This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch. - บันเทิง

EDIT: Jake Tran responded:
TL;DR: "I apologize for nothing :) Stay dangerous."
Full community post:
"What did you expect out of a channel that teaches you how to be evil lol.
In all seriousness, I put my heart and soul into making free premium videos.
Every sponsor on this channel helps fund this channel so we can keep upping the quality and quantity. You're not gonna be the right fit for every sponsor on this channel - and that's okay. So if you don't like the sponsors, skip the ads, don't buy from them, or unsubscribe from the channel, and let the people who are a right fit for the sponsor use them.
But I genuinely love and appreciate all of my sponsors because they allow me to do all of this for you guys. And most importantly, I love all of you more than you could ever realize. You’ve all changed my life in every way possible.
Lots of cool stuff coming as usual.
We're gonna push forward as usual.
I apologize for nothing :)
Stay dangerous."
There are actually MORE examples but this video would've run long. For those curious:
Promoting "JAM TOKEN" (a crypto now down 90%) in a video called "Smh. I can't believe people fell for this."
"Bitclout" crypto promotion (deleted video).
Broh, just drop your coin\NFT already I trust you with my life.
@@julianfelipebautistavelez1636 same
Ah Bitclout lol had forgot about this bs
Everything aside, I wanted someone to roast his video title and thumbnails, perfectly done. So happy
Hey man. Just want to say I think you are doing a good job. Love your videos
I think there is an editing error in this video. It cuts off right before you were going to tell me where to put all of my money. I trust you because you pointed out the previous scam.
omg nice to see a crossover between 2 great channels
legaleagle can you please tell me why eagles are legal im deathly allergic
Ha ha!
Crossover when??
Oh sorry my internet cut out, I'm currently hiding in the Cayman islands and you wouldn't believe how bad the WiFi is. I'll tell you next week which NFT to buy.
"Just because someone is calling out scams doesn't make them trustworthy"
Thank you Coffeezilla. I been saying this all along.
hmmm coffeezilla also calls out scams.....
@@pvic6959 maybe i should havent pumped the Zilla stock
Literally every Ponzi uses this psychology weakness, they always warn their victims to “be aware of scammers”
@@pvic6959 but he doesn't sell anything 🙄
Ohho
I love Jake Tran he describes scams and then checks if you were paying attention
it's like a miserable teacher calling you out in high school
😂
like at that point its half your fault half his
1:06 As soon as I hear somebody use the term "your hard earned money", I just know they are trying to scam me.
Why would they say that anyway?
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 to make it like they value your money , they dont , they want your money
"he's right! i _do_ work hard!"
@@scslre Yeah.. And you deserve so much more than what you got! Which is why I am presenting you this opportunity.
@@fortazerty So in a way they do value your money. Enough to try and swindle you out of your money.
never really thought you’d talk about this guy, his content used to be so much better and his whole community’s been turning on him these last couple months.
I mean he was already kinda fishy, with that whole video praising conman Belfort
I feel you. What turned me off is when he got involved in the bitclout scam and made a condescending "response" video, taking no ownership. I stopped watching after that
how is the community turning? Is he deleting majority of the comments?
@@basedpatriotLTlast time i watched one of his videos where he ended up trying to pull a scam (so like 4-5 months ago), the comments were filled with people calling him out. he may be mass deleting comments now, not sure. but his behavior has definitely been turning old time fans away.
@@basedpatriotLT views
I was already distrustful of Jake when he promoted his own course where you can 100% guaranteed get a remote work job... in the same video where he was calling out fake gurus that sell their get rich quick courses.
That was my last video of his after maybe a hundred or so. I had to call it quits.
it's almost poetic
It IS poetic, I think everyone is missing the joke. It's just too perfect. It's basically a quiz at the end of the lesson. He warns you about the scam. Then presents the same scam to an educated audience. Anyone who decides to purchase is a well informed investor or a complete moron who would lose their money anyway. I actually like it!
damn, see, i never fucking noticed cause i always skipped the ads lol, especially if it was anything connected to nfts, banking i dont even know what else, i just didnt even listen to them
@@Inspectorzinn2 It's not a quiz. He actually makes money off these. Which is the definition of a scam. People just don't mind it because they like his content. But if a generally disliked creator would do these sponsors, let's face it, he would have been cancelled ages ago.
Also worth mentioning that the “source” he used with rug pulling is actually a genius idea
1. Antagonize the industry to keep in line with a growing distrust with the crypto business
2. Promote your own business that promises to change things
3. Profit
It's a proven psych tactic. Acknowledging scams or mistakes nudges people to trust what you say next, even if you're about to scam them!
Where im from that's what they call a cult
@@patoanimations420*Ponzi Scheme
Looks like Yotta just rug pulled their customers and the ownership might be running
Let's be honest, if you're going around calling out scams, you have the potential to be the greatest scam artist, because you have built up a sense of trust and authority amongst people. It's cunning as hell but very clever aswell.
And immoral as hεll
Cleverly evil. Also very fitting with your PFP/username
Clever? It's stupid, idiotic, moronic, Jake had something much better when his community trusted him.
Just like that time you built a church to be more inclusive, but over time, slowly added more communist rhetoric that kept everyone, including yourself, in a constant state of paranoia in an isolated jungle comune.
last sentence is bars man, lit🔥
It's kinda hard to believe that jake used to make high quality, non-clickbait content just a year ago. To me the point of no return was the bitclout situation he got himself involved in.
Right? I found him originally based on his documentary about the Yakuza or something, and I thought it was a good video and he kept making more like that. Then his video titles changed to click bait crap and I had to unsub.
He's been doing this longer than a year. I've been saying this a long time now.
Same. It was interesting at first but it got really click-baity to the extreme degree and reaaally hilariously shady.
@@preverthevamp true bruh, his titles used to be clear and to the point now it's like "WOW this is so EVIL (disgusting)" lmao
@@emmanuelchavez7748 It sidesteps lazy people like you. *Go past the title and listen to the vid.* His observations are legit.
Its exactly like those ads that expose a certain aspect, and then try to get you to buy THEIR "Trustworthy" one.
Knew he wasn't legit. Man would act like he was in danger and that he's being tracked but somehow manages to have a sponsorship every video
You don't get yourself in danger from paraphrasing articles you found online lmaoo
jake is every middle class socialist's mind but is just larping
@@nghekkkk828 😆
hes got an asshole vibe tbh, i knew something sus was up
@@nghekkkk828 he literally says he is a capitalist, wdym socialist
Jake is the embodiment of “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”
He's never been a hero. There's always this off putting feeling in his videos I can't explain.
Bro, he’s a purple haired 22yr old🤦♂️
Rule of thumb~> don’t follow the advice of individuals… who aren’t even old enough to rent a car
@@Praneeth_- I noticed a change when he became more industrial. Seems like he hired a bunch of people and started pumping out videos like crazy and then branching out into other businesses. His sponsors are sus as hell, and he's even went into complete detail on Flagrant 2 about how he studied youtube and learned how to manipulate the algorithm and all that stuff. He makes the videos he does because he found a niche market on youtube that he could fill and totally admits this so I don't think he's as passionate about the topics he speaks on as people might think. In the end he's trying to get rich and he's even admitted as much.
@@Praneeth_- I'm glad I'm not the only one that got a weird vibe I got from his videos. I think it might've been the "I'm an expert on everything" tone that he does when talking 😂
I did get a weird vibe on some of the videos, but the content was so interesting that I just dismissed it as being another “quirky” TH-camr, the world is full of weirdos nowadays. But I noticed the clear contradiction between denouncing some shit and later promoting his own version of it, so I just stopped watching. Dude sold out on his first chance
When JakeTran started hiring new people and depending just on true crime content, I knew once popular enough he'll try to do shady stuff, it's sad but not many can get hold of themselves once the numbers get really big. To think I supported this guy does make me feel guilty to a degree
Classic "If I do it, I will do it well unlike THEM" mentality.
Hiring people always fucks shit up
Dang it I just started watching his stuff too so it's annoying to see that he's a scammer.
I quit watching that crap when i noticed moon and a few others just bounce copies of scripts/content
I unsubcribed his youtube channel like a year ago when he promoted that bitclout. I was a big fan back then, even bought some of his sponsored thing like "increase your mind powder".
The guy was always feeling sketchy (I'm a face person, I tend to read faces and I just dont trust Jake Tran) . After the bitclout thing, I unsubscribed and never went back.
Scamming people pretending to be on their side, exposing the heist is really a next level of sinister. Or dumb. But I don't think he is dumb.
Reminds me of a time I saw Jamie Oliver on TV saying how you must grow your own herbs "and not buy the shit they sell in the supermarkets". Then it cuts to and ad break and the 1st ad up theres Jamie Oliver again talking about Waitrose and how fresh their herbs are :)
Tbf Waitrose is the supermarket of the aristocracy, they've probably got fresher herbs than lidl
im sure jake is aware of what hes doing and his final video will be "the biggest scam on youtube" where he goes into detail of how he built rapport with his community to continually scam them again and again
Ah yes i could see him resorting to such tactics. He should be desperate. We will see
@@tommydavidwalker2445 tf are you even talking about? If he makes that video, it would be called a last laugh. How tf would that make him desperate???
This TH-camr is EVIL (spoiler: Me)
And he would say that it was a social experiment of some kind in the same video combined with more vague/arbitrary terms and sentences to avoid legal consequences. Boom
As someone who used to enjoy his content I like to think that this is what'll happen, he'll make one last video explaining in detail the whole thing and then just disappear. I wouldn't even be mad if this were to happen
The moment I stopped taking him seriously was when his video on NFTs was sponsored by a company that told you the best and most upcoming cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
It's a service that does what it advertises. You take the risk or you don't. People are so sensitive...
same here
@@SasKP think if it like this. if you just have a long conversation about why you don't like beef and it's effects on the environment, you're gonna look hypocritical if you immediately head over to texas roadhouse
Same exact video
@@heliveruscalion9124 Ok.
NFTs are a scam but you can make money out of them if you're smart and have the right tools.
Most Crypto bots are a scam but Pionex does not take a monthly subscription, it's a pretty good service. If you're scared, take your money out, crypto is not a guaranteed way to make money.
On Yotta you can play the lottery just by having money on your account, it's nowhere near close to traditional lottery.
Look at the bigger picture, don't be a sheep.
What a madlad, basically finds a sponsor, then tells everyone their entire industry is a scam
I have avoided watching this channel since the Kurzegast drama, i think i missed a gem
Just discovered you and Coffee Break are different people, damn
They don't
I remember being completely befuddled when I watched his vid where he rightfully made good points and then proceeded to immediately ignore all of them to shill the same business he just demonised 😭
Same I was like is bro being serious right now 😭😭
I was like he gotta be trolling 😂
i remember reading somewhere he picks them on purpose, if you're smart you'd realize its supposed to make you not buy into the sponsor.
@@amp4105 Exactly, but TH-cam communities are so used to infantilizing a very global 15-35 demographic, it's mindboggling. I didn't need to be told that at 15, and I certainly don't need it in my 30s. Who else is making zero use of their critical thought? That's what I'm left wondering.
He's good at pointing it out because he's involved in them...big brain moment 🤷
The irony of Jake’s ads are hilarious. Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between the ad vs what he’s exposing 😂😂😂
He stared too long into the proverbial abyss.
Aye ruslan! Didn't expect to see you here. Love your videos
I swear, SO many times I couldn't tell specifically when the topic stopped and where the ad started because of how seamless the transitions are and especially because the ads are straight up the exact same thing as the subject of the video lmao
I started to skip through the materials and I'm usually left with 2/3 of the original.
and then he got sponsored by BetterHelp and I was done listening to this guy
It’s pretty sad how shameless people are and then try to get others to trust them
Well when you need money, you'll do anything to get it!
I MAKE 1225% RETRUN ON CUNNLING WOLF SOCIETY... THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake just combined lesson and homework in one video, that’s why he was very accurate within the advertising XD
There is genuinely no way Jake doesn't know the game that he is playing. He has created so much of his channel around talking about unethical practices in various businesses that there is no way he himself is not aware of the inherent shadiness in the crypto "services" he is advertising. Not only that, but his audience will have their guard down because his channel is built on a reputation of "exposing" shady companies/ businesses.
i lost it when a few weeks ago, he said this is the time to invest in crypto while the market was collapsing.
It's the perfect grift.
He doesn't care.
He saw how much money all of these scummy practices made and couldn't help himself.
He calls himself a capitalist . Nothing more needed.
Honestly I'm so glad that you made this, I noticed the endless "evil this" and "evil that" and always with a promotion of that same exact evil but with a new brand, seems like Jake is the Evil one here.
Evil? Bitch please
Hypocrites sure but I’m still subscribed due to his videos on certain topics. Say whatever you want about me, just shine my boots please.
You guys are too harsh on Jake... Did he ever call himself Jesus or claim to be righteous.
If after watching his video and you still go ahead to use the advertised products, then it's on you.
Just take it as he's scamming the product's advertiser rather than you
What do u expect, He's just a cynical buffoon!
Never trust people who color their hair like toothpaste.
@@joeadeleke no he’s scamming his fanbase. That money is coming out of the people who supports him pockets. And if jake himself calls the people evil when they do the exact same thing he does then by his own definition he’s evil as well.
Man, I've been watching the guy since he was a small channel.... He even used to respond to every comment... His message about hard work back in the day resonated with me, sad to see him like this
I really love this kind of online scam journalism, there needs to be more accountability online. But I hope this guys has a team and some lawyers, cause criminals love to sue (and dox and who knows what else). Be safe friend.
I unsubbed from JakeTran when he made the nft video exposing nfts, and then plugged his nft at the end of the video.
Same I was so confused
@@_jakefair me too. So frustrated too when I realized how much of a scumbag he was, as he actually could make some nice content when he tried.
it felt like a parody
I still had some hope about him but he does not make is easier
I unsubbed when he made the Russian war videos.
If Coffeezilla ever goes bad, we truly would have lost all hope. Good job internet detective 🕵 ☕
Everyone has their time to go.. prepare yourself to continue the charge.
A few wrong steps and any YT career can end easily.
Stop blindly idolizing other people.
It would be the biggest betrayal since Krusty sponsored the Canyonaro.
As much as I love Coffee it's usually the goodie two shoes like him that are most sus behind closed doors lmao
Coffeezilla getting rid of scam-busting competition. Smart
Seeing Yotta on this after the newest Zilla video is goddamn hysterical.
I've been watching Jake since he had 10K and its extremely sad to see him turn into whatever the hell he's become.
Out of curiosity, what was he like before? I just started watching him the other day and honestly just use him as background noise😬
Being a "rich influencer" got to him. Give a ton of money and people's attention to any young 20 year old and sit back and watch themselves self destruct and hurt plenty of people along the way.
@@Jigglexphysics A lot of his older videos had the theme of a pseudo-guide on how to replicate something that happened in the real world. An example would be the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone video.
I dont
Fame and money exposes people
Shows their true nature
Most of the time they say it corrupts you but nah if you really care you would not go low and trick your own audience and be aware that you are while trying to hide in on plane sight
I know right, I've also been watching him when he was making videos without advertising scams... Sad to see him choose this path.
2:28 You're 100% right. Jake has no idea of what a trading bot even does, and has definitely never traded himself. Who sees "0 transactions" and thinks, "yeah, that's legit, great bot"?
I'm sure Jake understands that. He is counting on the stupidity of the masses.
This is what happens when you drop a Computer Science degree and think you can become an expert in any tech field
My understanding of crypto is surface level and hastily cobbled together and even I raised an eyebrow at "0 transactions". Basically means the bots done nothing right?
Every financial goal requires patience, dedication and consistent spirit knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world. both NFT, real estate, Gold and Crypto is positively changing people's lives. I stopped panicking about the market the very moment I started working with Josef Dennis last year, his confidence and skills is on a maximum level…..
I never had the opportunity to benefit until i meet Josef Dennis. that's when i started earning real good at first I invested 3BTC and earned 10.5BTC in just 2months of trading
I want to make good profits and learn how to stop loss..
How do I connect with him ??
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Josef Dennis support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams.🙏🙏💯
Scammer.
I feel he's deliberate because he finds it ironic
that’s what I thought!
i feel like making a video about why you shouldn't gamble, and then putting in a lottery sponsor in it kinda just tells people "hey, don't actually buy this thing that is paying us to advertise"
@@yikes3049 It really went over these people's heads.
it's deliberate because it weeds out anyone with a brain that will not buy into scams
Jake is like "NFTs are bad, but I also have my own NFT"
or when he said: it's time to invest in crypto. While the market was collapsing and new already reported how bad it was
He literally does shit like that 🤣
"my NFT is the true NFT"
Jake's "built different" in his own mind
I think this is the guy that ends a lot of his videos with “stay dangerous out there.” At least he sticks to his motto
Stay safe out there :)
Yeah I thought I was a stupid motto when he started saying it
"Stay dumb out there"
Yo, Bagel. Love your videos and the food you're named after ❤️
You watch horror business videos :)
What if Jake is actually scamming his sponsors and in his videos he’s literally warning us not to buy from his sponsors? 🤔
I will never understand how so many people got scammed into thinking NFTs were a good idea
desperation stemming from the instability and corruption of the regulated financial system
Holy shit, this is surreal seeing two of my favorite youtubers in one video. As someone who watched Jake Tran very early on, I can confirm he's lost his way...or maybe this was his plan all along. It was a question of having enough of a subscriber count that he thought he could get away with it. He has informative stuff but at the end of the day, it should only be seen as entertainment. He also had several that were so surface level like the videos on Ukraine. Reminds me of how Moon fell off, too.
I think jake is doing it ironically,no one can be this shameless, i mean, jake cant be this shameless xD
@@unknownegghead3105 With enough money anyone will change, Jack is not an exception.
He likely saw where the $$ is and switched to marketing them single sponsorship is likely 100k+ and they can easily be 10x the $$ from TH-cam
Moon? Really? How come?
I stopped watching when he did the ukraine video
I stopped watching Jake a few months ago after I had been watching him religiously all though the pandemic. My only reasoning was that I felt like I was being slowly manipulated and something just didn't feel right anymore.
I just remember at one point he was involved in like a crypto scam or rug pull or something. Then he apologized in such a "it wasnt on purpsose guys, im the good guy " kinda way. But I just couldn't shake that manipulative feeling I got. I felt like I had to stop watching him because I loved and trusted him so much already and realized that's when I was far too susceptible to what he stated and I was taking it as fact.
I got the exact same feeling bro. deadass I had to stop watching him cause he was skewing my view of the world. It was like he all of a sudden I thought the entire world was corrupt and broken and everything was either rigged or just plan evil. Alot of fear mongering I've stopped and now I see the world in a better light
I slowly lost interest in his videos after the NFT thing, then he just started naming his videos in very clickbaity style like "I can't beleive..." stuff like that and I just don't know what the video is about because of those stupid titles. I would just cringe looking at those video titles 🤦♂
You got way, way too invested into this youtube channel
Same here. His video titles also piss me off. Its like every single big company is "THE MOST EVIL BUSINESS IN THE WORLD!!"
One thing I realized men only look up to other men as their role models. Watch female creators as much as male creators and you’ll have a widen range of perspective and insight. Lots of male influencers thrive off of their male audience because they’re easier to manipulate
the last 5 seconds gave me a good chuckle thanks
"DON'T GET SCAMMED BY X! Get scammed by Y instead, much better."
I used to watch this guy a lot. While the video he makes were pretty solid in their own right, it was always weird that he was exposing and showing the things he talked about as Evil, yet promoted really sketchy things that in most of our eyes, can be considered 'evil'.
Plus the fact that a ton of his videos say 'This person/thing is so EVIL.' or 'Wow. We're gonna die.' is really dumb, least to me. I get trying to make the name interesting but it gets stale after the 5th one.
I noticed he started clickbaiting a lot a few months ago and unsubbed. He turned to the dark side in a very short amount of time.
After the sugar industry video, I thought he was cool, as the information he provided was solid. But then after see three video names that were just the word EVIL in different contexts. I started to get skeeved out. And the crypto stuff was an automatic red flag.
I’m debating unliking the sugar video
Weird how I liked his videos at the start of the year. Now his voice annoys me.
@@phraker5709 I've never subbed to him, thankfully, it was more him appearing on my feed and the video looked interesting. Then I began to notice the sponsors and got confused.
It's fine to have sponsors, it's just kinda goofy when your sponsor is the type of thing you're exposing.
It's just recycled general information with modern dynamic editing........
holy shit i never thought i would live to see the day where coffeezilla diss on jake lol
Same lmao
Me either...can't say its undeserved though. Jake really fell off
Jake has made content I've quite liked, but had made it clear a long time ago that he's not necessarily above doing shady things or being influenced. At least from the point within the past couple of years when I first saw him.
Why? Jake sucks.
@@PoeticMachineDreams yeah a feel year back I can recall most of his vids aren't just clickbaity scam riddled shitfest, I guess that's what too much fane does to a mf
Jake Tran is a real life grown up Butters.
Honestly love how you expose these people. I be trying to tell people not to believe in the sponsorships that these high level TH-camrs be promoting because it’s pretty obvious and most people have the TH-camr 🥜 so far down their throats that they believe everything and anything the TH-camrs say.
Oh how we fall, as an early supporter of Jake's, it's nothing but sad to see how low he's fallen. It's like they say, you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself on Coffeezilla.
That's the thing that they say about the thing!
Good one
He was always scummy and clickbaity, he just used to do a good enough job at it that a lot of people didn't notice. Now he's getting lazy and the bad parts are getting more obvious.
unfortunate, but hes making bank and hustling. Thats how it goes, i wouldve done the same
The worst part is that he had this all planned when he started his channel.
DUDE I always had the exact same thought about the guy. He makes amazing videos but then it's like... wait, why are you trying to sell me the same scam we just discussed was bad? Why is it okay when you do it? I'm so glad you decided to cover this!
I haven’t watched his videos but Graham said in a podcast that he works insanely hard. Haha
The irony of this guy calling out scams and promoting the same one 😂😂
@@NickOloteo graham is a great scammer too people just blindly follow the both of them
Honestly, I so habitually skipped over the inline advertising that I never watched a single Jake Tran advertisement. I had no idea. With that, I will say that his documentaries are very interesting.
I remember when I used to watch his videos and then get confused at the sponsor segment like "wait... isn't this sponsor exactly as shady as what the entire video just exposed?"
You gotta somehow give the guy credit. He boldly advertises the exact things he denounces. And I'm pretty sure he gets people to buy in.
Well that sucks about Jake. I found the evil business history fascinating, but never did stick around to watch whatever sponsor he was doing so I never noticed. Don't worry though, I'll buy whatever you tell me to!
Same here; I liked the history of it to know about the questionable things that companies and people have done.
The ads are like partway through the vids lol
Same here, I usually just skip the sponsor parts of TH-cam videos and enjoyed his content a fair bit otherwise. Even then, if you look at the comments of his more recent videos, you can see his fans noticing a drop in quality and critiquing the click bait-y titles compared to his older content
@Baxi Tabaxi the poor practices that these companies committed is still apart of history. Propaganda isn’t the correct terminology by anymeans unless their is clear evidence to support the propaganda claims.
*HISTORY
Just because he's a scammer doesn't mean the stuff he talked about in the videos, aside from the ads, was wrong.
All the videos I've seen were pretty accurate with other sources I've read. Some errors but nothing I can think of that was huge, that's honestly why it's so disappointing
Yes thank you coffeezilla!!! I knew I couldn't be alone in thinking this was weird lol. This is why i get my business horror stories from magnates media and my anti crypto bro horror stories from you lol
Magnates media is a legend.
I watch Magnates Media too bro! That's so cool
i got my business horror stories from ColdFusion TV
@@k_kubes CF's videos felt cozy tho regardless of the stories. Good videos from Dagogo, even watch it when I eat.

“Brb evilmaxxing rn”
-Jake Tran
The irony is that Jake's early videos were about "how to get rich doing (X evil thing)". And we all thought when he would narrate them in second person, that it was an artistic choice and that he was being ironic. But what if he was actually being serious?
Also I agree the laser eyes and clickbait has been getting worse and worse.
The video about Chile was as I call "point of no return"
And the Darwin Award goes to...
@@HelamanGile who died?
I used to enjoy Jakes content but I also called this downfall when I first found him. He was always talking about being “self made”, his lessons and the god awful amount of shilling products. It was ridiculous at the time and has only gotten worse.
the thing that gave it away was when he says he reads atlas shrugged
@@Okuni_ lmao hahaha that's such a dog shit book
I finally noticed the cookie of the light through the blinds shining onto your shirt … man, your production values are crazy good! 💕
Incredibly important video. I'm an appreciator of Jake Tran's work bcs he talks about a lot of important history that can generally be hard to find in the same quality or ease of access, but without the base knowledge of how shitty these schemes actually are it makes a lot of sense that people are falling into a sort of parasocial trust and then taking these "calculated risks" because of this trust. It's really shitty stuff, hopefully a lot of his more gullible fans stumble into this
It’s like he is testing his fan base
I love how he also claims his members only videos are better than going to business school Lmao
They aren’t
@@TheJackOfAllTrades777
Business school is not equal to schools my friend. Business schools are college departements
Nightdocs! You are the goat!
@@TheJackOfAllTrades777 surely in regards to business and mathematics formal education would be a great way to start
Programmer Schools may not be perfect but this is why teens or young adults should’ve gone to economics class in highschool or business school in college instead of watching TH-camrs like Jake. As a teen, it’s kinda sad that teenagers are being manipulated and raised by these people on the internet.
"Just because someone is calling out scams that doesn't make them trustworthy"
In Jake's case it's more accurate to say "Just because you know something is bad that doesn't mean you can't profit from it"
spoken like true capitalist, the guy is true to his words haha
It's like a channel to learn how to become an Internet criminal
You can't pay bills with charity
Coffeezilla will always stay legit
@@devincharlvanvuuren6194 I dont trust him lmao. You shouldn't trust anyone
I always figured the sponsorships aligned with the scams he's describing was basically a joke - he's describing exactly what they're doing, then taking their money & spouting the script. Because it's ridiculously brazen if not.
Not that it's ethical if it is a joke, but I always came away from the videos feeling like if you listened to the sponsorship & wanted to purchase their thing, you really weren't paying attention.
Jup u got it right. I think a big part of the tran project is to show how much exploitation and capitalism is linked, but without judgement and sometimes encouragement.
Exactly idk how people don't get that
Its still a scam, even as joke. He makes thousands thru theese scammy sponsors. quite literally definition of scam.
@@neutronshiva2498 he is not scamming he is promoting scams but because he is exposing the same scam in the video no one is going to get scammed
This right here
Man. This makes me sad. His videos were genuinely informative and I always looked to them to start getting to learn about the world of business but knowing he promotes these kinds of things is depressing, especially since it means we can no longer really tell if he's being legitimate or not when he talks about certain topics.
This makes me sad. When I first found him, he was a small TH-camr who still put out very high level work. His research was thorough, I was able to fact check him pretty well, and it was incredibly interesting on top of that. He also has done a great job of calling out some really nefarious things. But gradually, it seems like he's becoming the very thing he swore to destroy.
If you don't think that's tragic, I don't know what to tell you.
It seems to be a common trait with popularity. Happened to all the classic TH-camrs... RayWilliamJohnson, H3H3, Leafy, Finebros, GradeA, countless others. They start out legit and go off the rails. Money corrupts, it seems. Lots of people selling their souls to the devil.
@@car_ventures what did leafy do
Really? I would check his sources and they were often from op-ed pieces or from conspiracy theory websites with no hard facts.
He sold out faster than Ricegum
Even when he was a small youtuber in the front scene, he was Kevin David's henchman on the back scene. He helped that fake guru to scam tons of people
"Hey, we're the Cunning Wolves, our defining traits are that we're devious and predatory." - That part really made me laugh, what an absurd name.
it’s so cringe
And people still bought it! That’s the thing, it seems so obvious and self-aware but mfs still threw their money at it!!!
it could be a parody
Hey, we're the Smart Cats, our defining traits are that we're intelligent and graceful.
No doubt their defense of it would be "Well we told you so but you didn't listen" lmfao
what an ending, described the obvious similarity and went out on it. I love your content man.
there was a no-loss lottery which works like this: people pool funds in DAI, collect interest on the pooled funds, and randomly award the interest to a user while everyone gets back their principal.
Always been suspicious of this guy glad he's been called out! As soon as these people realise how easy it is to manipulate their fans out of money it corrupts them! Nelk boys, Andrew Tate, Paul bros their all the same now. The next generation are becoming as corrupted in their business practices as the last. Amazing content as always!
It's not even that. He often either does poor/surface level research on his topics or misleads the audience to get his narrative by misusing numbers or dropping facts or events that don't fit his narrative. The video of his in which I realised Knoll's Law also applied to him was his video on the wealth of the Vatican. It was so badly done.
@@marlonbrando1631 That's his style, I guess that's what made him popular he just sums up information that is readily available to anyone already. Regardless of his narrative he needs to make better decisions about who he chooses to advertise to his fans. Practice what you preach or don't preach it in my opinion.
@@marlonbrando1631 Yeah I don't get where so many people are saying his content used to be good. It was never good. He always did this.
@@mechanomics2649 As I have stated above, it's Knoll's law, where you only notice faulty reporting on topics of your expertise while otherwise trusting the same reporting otherwise.
But an equally large factor is him being smart about fact manipulation. The initial data/facts he uses are mostly correct, but but often taken out of context and then manipulated to fit the narrative. Inconvenient facts on the other hands are quietly not mentioned or mentioned in such a way that the general viewer doesn't realise why they would be important.
Again, I want to point to the Vatican video as it's the easiest to show this manipulation on, as we are dealing with a well-known and well documented organisation here.
In the first three minutes of the video he repeatidly doesn't understand how the Catholic Church is organised, how the various national churches are (financially) independent from the Vatican, how wealth per nominal member in Australia cannot be used to reach conclusions about total wealth, and how wealth isn't equal to working capital. Like, the theoretical value of the centrally located churches's land is very high, but you will not be able to make money of it, because you cannot really sell the land. Same with the collection of expensive artworks collected over the centuries.
Naw I could see it between the lines Ik he was finessing
Since he started to do his „how to *insert evil exploitation crime*“ videos I somehow got the feeling that he himself would actually consider doing shady things.
He somehow portrayed a world view in which anyone at some point would end up capitalizing on a opportunity of making lots of money, even if it meant doing something shady. It was as if he knew we would „understand“ if he ended up going onto this path.
Yes!
He reminds me of that Moon guy. Now every video he makes is about the "most evil company"
@@yahooboi261 moon feels worse though, in my opinion
@@ahobbyist9520 was moon ever good?
His videos from a year ago were pretty good and I just ignored the ads. Now he's pumping videos every two days and they honestly suck. He doesn't even narrate them anymore and they feel rushed and repetitive. I remember I never skipped his videos and now I've skipped like 5 in a row because they're like boring Wikipedia articles. He should've sticked to 3 or 4 good videos a month and rejected the shady sponsors it looks like he has a very short-term view
Lol! the "Sneaky Snakes" or the "RugPull Rabbits". I lost it after a moment.
Also that ending coffee. Xd
Diabolical... this is why i ignore all commercials and sponsors.
You either die a hero, or live long to see yourself become a villain.
I hope that will never happen to coffezilla
No you don't, just dont do dodgy shit
did
@@Sagarock I sweeeear, I hope not
@@Rem-fg2yd Lmao, typo 🤣, imagine doing a hero.
Honestly there was some part of me that hoped he was ironically picking up shady sponsors on the same subject as the video to test the viewers lmao.
YES!
i can imagine him justifying it like that. *im jake tran im scamming the scammers lmao my subscribers aren't that dumb lmao im jake tran*
I literally could see between the lines ikkk he was finessing lmaooo
There is a meme in his community that "Jake is testing us".
@@pmr5336 don't really blame em lmao.
People really are stupid so he may as well make money off stupidity
I knew the ending was coming but it still hit so hard!
The dude makes videos exposing scams and then does a practical demonstration. That's surely an effective approach to educating people
Glad so many people realized Jake was shilling businesses nearly as bad as the companies he was criticizing.
His financial sponsors are allways suspicious.
I can't believe anyone ever thought that guy isn't a scammer.
Yeah but he has good content
he USED to have good content.
Since the beginning I had a problem even with his content. His quickly assembled "documentaries" rarely contain any real footage of anything what he says. Mostly movie scenes with voiceovers the definition of a fake documentary.
@@wintersoilder5676 Had* I used to watch his video but then he just started posting shit to make more money and put zero effort into the videos
@@ItsJoKeZ they’re still good but they are a bit different
Anyone else think it's heightened satire? As you said, it's suspiciously perfect that he pairs the sponsor to the subject every time.
When a youtuber has a sponsor my brain is so wired to completely mentally alt-tab that I never even registered what the sponsors of his videos were
I rewired my brain to ignore ads (and on TH-cam to skip ads asap and treat questionable ads as scams).
His videos give off hardcore "I took one semester of econ and read the spark notes of Kapital and now I'm an expert on political economy" vibes. Glad I'm not the only one put off by the guy, on top of all the scams obviously.
Mans talks about how bad the things that happened due to capitalism is and then bootlicks another corporation in the same video lmao. Like no rational systemic analysis
The thing is most videos actually addresses real issues. Its jus crazy he would make this choice
The usual, in this day an age:
“I read Whiskeypedia’s article on X, Y, Z and now I’m drunk on it, let me school you on the topic!”-
“I eat at Pizza Hut and Domino’s, now I’m in expert in Italian and European Union matters, foreign policy, international relations and history”--
“I had Taco Bell a few times, watch Disney’s Encanto and a Pablo Escobar documentary here on TH-cam, now I’m an expert in Latin America and Colombian history, politics, social and economic matters“--
And like that. This is how it is now, especially the younger and younger generations in countries like Gringolandia, and specifically communists, socialists, so-called progressives… etc. Those types that call us Latinos “latinx”, all high on whatever media they consume, whether it’s MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, CNN, Russia Today, Sputnik, The Young Turks, a pro BLM/Antifa/DSA channel… etc. They clearly know more about us foreigners, so-called minorities, and our countries, our history, politics… etc. than us👌🏻
He didn’t even read kapital because he still describes himself as a capitalist, and anyone who actually is willing to read kapital is probably already a socialist
@@Jrue774 lmao. He's not even a capitalist doe
Being a capitalist isn't bootlicking capitalism, it's owning capital. Which he doesn't
He's just a petty stock and crypto bro
I'm amazed by the straight face they can keep while throwing these BS out
I used to watch his video only during washing dishes time and my hands were tied so i just listen to him along. Then i started noticing his advertisement and sponsors related to the topics of the video. I wonder he was actually teaching informatics video and giving his “test lesson” or just straight up having a double edge video.
I remember one of Jake's ads about selling a plot of land which you don't get to own or something like that, since then i've always skipped his ads. Nice eye opener. Also Now Jake only does the introduction of his videos and seems like everything else is outsourced.
Drinking a delicious morning coffee while watch a morning Coffee video, now that's a start to a great day.
I am so glad someone is finally calling Jake Tran out. Ever since that deleted Bitclout video, he lost all the respect I had. When I confronted him a bunch of his fans insulted me and defended him. Jake really successfully built an armed of stupid fans who would eat out of his hand whilst buying into every scam he shills and at the same time, makes fun of these very people.
from my understanding, he spends the entire video telling you not to do something, and then you do it anyway?
@@kashmir883 No, he spends the entire video telling you vaguely not to do something but then pitches the same thing pretending it's different.
He's a piece of garbage.
@@kashmir883 reverse psychology
That's most of TH-cam. I honestly have a sneaking feeling that the world would be a better place if this site ceased to exist and and all the "content creators" were painlessly recycled into dogfood.
I don’t buy into the scam and nor does the vast majority of the audience
Only the real stupid fuckers do
5:15 I'm personally looking forward to Coffeezillas "Sneaky Snakes" and "Rugpull Rabbits" NFT projects
I initially thought he was trolling the sponsors
Coffeezilla is golden. So much positive growth in the last 3 years. As an influencer, I'd say he's planting the seeds of a more informed, more responsible generation of people. His latter years, he will probably be swamped with lifelong supporters.
Huh? That statement is a stretch my friend
That final De Niro face at the end tho 🤣
All these Gen Z scammers think they invented the pump-and-dump scheme. Please, younglings, you invented nothing.
What's worse about Jake is that his videos are actually good and impartial in their thematology and they do involve a lot of research. I remember a few really good about companies like goldman sachs and their connection to politicians.
But then he goes and does the same things he denounces in his video with no care in the world how hypocritical this makes him seem. He's the classical dude who shoves in your face how holy he is but he doesn't practice what he preaches.
I really love his videos and find them super informative but it's really hard to keep watching them with how he turned from being genuine into being so "evil"
@@tf2pyronoob156 The information he finds is on the Internet. It's not he is exposing somthing. There are a lot of amateur journalists who don't work hard to expose truth.
His content isn't the same anymore....click baity titles, voice actors and sketchy sponsors.
Well he never said he himself is a saint. If there is anything you should learn from his video, it's that in a capitalist society, one has to exploit and exploit he does.
@@tf2pyronoob156 All he does is google stuff and follow wikipedia links. The art is in compiling all that into a video that can hold your attention.
Don't leave me hanging like that coffee, I need the next hottest niche!
Yoooo never thought I'd see you here bro 😂
I guess the take from this is that no matter what information a person is providing, always keep your guard up if they try selling you something. If coffee tried to sell us an NFT project I would defo think twice regardless of how much I trust him😂
My man, epic as always, cheers 🥃
FINALLY, I stopped watching Jake Tran, especially once he started having other people narrate his videos. Am okay with youtuber having ads & sponsors like square space, raycon, etc etc but when the ad is anything web 3.0 I check out.
i can even look past raid shadow legends but like you said anything web 3.0 related gives me explosive diarrhea
@@damjanp7920 I honestly kind of like watching smaller youtubers get sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. It's almost like a rite of passage that they made it and they're no longer a super small youtuber.
@@typicalmountainbiker Raid Shadow Legends is made by a lottery company that feeds on children gambling. It's pure evil and TH-camrs should know about the company's shady existence.
The only one who can pull off, making contents out of sponsors mentionned above is the internet historian
@@typicalmountainbiker hahah kinda true
Loved watching Jake’s videos, lately they’ve been the same with clickbait titles and the ads are very noticeably scams so they’ve been leaving me with a bad taste. Don’t think I wanna watch him much longer lol. Glad you called him out
Same, his dumbass video titles have completely turned me off
I like the fact that jake Tran always puts what he condemns in the same video, it’s a kind of a situational irony. He gets the bag while putting down the sponsors😂🤝
This is such a interesting phenomenon. By that I mean: I love Jake’s videos and I have a SLIGHT memory of feeling like “wtf?” After an ad of his. But other than that I thought he was one of the good guys. Just shows how you can be blinded so easily if you like someone enough. Guess I have some work to do on myself.
Edit: Zilla you have awakened a dormant memory of mine where I watched a crypto video of his then after he pitched the SAME fucking thing I was bewildered. Ig I just forgot about and continued to watch his videos. Jesus.
