Thank you!!! Yes exactly I’ve heard so much that these guys have ads on my videos so I had to talk about this and expose them!! So glad you appreciate this video 💜💜
Omg before I continue watching the video: He targets people 18 to 24 because before 25 your prefrontal cortex isn't developed. The prefrontal cortex is a key to our choice making and critical thinking. And one more thing: you can change after 25, we're all in constant change! At 30 we're not the same people we were at 25 and going to therapy after that age is still EFFECTIVE! I'm a psychotherapist, I see it all the time! People learn to react differently to stimulus around them, yeah, as you age learning can become harder, but when you're spending your energy on modifying things, when you're motivated to develop new skills, age doesn't matter! God, I'm mad at this guy, and then go an say that "people are in antidepressants because they tried but failed" no, man, people are in antidepressants because their brains are functioning differently! It's organic, and it takes time and effort to change it!
YES!! Thank you! Love this comment! My mom is a gerontologist and worked with a lot of older adults (70+) who were from different countries but wanted to learn more about the English language. Learning is so important because it also helps prevent Alzheimer’s as we keep our brain active. Very frustrating to hear him say all that 😕
I had this playing while I was washing dishes. I listened to a guy stumble through his amazon store pitch ad for nearly 2 minutes before I realized it wasn't part of the video 🤣
Eli Spencer lol!! No way! 😂😂 the youtube algorithm is horrible when it comes to these types of videos and doesn’t understand the nuance of videos against the very thing they advertise...
@@cruelworldhappymind all the boss babes and Rise and grind bros must be pretty annoyed their ad money is going to someone who specifically is advising against them!
Advertising joke execution at minute 9 was A+. Keep up the content. Just found your channel and love the way you think. The honesty you bring to an otherwise predatory world is needed to balance out the bullshit we are surrounded with.
I know this is the least problematic thing he does, but bragging about how many books you *own* is such an odd flex? Like, he does realize that KnOwleDge doesn’t just seep in through osmosis or something - you have to actually *read* the books in order to learn... Omg I just got to the part where he says 25yo (and older) can’t change. I’m honestly in such shock I don’t even know what to say to that... I’m almost 31, and the majority of my personal evolution/maturing/getting more comfortable in my own skin only happened in the last 4 years. And tbh my friends have similar experiences. He’s so full of garbage. Also, your makeup is so pretty!! ✨
Thank you!! And ikr! That’s such a good point I know people who have such incredible personal growth at an older age, even into their 60s, I just think he means they can’t be scammed as easily as someone under 25, tbh....
HufflePunk i think his deal is that the books somehow make you rich. You just have to pay him for his 67 steps to success so you can find out his the books will make you rich too.
Right? Im 30 and i have grown and developed so much more in the past 5 years than the previous 6. I think what he meant to say is young people are so much more gullible.
‘Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.’ -Ronald Wright
also, "Money can't buy happiness". I remember Barbara Streisand selling much of her artwork long ago, saying "Things begin to own you." Happiness is finding joy without overspending on your credit card.
as someone who lived next to Soviet union in the 80s and early 90s....they were FAST to get rid of their ideology when the Soviet Union finally folded. In Finland the commies dreamed we would part of the workers paradise but 80s changed everything when we got richer as a nation and had better access to western export goods.
@C. F. None of you have any idea what socialism means and it shows. There's not just die hard communism and exploit the poor capitalism. Europe is thriving for a reason
I appreciate the buying of new books though. These dudes are generating income for writers. Libraries are awesome, but people also need to buy books. Writers need to eat too.;) And most writers are poor, managing two jobs, one to sustain themselves and the other one is writing.
Not gonna lie, he almost got me interested with the seven new bookcases worth of books, but then I realized that he was keeping his books IN HIS GARAGE WITH HIS CAR. They'll be ruined in a year. I can't stand people that only have home libraries to show off to people how rich and smart they are.
Your presence is so calming. Thank you for raising awareness to the bad guys with the access to the hundreds of thousands of people in your audience. You are being heard by people who really need it. Scammers and frauds destroy lives.💜💯
Also those legit look like Ikea bookshelves .....and why would you have bookshelves in your garage...that could fall on top of your Lamborghini which you would never fucking do if you lived in California trust me
@@efolinsky Haha I have never experienced an earthquake so I didn't even think of this before your comment made me laugh really fucking hard because it's so true! Details in life matter and if I see somebody who has chapped lips but they claim to be rich I do question myself and ask are they having a skin issue right now or are they lacking and hygiene and self-care and actually look deeper into this? We all get data points and if we actually listen to people and pay attention to them without being painted by our emotions we can see very clearly. I like to think of it like dirt on my bubble when somebody emotionally hurts me and then it blinds me to what the world really looks like because that emotional damage is what I am really looking through. When I started working on my emotional damage then I saw a life very differently and much more clearly and that includes being able to see scammers. In my life my scammers have mostly been people I dated though that were abusive pieces of shit but that's a totally different story. But one of them did borrow $1,300 from me and never returned it. I'm not holding my breath on that since it's been like five years lol. also priorities, if you prioritize Lamborghinis above hygiene and self-care I have an issue with taking advice from you. I also wish the guys knew that he pays those girls to be in those videos and the way he acts does not actually get you good quality relationships with women.
Also, that looks like a fairly standard garage, the kind most of us park our Kias in. Would someone who can afford a Lambo REALLY have a standard 1 or 2 car garage? However, there are lots of Luxury Rental car agencies that will rent you a Lambo for a day to make a video in your middle class garage. Also, I don't live in CA, but wouldn't the heat and humidity ruin the books, seeing that garages are generally not insulated and climate controlled?
I was literally almost trapped in those Freebots a few days ago because I‘m trying my hardest to actually sell and bring out my art my designs, and I‘m so happy, so happy that I came across your videos. Definitely subscribed to you!!!
Yasss!!! Exactly! Its like what the media is doing with COVID, it doesnt matter how many ppl get it, it matters how many ppl die from it. MILLIONS get pink eye every year but its not fatal so it doesn't matter how many ppl get it, know what i mean? Like farting is a pandemic 😂 8 billion ppl fart every day but it doesnt matter because no one dies from farting 😄 idc how many ppl get diagnosed with COVID, whats important is how many ppl are legitimately dying from it. My uncle died March 6, 2020 in a car wreck and theybe listed his cause of death as COVID... Covid testing wasnt even available in Tx when he died & they never tested him. Weve all asked to see the test results showing he had it and theyve admitted he wasn't tested. Unfortunately a lot of families are going through the same, my neighbors daughter died from cancer February 27 , she had been in hospice since November 2019 and they listed covid as her cause of death even tho she was dying from cancer and had been for months. Its infuriating to me 😣
Nom De Plume why do you think this happens? I mean the deaths they register as covid caused even though doesn’t seem it’s true. Who could benefit from it?
This video really came in the right time. I see those ads everywhere. And i love that you took your time to make this video, and maybe not for me, but for all the other peapole that struggles and might considere this a solution. ❤️
Thank you for this ! I am so fed up with these youtube ads about guys who rented a mansion for 1 hour and pretend to live in it. I am so surprised not to see more videos like yours.
this video is fantastic. I get so excited whenever I find a new creator that is not just smart but employs critical thinking and actually analyzes these issues. I found you from one of your MLM videos recently and now just been binging. so excited to watch more!! keep up the awesome content
Anyone else notice that these scammy MLM / $ Making Guru “commercials” show up CONSTANTLY on almost every single anti-mlm video anymore! It is seriously SO ironically PERFECT!!! 💯🤷🏻♀️😂 Great video by the way; keep ‘em coming girlfriend! 👏🏼
I’m really happy you’re growing in subscribers. I’ve followed you after watching your video on gabbie Hannah and now I’m addicted to your videos. I’ve watched almost all of them and I enjoy listening to you while I study. And because I’m not an English native speaker, I even get better with it. Keep up with the hard work and thank you for all the knowledge you’ve gave me so far.
Same vein, I'd love to hear you talk about youtube "love gurus". The 10 ways to make him want you, 15 ways to win her back people. And maybe it would bundle with pickup artist??? They do the same "educational course" stuff.
I’m ashamed to admit that my partner got me roped into these scams. He was desperate for money and I wanted so badly to help him. You’re right that most of the information sold can be found free on the internet. The programs are disorganized, confusing, hard to follow, and have terrible pacing. Further, they just KEEP trying to sell you on more products. You buy the course, but wait! You actually ALSO need this app that the program’s friend built in order to succeed, which is conveniently also very expensive. And the that person sells you on THEIR friend’s product, and so on. It’s not that the information they’re claiming to sell isn’t actually available in their product or that you can’t succeed with it, but rather that it’s sloppy and difficult to comprehend, and often wrong, vague, or outdated. And then they just continue to try to upsell you. Thankfully I got pretty frustrated and gave up after a few months and only lost $1-2k, unlike some of the people cited in this video. But guys, please remember: they’re not here to help you be successful. They’re here to sell you shit products and then convince you that you’re the dumb one for not being able to follow their super easy products and if you just keep buying these add-ons, you’ll make it! They literally don’t care about whether or not you fail at their course, as long as they have your money.
Why would anyone put a Lamborghini in such a rickety garage, and why would anyone keep their books in any kind of garage?! Lamborghinis belong in one of those 20-car mega-garages underneath a 12000 square-foot castle, and books belong on bookshelves, if you're rich, then in a dedicated library. "Here is my new Lambie, but I prefer my books over material things." Why would anyone trust whatever this douchecanoe says?
So true! It really defies logic, but I think people believe it because they want to- they trust it because they want so badly to believe it can be a solution for them, kinda sad 😕
Ashley Lauren It might be part of their tactic, weeding out people, who would be suspicious by sth like and therefore not so easily susceptible to their scam. Just like email scammers put spelling error into their text, so only people who don‘t notice those and are already supposedly gullible, answer them in the first place. 🤔
My most updated technology is the iPhone 6 lol 😂 before that a android my come up is coming up one day I dream of having WiFi in my house and a ghetto tablet 😆
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been following a certain youtuber who has some pretty shady "financial freedom" & "confidence mastery" courses that she sells thousands of dollars. She has a large (but shrinking) following and is surrounded by a friend group that all sell the same scam courses. One big difference I've seen from standard MLM's is that she brands herself in a spiritual, new age way, which I find quite disturbing. Have you made any videos on fake gurus who market spirituality with their get rich quick schemes?
Aw thank you! And I would say the breakaway movement video I made is closest to what you’re describing, though there is a lot to cover in influencer marketing/ shady influenced businesses!
@@cruelworldhappymind Omg, yes that's exactly what I was thinking. The youtuber who I was talking about is actually a friend of the woman who started the breakaway movement & was all but selling kangen water to her own followers
Sigh, I own lots of books, but I'm still poor af. *crying* Must be the lack of garage. Edit: I feel personally assaulted by the claim that people over 25 have a hard time learning new stuff. I know it's just his way of scamming the young ones who haven't yet settled into a career. It's just the fact that I teach adults. My students are mostly aged 25 to 75. Adults in general are highly motivated students who have the abilities to think and do stuff on their own. People's mental capacities generally only start to deteriorate after they turn 75 (this was a fact in an adult education text book), but someone in their 80's can still learn and do amazing things.
I own a LOT of books, and you don't want to see my Kindle. Books bring me joy. I drive my "dream" car, a Mini Cooper, that is more loved as I saved up for years to pay for it, and drove my old car for 11 years. I would BRAG about NOT having car payments. Yes I paid in full for my Mini Cooper. And I got the simple one as I really won't use the turbo (for for the extra thousands) as I only drive in town. But, I'm more than SENIOR and am very happy. Have been, by ignoring flexing.
Even more so, most people I’ve been influenced by are older adults (my mom works at a nursing home) who have had much of their life revelations later on in life!!
I once worked with someone in his late 70s who was super into new technology, bought a Mini Cooper S when they first came out in the U.S. and was one of the most fun coworkers in an operation filled with idealistic young people willing to work for cheap.
33:16 I just want to say you are a God send.... as somebody who actively watches and listens to TH-cam daily, and also suffers from C-PTSD, this kind of warning is *MUCH APPRECIATED* and I love you. ❤️
I want to point out that what is being described as a “syndicate” to decide on prices is illegal. It’s called price collusion or “price fixing” and is regulated by the FTC. This is disgusting and completely dirty business practice.
The big issue though is that the resources for market regulation are severely gutted and neo-liberalism has also spread widely which means people will oppose any increase in government intervention in the economy.
THANK YOU for taking on Gary Vee!!!!!! Nobody ever actually does. I have been wanting to write something critical about him to publish but cannot stomach the millions of hours of content he produced constantly. The thing about Gary V is he started out with a $3M family business and gets praised for growing it. Which yeah he did great, but almost no one starts there.
I love the idea of him living in the gym shed. It makes me think of him like Kimmy Schmidt. Like he goes out of the gym shed one day and then he learns that the internet is a part of everyday life.
I get ads for videos like those all the time mostly on your channel too lol. Its like the algorithm knows I watch money scam/ mlm videos but doesn't know its videos against them .
Is that why I get ads for pick-up artist bs? I sometimes watch videos about pick-up artists sharing their techniques for "how to get laid," but those videos are people critiquing the entire practice by pointing out its misogynistic elements and/or mocking them for their cringeyness.
T Lopez over here talking about common knowledge but still managing to sound pompous and be talking down to us. That level of ego is like the final boss.
UltraViolence I wonder if it‘s a increase in general, which also probably yes, but also me and probably many of us watching antimlm, anti-scam videos and youtube‘s ad algorithm massively misinterpreting that as we want to be scammed 😂
Sorry for a third comment but... I researched a lot about these guys in Germany and a few things / strategies slways came up. 1. They use “awards” to make them seem more legit and successful, but the awards come from more scammy firms, often their “upline”. 2. They use “newspaper articles” about their success, but when you check the “article” out, it turns out that the “news website” is owned by them or their upline. 3. They use huge apartment and expensive cars as a “proof” that their business works, when you can lease / rent cars and pretty much fake all materialistic things. theres so many ways nowadays to pretend to be rich (eg rent a private plane on the ground for 1h to shoot content) 4. They use mostly inspriing quotes (often stolen content) and no actual knowledge, most of their content is talking sbout how rich they are 5. they use a looooooot of fake reviews, never ever trust these reviews, because their downlines are forced to comment positive things!!! Negative comments are often removed!
There also was a video on this topic by "funk", the internet-based youth channel network of the German publicly funded TV/radio stations. If I remember correctly, they found out that one guy who also poses with his expensive car, just rented the car and filmed the video in some random place.
The last topic on the Pyramid scheme type thing (ponzi scheme is more when you use new "investor" money to pay old investors profits to make you seem legit and get them to put more money into it, while you pocket the rest) on the Freebots is really a rehash of old late night commercials to the old "I made money by selling tiny ads in newspapers". Which was just a small 20 cent pamplet sold at $2 that told you do the same thing. It's been around for decades. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't do research for themselves on what they are getting in, or only read the first 2 articles on a Google search, which could be fake support pages. I hope your channel continues to grow and keep exposing these fakes for what they are.
Let's discuss money and happiness for a second. The research actually says that the only time money increases happiness is when it lifts you from poverty. It does not show a meaningful increase in happiness at any other time. I can really attest to that. I grew up with very little and it was HARD. Since then, I've been happy with what I have, because I noticed that when you have a comfortable amount of money and don't live in the moment, you really do miss out on actually living. Focusing on getting more and more actually made me feel dissatisfied.
OK, it’s just jumped to number one in the queue of videos I’m going to show my son. Extremely educational, Madison, and thanks for connecting the envelope stuffing scam, and clarifying that this is simply media and technology literacy. When the technologies change, we must educate ourselves as to how the scammers will be leveraging the technological change to scam us. Which you just did. So, wow. Luv ur content!!
Thank you for pulling the all nighter to edit this. This video is so intense and full of really important information that I will be watching it 3 or 4 times just to take it all in!!!!
Disturbingly, I've seen a lot of these ads during kids content. Due to the new rules around kids content on TH-cam, there is no targeted advertising (apparently) and while watching cartoon compilations and nursery rhyme videos with my 2yo I've noticed that a lot of the ads are for e-commerse scams and get rich quick schemes. This is really unsettling to me.
I swear also that I’ve noticed SO MANY MORE since the global pandemic and lockdown!! I watch a lot of TH-cam and I swear these ads have just gone through the roof!
The amount of scam ads that I kept getting on this video is honestly insane. It is so telling of the fact that this is really true and it’s happening all the time! I’ve been seeing these for a while and it’s so refreshing to see someone make a video like this. I just really hope that people stop falling for these types of scams even though I know the times that we are living in right now, I just hope people protect them selves. Don’t fall for this stuff people! This. Ain’t. It!
Ever since I began watching through all your videos, these 'freebot' and 'hunbot' sort of ads before/during your videos have been pretty much exclusively showing up. I love the irony of these ads being presented on a channel that almost exclusively informs its audience to stay away from them. Side note: I believe 'High Level' refers to a basic overview, something that shows the entire plan without much detail. Much like being in an airplane and seeing an entire city but lacking specificity.
Cara C it would still take him over 5 years to read all those! That’s so fake. There’s a website called like “instant bookshelf” where you buy books by the foot and they just send random books for decorative purposes. That’s probably what he’s done.
Great information, thanks for the video. Ever notice it's always "Get Rich Quick" but there's hardly ever any videos showing the way to live as a wealthy person. Aside from "Here's my new expensive thing!", No one ever explains the world of the rich, the best places to shop, etc.
1:10 of madison tellin it how it is It seems like these kinds of scams are preying more on men - MLMs seem to prey on women and talk about networking/support system while these have the images of being a business genius millionaire
You have amazing information in this video. You should segment it more and make some videos highlighting the most important parts. That piece about the “Syndicate” should have its own video. It’s a shame a lot of stuff in here will get lost due to a long run time.
one thing I dont understand about these guys is, do they really think they're gonna have this much money in the long run. It would be much smarter to invest and save ur money than buying expensive things that u can afford in the moment just so u can flex
YES! IKR!! It feels like they’re so caught up “portraying the lifestyle” but no matter how much money you make you’re still broke if you spend more than you make... lol!
Just like 6a5y lam6 said, they rent it. They don't have that kind of money to afford buying it, at least not at the start of their scam. It's just like the hunbot and some instagrammers' 'richposting' fake it til you make it strategy. They create a fantasy that they hope you'll want to follow.
Also, they can get books out quickly via PLR and sales funnels. Most businesses do these days, but it’s the start of a sales funnel. Free product -> $7.99 book -> $29.99 course and so on. Those steps in the sales funnel add up and are also affiliate links. Which is more money. They don’t have to even know what’s in the books or courses at all lol. Before you know it, you’re at a $5,000 conference and you don’t even get to meet the guru.
Cruel World Happy Mind lol yes, and the limited time offers are pre-timed as a function in the sales funnel. You could set this up in 24 hours and it can go on a far as you want. Convert kit, click bank, etc. there is a time and place but PLR products and ghostwriting is at the heart of the process once they collect the email from the “free” product they giveaway. Getting something free lowers your defenses to being open to buying something for $7 and then higher and higher.
Omg my aunt bought something like this and I was so confused. She was so excited when she told me and I was shocked she paid so much money for information that is easily accessible for FREE.
JustThatLauren from what I recall that’s just dudes in mlm companies, not necessarily dudes selling get rich quick schemes, plus I’ve noticed though there aren’t a ton there are women who do these sorts of things (some featured in the video) so I didn’t want to call them all brobots
There's a company called Mindvalley... Someone below commented on Jay Shetty. As I get sooo many MLM and Scam ads, I wonder if they are too, as I get a lot of their ads. I hate to see "spiritual gurus" or ANYONE for that matter taking advantage on people's weaknesses... ugh. Thank you for your videos!!! I thought I was going crazy
You became one of my favorite channels quickly! Love how much work and research you put in them! You are truly becoming one of the most objective/informative anti-scam channels on TH-cam for sure! Love it. Greetings from The Netherlands, can’t wait to see more videos.
I'm pretty sure by "high level" he means "a very broad outline" We use that term a lot at work in meetings when going over things in a very broad overview kind of way. As in to say "we'll go over the details later". Just FYI Otherwise, I love your videos. Keep it up!
Hysterical!!!! Right when you said first one are the freebots! Almost immediately was a guy talking about having the secret to success and get my book for free! Unreal
So glad I found your channel. I’ve been binge-watching your videos all day. Thank you for shining more light on these scammers! P.S. I’m short-sighted and wear my glasses when I work out 😅
"Here I am in front of my green screen, here's some prerecorded footage of a Lamborghini inexplicably backed up against some bookshelves, but yeah anyway you can click on my dumb face and I'll lie to you some more."
I thought this was gonna be a Livestream with the length of the video but im so glad it wasn't. the editing and structuring is consistently great and your commentary is always engaging.
Dead ass in my bathroom cleaning and recited everything Ty told me to in my mirror in real time and I about died laughing. He sounds like student starting their research paper 3 hours before it’s due😅
The ad before this video started was a guy who looked 12 offering me $2000 worth of courses for $9 provided by his programme. The ad told me nothing about who he is or what his qualifications were to be an educator was other than I'm rich ask me how.
Hey Madison, First- I love your channel! You mentioned that you thought that some of these people are renting spaces to film. THEY ARE! I can not reference any specific news article, or even where I found out this information but... a lot of reality personalities either sneak into properties, like a hotel, or any super upscale place to film. Example: They can ask to see the rooms available in a hotel for them to choose from, as if they are actually going to rent a hotel room. While they do this they have a cohort film them on the downlown while they pose in these super luxe rooms. Apparently, you can somehow pay a private jet company, a tiny amount of money to film them walking up/ or down the stairs to the private plane. They are not allowed to get on the plane, but the consumer believes theses scammers are so rich that they are flying around in jets. Also, when a person somehow gets a reality show, they rent a mansion and film in it. You can rent these palatial estates by the day, week or month. It is, apparently quite common. Like the Bachelor reality shows are only filmed in rented estates- which everyone knows- for the filming. I'm sure I do not know "the deep dive" on this issue. I do know one thing for sure. I have seen TH-camrs who look like they are sitting on a couch in a really nice room. Not only is the couch on a green screen, but the entire room- or the background seen, is somehow created digitally. It's a watered down version of Deep Fake. You can google the term Deep Fake and news articles come up about this new technology. I am in no way a "tech person" and have no first hand experience using the tactics I have mentioned.Thanks for your informational videos- keep up the good work!
How does this video not have a million views? This is something important that people need to know, I get these ads all the time. Thank you so much for all your research.
Doing the world a service. I was in a bad place a few years ago and looking for anything to get out of the hole I was in. I’d get so close to signing up for these courses and then do my own research to see anyone could do it. Then I realized if anyone can do it and get rich, everyone would do it. And I’d back out. Didn’t understand how this could be legal and I think it’s a matter of time.
Ever since I subscribed to anti-mlm content I get these types of ads. I have flagged them as inappropriate but because there are so many they just change the face but never the message.
YES GREAT IDEA!!! I wish I would have encouraged more to do that in this video, that’s definitely a good way to help prevent these guys from spreading their “message”
At the one minute mark when you show the reddit post about guru scams, it was interrupted by an ad for the exact same guru scam that is featured in the reddit post. Perfect timing.
I am so glad you're pointing this out... I also suspect some similar things go on in the coaching world. In that realm, coaches are always paying big bucks to coaches a level or two above them, and given what I've heard from others in the industry it seems to me that unless you're a top notch marketer and put a LOT of time and energy into it, the big money is coaches who train others to become coaches. I've seen a lot of similar manipulative marketing tactics coming from them. Not that I think coaching is inherently an illegitimate industry, some really do excellent and valuable work. But because there is no prerequisite to call yourself a coach, there are also many who are scammy with super inflated prices. I suspect the biggest earners just make money off of training other coaches while projecting a fake rich lifestyle or keeping new coaches on the hook forever with business coaching.
OMG, I was hoping that one of the anti-MLM channels were going to talk about this at some point. I thought that it was probably something not as well known in this community given that its tactics are a bit more subtle, and also has the tendency to prey a little bit more on men.
Also, people under 25 don't yet have a fully developed prefrontal cortex, so not only do they have less of an ability to think critically and assess potential consequences, but it's also much easier to "program" certain behaviors into their brains because of the fact that they're still actively developing. So fucked up
These are the ads I get before your video so glad you are doing this video
Thank you!!! Yes exactly I’ve heard so much that these guys have ads on my videos so I had to talk about this and expose them!! So glad you appreciate this video 💜💜
Cruel World Happy Mind it was so in lighting also how illegal this is!!
So are we giving money to them since they have ads in her videos?
Christina J. No. They’re giving money to her 😈
All.the. time! When she said "lets look at this guy" I got an ad...for a feebot xDD it was glorious timing
Omg before I continue watching the video: He targets people 18 to 24 because before 25 your prefrontal cortex isn't developed. The prefrontal cortex is a key to our choice making and critical thinking. And one more thing: you can change after 25, we're all in constant change!

Learning is so important because it also helps prevent Alzheimer’s as we keep our brain active. Very frustrating to hear him say all that 😕
Did you know... that e-commerce... means that you're selling things... on the internet ?! 🥺
This guy truly is a visionary.
LOLOL!! Yes. Much knowledge 🤣🤣
Wait... you can actually make money... on the internet? When the fuck did this happen?
If this is true.... Then e-mail must mean..... 🤔😑😮
My God, this business jargon will surely make me reach 7 figures! Look at us goooo! 😄
Hearing someone call an iPad "ghetto" is so annoying. I can't afford an iPad so I must be so much lower LMAO
Me too
That was so cringe and unprofessional
I had this playing while I was washing dishes. I listened to a guy stumble through his amazon store pitch ad for nearly 2 minutes before I realized it wasn't part of the video 🤣
Eli Spencer lol!! No way! 😂😂 the youtube algorithm is horrible when it comes to these types of videos and doesn’t understand the nuance of videos against the very thing they advertise...
@@cruelworldhappymind all the boss babes and Rise and grind bros must be pretty annoyed their ad money is going to someone who specifically is advising against them!
I was doing something else too and looked down so I could hit the Skip Ad and then realized it was part of this video. 😁
Twice!
Same
Advertising joke execution at minute 9 was A+. Keep up the content. Just found your channel and love the way you think. The honesty you bring to an otherwise predatory world is needed to balance out the bullshit we are surrounded with.
Ikr, I loved it, especially that the ad was for "making thousands being a lift driver!" For me
I know this is the least problematic thing he does, but bragging about how many books you *own* is such an odd flex? Like, he does realize that KnOwleDge doesn’t just seep in through osmosis or something - you have to actually *read* the books in order to learn...
Omg I just got to the part where he says 25yo (and older) can’t change. I’m honestly in such shock I don’t even know what to say to that... I’m almost 31, and the majority of my personal evolution/maturing/getting more comfortable in my own skin only happened in the last 4 years. And tbh my friends have similar experiences. He’s so full of garbage.
Also, your makeup is so pretty!! ✨
He's Tai Lopez iirc. He was shilling this "cryptolending" Ponzi scam called Bitconnect sometime back. lots of people got burned because of him.
Thank you!! And ikr! That’s such a good point I know people who have such incredible personal growth at an older age, even into their 60s, I just think he means they can’t be scammed as easily as someone under 25, tbh....
I oWn BoOks I aRE SmrAT
HufflePunk i think his deal is that the books somehow make you rich. You just have to pay him for his 67 steps to success so you can find out his the books will make you rich too.
Right? Im 30 and i have grown and developed so much more in the past 5 years than the previous 6. I think what he meant to say is young people are so much more gullible.

‘Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.’
-Ronald Wright
also, "Money can't buy happiness". I remember Barbara Streisand selling much of her artwork long ago, saying "Things begin to own you." Happiness is finding joy without overspending on your credit card.
Beautiful commentary that fits so well with this video! Definitely points out a very crucial point as to why these schemes thrive so well in America
as someone who lived next to Soviet union in the 80s and early 90s....they were FAST to get rid of their ideology when the Soviet Union finally folded. In Finland the commies dreamed we would part of the workers paradise but 80s changed everything when we got richer as a nation and had better access to western export goods.
Socialism never took root in America because we're smart enough to see it's a horrible idea and would tank our economy🤷🏼♀️
@C. F. None of you have any idea what socialism means and it shows. There's not just die hard communism and exploit the poor capitalism. Europe is thriving for a reason
“High level” doesn’t mean “advanced” instead it means something abstract and low-detailed. The opposite is “low level”
I was going to comment this. It’s one of those corporate jargon terms that’s totally counter intuitive.
"I don't care about materialistic things"
"Look at my TWO THOUSAND NEW BOOKS"
Ali W right?! Go to the library. Also, two thousand new books implies that you haven’t read them yet.
I appreciate the buying of new books though. These dudes are generating income for writers. Libraries are awesome, but people also need to buy books. Writers need to eat too.;) And most writers are poor, managing two jobs, one to sustain themselves and the other one is writing.
Not gonna lie, he almost got me interested with the seven new bookcases worth of books, but then I realized that he was keeping his books IN HIS GARAGE WITH HIS CAR. They'll be ruined in a year. I can't stand people that only have home libraries to show off to people how rich and smart they are.
Lmao!!! 😂😂
@@FullMoonOctober OMG I didn't realize! Destroying books like that is not a good look. x(
Your presence is so calming. Thank you for raising awareness to the bad guys with the access to the hundreds of thousands of people in your audience. You are being heard by people who really need it. Scammers and frauds destroy lives.💜💯
So he can afford Lamborghini’s and bookshelves, but no chapstick and water.
Also those legit look like Ikea bookshelves .....and why would you have bookshelves in your garage...that could fall on top of your Lamborghini which you would never fucking do if you lived in California trust me
Giiiiiiiiirl 😂😂😂
@@efolinsky exactly!
@@efolinsky Haha I have never experienced an earthquake so I didn't even think of this before your comment made me laugh really fucking hard because it's so true! Details in life matter and if I see somebody who has chapped lips but they claim to be rich I do question myself and ask are they having a skin issue right now or are they lacking and hygiene and self-care and actually look deeper into this? We all get data points and if we actually listen to people and pay attention to them without being painted by our emotions we can see very clearly. I like to think of it like dirt on my bubble when somebody emotionally hurts me and then it blinds me to what the world really looks like because that emotional damage is what I am really looking through. When I started working on my emotional damage then I saw a life very differently and much more clearly and that includes being able to see scammers. In my life my scammers have mostly been people I dated though that were abusive pieces of shit but that's a totally different story. But one of them did borrow $1,300 from me and never returned it. I'm not holding my breath on that since it's been like five years lol. also priorities, if you prioritize Lamborghinis above hygiene and self-care I have an issue with taking advice from you. I also wish the guys knew that he pays those girls to be in those videos and the way he acts does not actually get you good quality relationships with women.
Also, that looks like a fairly standard garage, the kind most of us park our Kias in. Would someone who can afford a Lambo REALLY have a standard 1 or 2 car garage? However, there are lots of Luxury Rental car agencies that will rent you a Lambo for a day to make a video in your middle class garage.
Also, I don't live in CA, but wouldn't the heat and humidity ruin the books, seeing that garages are generally not insulated and climate controlled?
I was literally almost trapped in those Freebots a few days ago because I‘m trying my hardest to actually sell and bring out my art my designs, and I‘m so happy, so happy that I came across your videos. Definitely subscribed to you!!!
I hate that the only tell sale totals. It doesn't matter if you made $100k if you spent $200k.
EXACTLY!!!
And money after taxes, overhead etc.
Yasss!!! Exactly! Its like what the media is doing with COVID, it doesnt matter how many ppl get it, it matters how many ppl die from it. MILLIONS get pink eye every year but its not fatal so it doesn't matter how many ppl get it, know what i mean? Like farting is a pandemic 😂 8 billion ppl fart every day but it doesnt matter because no one dies from farting 😄 idc how many ppl get diagnosed with COVID, whats important is how many ppl are legitimately dying from it. My uncle died March 6, 2020 in a car wreck and theybe listed his cause of death as COVID... Covid testing wasnt even available in Tx when he died & they never tested him. Weve all asked to see the test results showing he had it and theyve admitted he wasn't tested. Unfortunately a lot of families are going through the same, my neighbors daughter died from cancer February 27 , she had been in hospice since November 2019 and they listed covid as her cause of death even tho she was dying from cancer and had been for months. Its infuriating to me 😣
Nom De Plume why do you think this happens? I mean the deaths they register as covid caused even though doesn’t seem it’s true. Who could benefit from it?
Late reply but this has always annoyed me about these types! Okay, revenue is great, but what's your COGS? Operating expenses?
This video really came in the right time. I see those ads everywhere. And i love that you took your time to make this video, and maybe not for me, but for all the other peapole that struggles and might considere this a solution. ❤️
After you said "Hi I'm Madison Harnesh" an ad for dropshipping literally played
(I manually did that bc I thought it would be funny, lol!)
I find it hilarious the ads that play during the video! Well heck as long as Madison gets some of the money, I'm happy!!
Cruel World Happy Mind I thought TH-camrs can‘t control what ads play? Or do you mean you manually placed just an ad there?
Sammeeee!
@@athousandlives7231 they can't control who advertises but they can chose where to place them in their videos
Thank you for this ! I am so fed up with these youtube ads about guys who rented a mansion for 1 hour and pretend to live in it. I am so surprised not to see more videos like yours.
Ah yes the IPad. The worlds most “ghetto” technology
SO CRINGE 🙄😬
I have literally managed to take a college test on my old Iphone 4!!! She DOES not know ghetto :D
I don’t have an iPad 😒
I've done a whole online class on an android using someone else's wi-fi. Thank you Rich_friend
ironically when i lived in a third-world ghetto, a lot of people had iphones while i still had only a basic brick phone.
this video is fantastic. I get so excited whenever I find a new creator that is not just smart but employs critical thinking and actually analyzes these issues. I found you from one of your MLM videos recently and now just been binging. so excited to watch more!! keep up the awesome content
Anyone else notice that these scammy MLM / $ Making Guru “commercials” show up CONSTANTLY on almost every single anti-mlm video anymore! It is seriously SO ironically PERFECT!!! 💯🤷🏻♀️😂 Great video by the way; keep ‘em coming girlfriend! 👏🏼
Yes!!! That was a big motivation for making this video! Thank you 💜
huh?
I’m really happy you’re growing in subscribers. I’ve followed you after watching your video on gabbie Hannah and now I’m addicted to your videos. I’ve watched almost all of them and I enjoy listening to you while I study. And because I’m not an English native speaker, I even get better with it. Keep up with the hard work and thank you for all the knowledge you’ve gave me so far.
Same vein, I'd love to hear you talk about youtube "love gurus". The 10 ways to make him want you, 15 ways to win her back people. And maybe it would bundle with pickup artist??? They do the same "educational course" stuff.
There are some videos already on the channel on that topic if I recall correctly. Same scam, different fun :D

@@cruelworldhappymind I am admiring your beautiful caucasian features
I’m ashamed to admit that my partner got me roped into these scams. He was desperate for money and I wanted so badly to help him. You’re right that most of the information sold can be found free on the internet. The programs are disorganized, confusing, hard to follow, and have terrible pacing. Further, they just KEEP trying to sell you on more products. You buy the course, but wait! You actually ALSO need this app that the program’s friend built in order to succeed, which is conveniently also very expensive. And the that person sells you on THEIR friend’s product, and so on. It’s not that the information they’re claiming to sell isn’t actually available in their product or that you can’t succeed with it, but rather that it’s sloppy and difficult to comprehend, and often wrong, vague, or outdated. And then they just continue to try to upsell you. Thankfully I got pretty frustrated and gave up after a few months and only lost $1-2k, unlike some of the people cited in this video. But guys, please remember: they’re not here to help you be successful. They’re here to sell you shit products and then convince you that you’re the dumb one for not being able to follow their super easy products and if you just keep buying these add-ons, you’ll make it! They literally don’t care about whether or not you fail at their course, as long as they have your money.
Why would anyone put a Lamborghini in such a rickety garage, and why would anyone keep their books in any kind of garage?! Lamborghinis belong in one of those 20-car mega-garages underneath a 12000 square-foot castle, and books belong on bookshelves, if you're rich, then in a dedicated library. "Here is my new Lambie, but I prefer my books over material things." Why would anyone trust whatever this douchecanoe says?
So true! It really defies logic, but I think people believe it because they want to- they trust it because they want so badly to believe it can be a solution for them, kinda sad 😕
If I was rich, I better not have to store my precious books in a drafty garage, but in their own cosy library 😂
Ashley Lauren It might be part of their tactic, weeding out people, who would be suspicious by sth like and therefore not so easily susceptible to their scam. Just like email scammers put spelling error into their text, so only people who don‘t notice those and are already supposedly gullible, answer them in the first place. 🤔
פ
Because he probably rented that lambo
I get so many of these ads, thank you so much for addressing this. I’m so tired of seeing these scammers.
Omg I have a garage. And 10 books. Where do I sign. I am so close.
Omg you’re almost there!! All you need now is a million dollars and then you’re a millionaire! It’s that simple and easy!
Only 10 books? Pfft... you've gotta up those numbers

I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been following a certain youtuber who has some pretty shady "financial freedom" & "confidence mastery" courses that she sells thousands of dollars. She has a large (but shrinking) following and is surrounded by a friend group that all sell the same scam courses. One big difference I've seen from standard MLM's is that she brands herself in a spiritual, new age way, which I find quite disturbing. Have you made any videos on fake gurus who market spirituality with their get rich quick schemes?
Aw thank you! And I would say the breakaway movement video I made is closest to what you’re describing, though there is a lot to cover in influencer marketing/ shady influenced businesses!
@@cruelworldhappymind Omg, yes that's exactly what I was thinking. The youtuber who I was talking about is actually a friend of the woman who started the breakaway movement & was all but selling kangen water to her own followers
Sigh, I own lots of books, but I'm still poor af. *crying* Must be the lack of garage.
Edit: I feel personally assaulted by the claim that people over 25 have a hard time learning new stuff. I know it's just his way of scamming the young ones who haven't yet settled into a career. It's just the fact that I teach adults. My students are mostly aged 25 to 75. Adults in general are highly motivated students who have the abilities to think and do stuff on their own. People's mental capacities generally only start to deteriorate after they turn 75 (this was a fact in an adult education text book), but someone in their 80's can still learn and do amazing things.
Thank you!!! I just turned 25 and was shocked when he said that! I still have a lot to learn and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I own a LOT of books, and you don't want to see my Kindle. Books bring me joy. I drive my "dream" car, a Mini Cooper, that is more loved as I saved up for years to pay for it, and drove my old car for 11 years. I would BRAG about NOT having car payments. Yes I paid in full for my Mini Cooper. And I got the simple one as I really won't use the turbo (for for the extra thousands) as I only drive in town. But, I'm more than SENIOR and am very happy. Have been, by ignoring flexing.
Even more so, most people I’ve been influenced by are older adults (my mom works at a nursing home) who have had much of their life revelations later on in life!!
I once worked with someone in his late 70s who was super into new technology, bought a Mini Cooper S when they first came out in the U.S. and was one of the most fun coworkers in an operation filled with idealistic young people willing to work for cheap.
33:16 I just want to say you are a God send.... as somebody who actively watches and listens to TH-cam daily, and also suffers from C-PTSD, this kind of warning is *MUCH APPRECIATED* and I love you. ❤️
I want to point out that what is being described as a “syndicate” to decide on prices is illegal. It’s called price collusion or “price fixing” and is regulated by the FTC. This is disgusting and completely dirty business practice.
The big issue though is that the resources for market regulation are severely gutted and neo-liberalism has also spread widely which means people will oppose any increase in government intervention in the economy.
THANK YOU for taking on Gary Vee!!!!!! Nobody ever actually does. I have been wanting to write something critical about him to publish but cannot stomach the millions of hours of content he produced constantly. The thing about Gary V is he started out with a $3M family business and gets praised for growing it. Which yeah he did great, but almost no one starts there.

I get ads for videos like those all the time mostly on your channel too lol. Its like the algorithm knows I watch money scam/ mlm videos but doesn't know its videos against them .
I KNOW RIGHT?!? I had to expose them, so sick of their ads on my channel lol!
@@cruelworldhappymind meh.. Let em pay to play.
Is that why I get ads for pick-up artist bs? I sometimes watch videos about pick-up artists sharing their techniques for "how to get laid," but those videos are people critiquing the entire practice by pointing out its misogynistic elements and/or mocking them for their cringeyness.
T Lopez over here talking about common knowledge but still managing to sound pompous and be talking down to us. That level of ego is like the final boss.
😂😂
I got one of those "get rich guru" ads before this video😂😬
Ugh they’re EVERYWHERE 🙄🙄
All of the ads during this video were one of these scam videos. I've seen a huge increase in them the last few weeks.
I let the ad run hoping she gets the money for it 👌
Same
UltraViolence I wonder if it‘s a increase in general, which also probably yes, but also me and probably many of us watching antimlm, anti-scam videos and youtube‘s ad algorithm massively misinterpreting that as we want to be scammed 😂
OMFG! when Madison was joking about putting an add after her name, it did appear an add...AND IT WAS A GET RICH ONE
Me too!!!! Lol
Sorry for a third comment but... I researched a lot about these guys in Germany and a few things / strategies slways came up. 1. They use “awards” to make them seem more legit and successful, but the awards come from more scammy firms, often their “upline”. 2. They use “newspaper articles” about their success, but when you check the “article” out, it turns out that the “news website” is owned by them or their upline. 3. They use huge apartment and expensive cars as a “proof” that their business works, when you can lease / rent cars and pretty much fake all materialistic things. theres so many ways nowadays to pretend to be rich (eg rent a private plane on the ground for 1h to shoot content) 4. They use mostly inspriing quotes (often stolen content) and no actual knowledge, most of their content is talking sbout how rich they are 5. they use a looooooot of fake reviews, never ever trust these reviews, because their downlines are forced to comment positive things!!! Negative comments are often removed!
There also was a video on this topic by "funk", the internet-based youth channel network of the German publicly funded TV/radio stations. If I remember correctly, they found out that one guy who also poses with his expensive car, just rented the car and filmed the video in some random place.
Little Anina thank you for sharing this info!! 💜💜💜
Your ad break after your name KILLED ME😂 and then I got a freebot ad
Got so many freebot ads during this video 😂
Don’t worry, I watched them all from start to finish. Get that Adsense girl!
Did it have to do with Forbes? I got an ad with an Asian guy named kevin who works for Forbes I guess
Aw you are SO SWEET love💜!! Lol 😂
Same dats why the mute button is there
The last topic on the Pyramid scheme type thing (ponzi scheme is more when you use new "investor" money to pay old investors profits to make you seem legit and get them to put more money into it, while you pocket the rest) on the Freebots is really a rehash of old late night commercials to the old "I made money by selling tiny ads in newspapers". Which was just a small 20 cent pamplet sold at $2 that told you do the same thing. It's been around for decades. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't do research for themselves on what they are getting in, or only read the first 2 articles on a Google search, which could be fake support pages. I hope your channel continues to grow and keep exposing these fakes for what they are.
Let's discuss money and happiness for a second. The research actually says that the only time money increases happiness is when it lifts you from poverty. It does not show a meaningful increase in happiness at any other time. I can really attest to that. I grew up with very little and it was HARD. Since then, I've been happy with what I have, because I noticed that when you have a comfortable amount of money and don't live in the moment, you really do miss out on actually living. Focusing on getting more and more actually made me feel dissatisfied.
TOTALLY agree! Money makes me uncomfortable tbh. There’s so many other more fulfilling things to focus on in the world!
You said that in an excellent way! I understand . We weren't rich, either.
also even Elon Musk is selling all his property, and only renting from now on, as he found out THINGS can't buy you happiness.
OK, it’s just jumped to number one in the queue of videos I’m going to show my son. Extremely educational, Madison, and thanks for connecting the envelope stuffing scam, and clarifying that this is simply media and technology literacy. When the technologies change, we must educate ourselves as to how the scammers will be leveraging the technological change to scam us. Which you just did. So, wow. Luv ur content!!
I love this. Expose these scammers in this time of depression and poverty the likes that no one has seen before
Sharkes are Sexy THANK YOU AND YES YOU GET ME!! 💜🌟
Thank you for pulling the all nighter to edit this. This video is so intense and full of really important information that I will be watching it 3 or 4 times just to take it all in!!!!
Disturbingly, I've seen a lot of these ads during kids content. Due to the new rules around kids content on TH-cam, there is no targeted advertising (apparently) and while watching cartoon compilations and nursery rhyme videos with my 2yo I've noticed that a lot of the ads are for e-commerse scams and get rich quick schemes. This is really unsettling to me.
it's targeting stay at home parent! That's horrible!
No way!! That’s so absurd!! Thank you for sharing this!
I swear also that I’ve noticed SO MANY MORE since the global pandemic and lockdown!! I watch a lot of TH-cam and I swear these ads have just gone through the roof!
I would advise just read aloud to the child, that way you avoid ads.
(If I had a child to read to, I would start with Winnie The Pooh!)

Ever since I began watching through all your videos, these 'freebot' and 'hunbot' sort of ads before/during your videos have been pretty much exclusively showing up. I love the irony of these ads being presented on a channel that almost exclusively informs its audience to stay away from them.
Side note: I believe 'High Level' refers to a basic overview, something that shows the entire plan without much detail. Much like being in an airplane and seeing an entire city but lacking specificity.
My question is WHY youtube allows their videos and takes money from them to play as advertisements?
EXACTLY!!!!!
@@cruelworldhappymind some of the TH-cam advertisement about it are in your videos. It is kind of ironic.
PeachyPinkRose becase they pay to advertise?
You answered your own question when you said "money"
Because TH-cam has no morals and only cares about money.
Thank you so much for this. I had no idea how scammy and similar to the MLM structure these motivational speakers are. Eyes opened.
Thank you very much !!!!!
When is he planning on reading 2000 books while he's scamming people?
I know right?!? 🤦♀️🤦♀️ plz tai go read your books and leave the world alone with your scams
Lol
In one of his videos he said he reads one book a day. I was watching it because of his luscious black hair not because I believed him btw.
Cara C it would still take him over 5 years to read all those! That’s so fake. There’s a website called like “instant bookshelf” where you buy books by the foot and they just send random books for decorative purposes. That’s probably what he’s done.
@@cayteer I actually watched one of his videos where he talks about his "reading". He doesn't really read his books but he scans them for information.
Totally unrelated, your highlight looks amazing! You have unicorn cheeks. 🦄
Thank you love!! It’s the physicians formula iridescent highlighter wanted to mix it up a bit in this video haha!
@@cruelworldhappymind is it a butter highlighter?
And the eyeshadow so good
Great information, thanks for the video. Ever notice it's always "Get Rich Quick" but there's hardly ever any videos showing the way to live as a wealthy person. Aside from "Here's my new expensive thing!", No one ever explains the world of the rich, the best places to shop, etc.
1:10 of madison tellin it how it is
It seems like these kinds of scams are preying more on men - MLMs seem to prey on women and talk about networking/support system while these have the images of being a business genius millionaire
RhymingMime YES!! Such a good point!! 🌟🌟 totally agree
You have amazing information in this video. You should segment it more and make some videos highlighting the most important parts. That piece about the “Syndicate” should have its own video. It’s a shame a lot of stuff in here will get lost due to a long run time.
Thank you for your suggestion! I actually think I’ll look into that more and mace if a full video thank you 🥰
one thing I dont understand about these guys is, do they really think they're gonna have this much money in the long run. It would be much smarter to invest and save ur money than buying expensive things that u can afford in the moment just so u can flex
They rent the expensive stuff for pictures and videos
YES! IKR!! It feels like they’re so caught up “portraying the lifestyle” but no matter how much money you make you’re still broke if you spend more than you make... lol!
Just like 6a5y lam6 said, they rent it. They don't have that kind of money to afford buying it, at least not at the start of their scam. It's just like the hunbot and some instagrammers' 'richposting' fake it til you make it strategy. They create a fantasy that they hope you'll want to follow.
That ad trick at 8:35 was really cool some breaking the 4th wall shit
Also, they can get books out quickly via PLR and sales funnels. Most businesses do these days, but it’s the start of a sales funnel. Free product -> $7.99 book -> $29.99 course and so on. Those steps in the sales funnel add up and are also affiliate links. Which is more money. They don’t have to even know what’s in the books or courses at all lol. Before you know it, you’re at a $5,000 conference and you don’t even get to meet the guru.
NO WAY!! That’s disgusting!!
Cruel World Happy Mind lol yes, and the limited time offers are pre-timed as a function in the sales funnel. You could set this up in 24 hours and it can go on a far as you want. Convert kit, click bank, etc. there is a time and place but PLR products and ghostwriting is at the heart of the process once they collect the email from the “free” product they giveaway. Getting something free lowers your defenses to being open to buying something for $7 and then higher and higher.
I love how every time I watch a video about get rich quick scams, every ad break has an ad for a get rich quick scam.
Omg my aunt bought something like this and I was so confused. She was so excited when she told me and I was shocked she paid so much money for information that is easily accessible for FREE.
S. Ramlad I’m so sorry to hear that! Yes that’s the worst part is so much can be easily found online just through your own research!
I got an ad right as you were mocking the guy for placing an ad at the beginning of his video and I had a great chuckle about it
I thought these sort of guys were already called "bro-bots"
JustThatLauren from what I recall that’s just dudes in mlm companies, not necessarily dudes selling get rich quick schemes, plus I’ve noticed though there aren’t a ton there are women who do these sorts of things (some featured in the video) so I didn’t want to call them all brobots
There's a company called Mindvalley... Someone below commented on Jay Shetty. As I get sooo many MLM and Scam ads, I wonder if they are too, as I get a lot of their ads. I hate to see "spiritual gurus" or ANYONE for that matter taking advantage on people's weaknesses... ugh. Thank you for your videos!!! I thought I was going crazy
You became one of my favorite channels quickly! Love how much work and research you put in them! You are truly becoming one of the most objective/informative anti-scam channels on TH-cam for sure! Love it. Greetings from The Netherlands, can’t wait to see more videos.
appelszijngroen THANK YOU!!! That means the world to me 💜💜🌟
I'm pretty sure by "high level" he means "a very broad outline" We use that term a lot at work in meetings when going over things in a very broad overview kind of way. As in to say "we'll go over the details later". Just FYI
Otherwise, I love your videos. Keep it up!
The irony that the ad is exactly what you’re talking about
I know right?! These guys constantly have ads on my channel...
@@cruelworldhappymind Well, at least we have you debunking this s--- in real time. Thanks for this public service!
@@cruelworldhappymind I thought the ad was a clip you were shopping because it was talking about Shopifying right after you mentioned it
They're literally paying to be talked shit about. It's great.
Omg lol sameeee
Hysterical!!!! Right when you said first one are the freebots! Almost immediately was a guy talking about having the secret to success and get my book for free! Unreal
He has all those books and still uses the phrase “materialistic things”?
Really!?!?? I can’t with this one!
Rachel Hart 😂😂😂
So glad I found your channel. I’ve been binge-watching your videos all day. Thank you for shining more light on these scammers!
P.S. I’m short-sighted and wear my glasses when I work out 😅
Every ad Google’s algorithm generated for this video was a freebot ad😂
No way!! 😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
"Here I am in front of my green screen, here's some prerecorded footage of a Lamborghini inexplicably backed up against some bookshelves, but yeah anyway you can click on my dumb face and I'll lie to you some more."
Best comment!
I guess rich successful businessmen just prefer to keep their books in the garage. Seems legit 🤔
I thought this was gonna be a Livestream with the length of the video but im so glad it wasn't.
the editing and structuring is consistently great and your commentary is always engaging.
iji modo WOW THANK YOU! I needed this comment so much, put so much love into this one so glad you enjoyed it 💜
wow the ad that just played literally started by saying "if you dropship with shopify or amazon fba you shouldn't skip this ad"
The ad you talked about towards the end of your video literally popped as an ad for me & I got about 4 other ads for e-commerce on this video 😳
NO WAY LOL! I’ve been getting that ad recently so I had to include it 😂😂
An older man told me "Success" is being contempt and comfortable in your living, free of debt, and easily sustainable.
Dead ass in my bathroom cleaning and recited everything Ty told me to in my mirror in real time and I about died laughing. He sounds like student starting their research paper 3 hours before it’s due😅
AndBloo LMAO THATS AMAZING 😂😂😂😂😂
You're such a wise, articulate and kind soul. We need more philosophers, who love analysing like you, in the world.
The ad before this video started was a guy who looked 12 offering me $2000 worth of courses for $9 provided by his programme. The ad told me nothing about who he is or what his qualifications were to be an educator was other than I'm rich ask me how.
UltraViolence IKR I keep getting that ad too!!
Hey Madison, First- I love your channel! You mentioned that you thought that some of these people are renting spaces to film. THEY ARE! I can not reference any specific news article, or even where I found out this information but... a lot of reality personalities either sneak into properties, like a hotel, or any super upscale place to film. Example: They can ask to see the rooms available in a hotel for them to choose from, as if they are actually going to rent a hotel room. While they do this they have a cohort film them on the downlown while they pose in these super luxe rooms. Apparently, you can somehow pay a private jet company, a tiny amount of money to film them walking up/ or down the stairs to the private plane. They are not allowed to get on the plane, but the consumer believes theses scammers are so rich that they are flying around in jets. Also, when a person somehow gets a reality show, they rent a mansion and film in it. You can rent these palatial estates by the day, week or month. It is, apparently quite common. Like the Bachelor reality shows are only filmed in rented estates- which everyone knows- for the filming. I'm sure I do not know "the deep dive" on this issue. I do know one thing for sure. I have seen TH-camrs who look like they are sitting on a couch in a really nice room. Not only is the couch on a green screen, but the entire room- or the background seen, is somehow created digitally. It's a watered down version of Deep Fake. You can google the term Deep Fake and news articles come up about this new technology. I am in no way a "tech person" and have no first hand experience using the tactics I have mentioned.Thanks for your informational videos- keep up the good work!
Omg. These ads are the WORST. I'll be drifting off listening to TH-cam and BAM crazy scam millionaire scheme ad
Lindy Martin Kim no way! They’re everywhere!
How does this video not have a million views? This is something important that people need to know, I get these ads all the time. Thank you so much for all your research.
Thanks for this video! I really appreciate how in-depth your research is. Also appreciate your cat and facial expressions lmao
Thank you, LOVE CHATTING WITH YOU SO MUCH!!! So glad you enjoy my content and cheesy sense of humor 😻💜💜
Doing the world a service. I was in a bad place a few years ago and looking for anything to get out of the hole I was in. I’d get so close to signing up for these courses and then do my own research to see anyone could do it. Then I realized if anyone can do it and get rich, everyone would do it. And I’d back out. Didn’t understand how this could be legal and I think it’s a matter of time.
Ever since I subscribed to anti-mlm content I get these types of ads. I have flagged them as inappropriate but because there are so many they just change the face but never the message.
Irene Torkel Good idea. We all need to report them.
YES GREAT IDEA!!! I wish I would have encouraged more to do that in this video, that’s definitely a good way to help prevent these guys from spreading their “message”
I heard "don't believe me?"
My brain: "Ask the dishes."😑😑😑
At the one minute mark when you show the reddit post about guru scams, it was interrupted by an ad for the exact same guru scam that is featured in the reddit post. Perfect timing.
CleEa WTFthatsnotmyname NO WAY! Lol I kept getting that ad and I felt it fit perfectly with the reddit posts’ “narrative” lol!
At 8:35 i like how an ad popped up for me soon as you said your name lol
I love how much your humor is shining through! Been following your videos for a few months and you are killing it 💙
Beyond Body Goals THANK YOU! In the beginning I was so nervous recording but I’m starting to become more and more of myself on camera!
Cruel World Happy Mind I can tell!
I am so glad you're pointing this out... I also suspect some similar things go on in the coaching world. In that realm, coaches are always paying big bucks to coaches a level or two above them, and given what I've heard from others in the industry it seems to me that unless you're a top notch marketer and put a LOT of time and energy into it, the big money is coaches who train others to become coaches. I've seen a lot of similar manipulative marketing tactics coming from them. Not that I think coaching is inherently an illegitimate industry, some really do excellent and valuable work. But because there is no prerequisite to call yourself a coach, there are also many who are scammy with super inflated prices. I suspect the biggest earners just make money off of training other coaches while projecting a fake rich lifestyle or keeping new coaches on the hook forever with business coaching.
OMG, I was hoping that one of the anti-MLM channels were going to talk about this at some point. I thought that it was probably something not as well known in this community given that its tactics are a bit more subtle, and also has the tendency to prey a little bit more on men.
Cuckoo Phendula totally agree!! Glad others are as interested in this topic as me! 💜
WOW! You started exposing these scammers 4 years before Coffeezilla!
I'm impressed! Great job!!
Also, people under 25 don't yet have a fully developed prefrontal cortex, so not only do they have less of an ability to think critically and assess potential consequences, but it's also much easier to "program" certain behaviors into their brains because of the fact that they're still actively developing. So fucked up
No way! Thank you for sharing that info!... yes that is SO messed up 😤
You're also doing/have completed a psych degree. I can tell 😊
@@LittleMissLion in the process for my BA 🙂 you too?
@@kilibubblecata6266 presently in the second year of my bachelor's degree. In Australia, though. :)
