exploring the world of youtuber scams
Hey everyone- welcome back to my channel! Today we're going to be looking at the world of youtuber scams aka looking at some notable scams that have been pulled by youtubers in the past few years. If you've been on youtube for a while you'll likely remember some of the older ones mentioned like the Gabbie Hanna and Tana Mongeau Kenza controversy or one of Jake Pauls 845034853 scams but there are some newer scams in here as well! Also just a heads up, this video was pre-filmed a while ago which is why Jake Paul's "Financial Freedom" program isn't mentioned in here at all lol but I had included his previous scam which was basically the exact same thing except even MORE poorly executed which was Edfluence/Team 1000. Hopefully you guys don't mind that too much and still enjoy :))
sO if you want to look back on some of the most notable scams on youtube or in a way ~explore the world of youtuber scams~ feel free to keep watching! i'm also looking for video ideas if you guys have any so if you think of anything that might work for a video let me know in the comments below or you can dm me it on twitter or instagram! ok im done rambling i hope you guys enjoy the video and i'll see you in the comments!!
also if you see this comment which olive garden appetizer u are lmao

[@FSEThompson]

“The majority of these books are either ghostwritten or unnecessary” Oh, don’t worry, they’re both. Commissioning editors don’t approach influencers bc they think they have anything interesting to say, they approach them because word of mouth is THE make or break selling strat for books, and if your author already has a built-in fan base of millions, then your sales are pretty much guaranteed to skyrocket.

[@stoppickingurnose7852]

[@konstance13]

One of the things I really like about Casey is that yes, you reply to comments and do sweaty shoutouts and appreciate your fans. BUT, it never feels like the overacting constant love/gratitude that some youtubers shower on their viewers. You don't act like your happiness and livelihood are totally dependent on us, and I think that protects both sides from being vulnerable to scams/gaslighting. (Also I work at olive garden and you're totally breadsticks.)

[@kayjoc9722]

Where I went to high school if you were a junior or senior you could take a class called financial literacy in place of math, and in that class you learn about taxes, the different types of taxes, how to calculate takes, how to budget, as well as other useful and helpful things. I think that was probably the most helpful class I took and it should be encouraged to take it more and I recommend that all high school have financial literacy as a class option so that want to learn about taxes, budgeting, and etc. can, or even better they should make it a mandatory class like they make health and PE, because then students will actually learn something useful that they are going to have to do for the rest of their lives once they are an adult.
