Egocentric thieves irritate me, as you can tell!

I'm going a bit out of character for a minute, but I gotta get this off my chest!

I have been watching YouTube for an hour or so a day to pick out nuggets and learn more things. I don't do TV so that's the way I burn the entertainment value...sorta !

Everytime I do that I see the same guy selling his same crap over and over in the ads! The guy must have had so much ad money he purchased YouTube or something!

The guy talks about giving value over and over before you ever ask for anything in return, as he speaks from his $1000.00 seminars! And it's not just him, the internet is full of snake oil salesmen just like him!

Fact is I have only listened to about three people who practice what they preach!

Don't listen to these creeps !

Their bottom line is their bottom line ! NOTHING MORE!

People line up for their turn at the gallows to hear his message and others like him and get nothing in return! It's simply the same thing as all the fake $37 scams you see online. It's just a higher stakes scam! Don't fall prey to their smooth talking advertisements and blah, blah, blah!

You will get more value right here at Wealthy Affiliate than these punks can ever give !

Put their money where their mouth is !

If they want to "Give away value over and over" as they claim, why not give that value to a single mother who is trying to feed her kids and keep her electricity on? Teach her how to do what they do, maybe? Easy, she doesn't have any money! Instead he gives away his value at seminars that people pay $1000 to learn how they can purchase his product!

Don't buy it folks ! People stake their hopes and dreams on snake oil every day and lose both!

And when you arrive where your goals have lead you one day soon, help someone else who is less fortunate do the same thing! If you do that, you will be more wealthy than these smug little fakes will ever dream of!

Rant over! I feel a little better!

Best of success to you all!

Mike

Where did we go wrong? Isnt it up for us to do our research on these slick sales man.
People are so quick to open up to these guys and hand them over their wallets. That is why they stick around. If people would reject them they would go away.

People fall prey to these creeps because they want to grasp onto hope and the sales pitch and Lamborghini photos substantiate their claims of big money!
You can rent a 3 year old Lambo for $1200 per day!

Yeah...I’ve “been there done that” got the t-shirt, yada yada.
I like it better here!
Thanks Mike.

At Wealthy Affiliate it's real!
Kyle and Carson never make promises because different people put in different amounts of work!

Lol loved your rant Mike.
Its because you care that these people tick you off.
Thank you for your caring heart and high values.

Di :)

Slick and slippery is the snake oil stuff. Better value at WA.
I loved that, Mike

Thanks Suzay!
I don't usually get that bent out of shape!
It's not my nature. But this stuff irritates me !

Best of success to you Suzay!

Whatever happened to morals and ethics in this business. These guys think it's fun to rob people with their eyes wide open in the daytime. Thanks for your post, I totally embrace your rant!

But this is the way we are able to sort out the ethical from the unethical. Then we just ignore them. Being ignored is not what they want. Down below Felecia said it well - Street Jungle. So we need to pay attention, read up on things and research, we get so we can spot the unethical anywhere. This is the reason I so appreciate Kyle, Carson and Jay - they always take the high road. Agreed?

Thank you for your comment.

Thanks my friend !
I'm glad people took it the way I mean!
It's not my nature to rant! LOL

Mike

This doesn’t happen to be the ‘give me 30 seconds and I’ll show you how this unemployed student made $100,000,000 a month selling shampoo online’ guy does it?

LOL. This one is even humorous.

Thanks for sharing. Great rant Mike

But... people in our circle should operate according to the rules of the Jungle. There are Lions in the Street! Only the Strong Survive

In business speak, does that mean "do your due diligence"?

Yes! YES

And then there's the young guy claiming to film from the Bahamas stating he has made millions on the internet with his secret. There is lots of very worthwhile info on YouTube; we just need to tune those guys out and Skip Ad as soon as possible.

Great rant, Mike. As someone who has been stung once or twice can tell ya, they're always saying "But wait! There's more! Yeah, more scammers! (Rant in response to your rant over!)

Thanks Carol!
I'm glad you folks agree!
I was worried about the rant. It's not really my nature.
But just tired of these creeps ripping people off!
Mike

I know what you mean, Mike. Ranting isn't really in my nature, either, but sometimes it's necessary, I think.
