I can put you in touch with someone who guaranteed will lose you more than half your investment in 3 years.Me…takes the £100k, invests it, leases the £100k car, lose half of my investment due to headstrong decisions, car costs the other half, end up with jack.
Yeah I had a financial advisor do that to me with my pension thankfully coming to an end although at a big cost and people have gone to Prison.I can put you in touch with someone who guaranteed will lose you more than half your investment in 3 years.
Sorry to hear Phil. Plenty of non-regulated charlatans have sprung up during the pandemic too.Yeah I had a financial advisor do that to me with my pension thankfully coming to an end although at a big cost and people have gone to Prison.
The Con that was Carbon Credits that I invested in on said persons advice back in 2010.
My own fault as if it's too good to be true it usually is but I trusted the guy and even recommended him to others who got conned too.Sorry to hear Phil. Plenty of non-regulated charlatans have sprung up during the pandemic too.
Can't say I'm surprised , he's up there with JK from jamiikyyukwai , Mike Brewer & Jamie Oliver in annoying me , I've never watched more than about 30s of one of his videos , it cant be just me that finds him very irritatingI know one of his Dad's mates. Insanely wealthy family, he can afford not to blink an eye. His wealth is generational, nothing to do with youtube

I am not of a certain age and feel the same way about Talk TV and GB News.Is it because we're off a certain age now I wonder ?
Interesting, but perhaps unsurprising, perspective that people here are more outraged by people making money on YouTube rather than the concept of people having insane amounts of generational wealth.
The above observation was brought to you in the memory of Wanderer, the apparent sole member of the true SM (Socialists Maserati).
I do agree. These influencers serve no real purpose except to line their own pockets. More often than not they only use the product or service as they get it for free. Or if they don't get it free they often don't use their own sort of hard earned cash to purchase said products or services. Another modern pointless layer of nothingness IMHO funded by others. Oddly I guess another sort of stealth tax that people just don't realise they are indirectly funding more often than not.I don't want to do politics (so sorry) but I think the issue *I* have with many of these influencers (and worse, the affilliate marketers) is they don't *appear* to be adding anything to the actual economy, except by (one assumes) their tax burden. This feels like a bubble that would burst if the 'rest of us' didn't have 'proper jobs'
But I don't know. Mods feel free to delete.

Have to agree with the summary. Some of these guys start as enthusiasts and lose their way as they strive to build their income, but some are pretty decent watches and stay honest. Can’t deal with JWW either.True SM tyle thread drift. These are really just lifestyle vlogs, and I've no issue with that. There's some talent to the camera work and editing - some more than others. The SeenThroughGlass / Sam laddy has some skills. JayEmm has some interesting observations and seems pretty down to earth. The real grafter and seemingly most authentic of them all is Mat Armstrong. His trials and tribulations as he stumbles through his rebuilds are well worth a watch. The way-too-pleased-with-himself JWW **** can just **** off.
