    I learned who Andrew Tate was through some of my sixth-grade boys. Looked him up and Kevin Samuels popped up in YouTube feed later. Kevin Samuels did it better.

    The entire self help industry is a scam.

    Any business that sells expertise on how to get laid and wealthy quick is by default a scam.

    I can get why 13 year olds would like this guy because he sounds like a guy who never outgrew middle school.

    the video does a pretty good job. The course are tough by morons, he isn't involved, the content is completely different from the promises.

    basic scam stuff.

    Speaking for myself and not @fchowd0311 I would not go so far to say all self-help things are scams but a lot are.

    so many of these pitches with a guy on a yacht, mansion etc.. saying “I can show you the secrets to get a life like this!” Are absolutely scams and is one of the biggest problems with our culture. They prey upon envy, greed and even grievance (“you know how those fat cats got rich? Well I will show you how you can get their wealth for yourself!”). Most of the time they are asking for your trust and your money to follow their “program” with it often being a pyramid scheme or just an outright money grab.

    The scam is that he has a philosophy to sell.

    And oh yeah Hustleversity?

    The video is self-explanatory.
