How to subvert subversion? Dr. Yuri Bezmenov. I shall spend time on reading some material. The title is subversive.

Amen to all of this, it’s also true of Instagram, Twitter etc. Someone figures out how to gain followers by talking about gaining followers then sells you a course on gaining followers. It’s become a bizarre circular MLM scheme.

You're making great points, and I wonder if you have any articles where you tear apart corporate America. I bet you could make similarly strong points about _most_ kinds of capitalism :-)

Great Post. It is a survivor bias taken to the extreme - just because they make 6 or 7 figure without a real product or service, everybody else should try it.

Well said. Marketing advice without a product implies that people would buy literally anything if only the marketing were strong enough. Totally false and skips the entire "product must be valuable" side of the equation.
