don’t even really try. But if they are paying, it must be worth paying for.
      And in a similar way, a lot of scams advertise themselves as giving you a 90% discount on something that must be helpful and valuable. If it used to be 500€ for a course, then it must be worth at least nearly that. And then, you get it for only 50€! One day only! So if you are looking for something, anything, to get out of crushing medical debt or be able to earn money while disabled, etc. this might sound good. And then, you already pressed buy.

    My proposal for a better thumbnail this time: Put black bars behind the white text of "let me fix" and "only 6k". Makes in better readable. You could also use a mock newspaper background which blends in nicely with the overall Fraud-magazine theme of the picture (which I love btw). + really enjoyed the video. Gurus are a never ending fountain of entertainment. And these guys multiply so fast that it also kinda needs to be taken on aggresively, by now so many people have a family member or a friend that has lost money to Guru-scammers (in whatever topic)

    One thing to look for is the fact that I'm pretty sure a lot of these tweets are sourced from chatGPT or other procedural generators like that. I think these scammers don't even put effort in what to post, they ask chatGPT which generates 10 tweets they could send and then just schedule them. I think that's also why there's so many, because it's just so easy to generate content with the advent of chat GPT that truly anyone can do it, and at unprecedented speeds.

    I'm gay and my favorite was when a creator I watched who inherited a massively successful and popular channel ran a course on how to cultivate an audience.
    Unless the course was just about how to get in good with creators who are thinking about retiring, what would they know? People who found a new platform like Vine and cultivated an audience who also migrated when Vine was no longer an option have no idea how to start a channel from scratch either.
    I feel like some people need their success to not be luck. It wasn't the right place/right time, it wasn't that they were friends of a friend with a connection, it's not that they had wealthier parents and could take the risk to buy equipment and take the time to make videos instead of collage or working. No, it's hard work and meritocracy that got them their success.

    what's especially sad to me is the fact that, honestly if you put everything into perspective, the algorithm's just about making good content. People obsess over their retention rate, or clickthrough rate, or whatever. But that's supposed to be a reflection on the CONTENT, not about what keywords you mash into the description. But they never ever accept that and try to improve their videos, or that it could even be the problem in the first place. And the yt gurus just basically prey on that. All they need to do is go omma island, and there's a treasure chest. But they just don't get it...

I spent a day going through the most popular videos on the most popular channels in my genre to see which side got more views. It was actually a huge diffrence surprisngly and defintely helped once I made the change. Thumbnails can seriously be wild.
