I feel like no matter how good your book is or how legit you seem on YouTube or whatever people will always always have an issue with something they said.
Like when you say read a book then people before you said they are skeptical of rich dad poor dad. That book was recommended to me by a lot of successful people but it was first recommended to me by a teacher in college.
My point is it’s not that everyone is a grifter scammer or whatever, they are all famous because they were trying to make money and everyone of them has good points about certain topics. Some of them dudes like credit some don’t. Some are good at sticks some say stick to EFT’s. Some say own everything and some say don’t own the house you live in only own for investment.
I’ve learned some good info from everyone listed here and I’ve disagreed with something everyone has said.
People throw the word grifter/scammer around too much, imo.
It’s not thrown around enough
I remember someone saying that most modern content like books, tv, etc from 1990s and up aren't that good because they are more focused on building a brand for the author than giving out knowledge and that people should look for info from books published in the 1980s or earlier if the want in depth information.

Anyone selling courses, in any industry, is a red flag unless its about an extremely niche topic.
If they're selling something, probably unreputable.
If they're just analysts, then there may be some benefit.

anyone hawking crypto or who hang out with NOI adjacent dues don't get any spin

So if that’s true then where can we safely look for information?
Because even though these dudes are building their brand through these books I feel like there is still some useful information in them.
Idk I feel like it’s a case by case basis
There's useful information in their youtube videos - and there's a lot of fluff.
But people come for the fluff, the sauce, the steez, their spin on things that are well discussed.
What EYL and WallStreet Trapper are doing is nothing different than Dr. Boyce Watkins. Taking well known information, restyling it for a Black Audience.
Boyce is supposed to speak to Gen X and older (and "respectable")
EYL is for the younger generations.
