Five Money Strategies That Absolutely Failed
Proof that content money-making schemes don’t work.
I was curious about how all the hopeful predictions from positivity gurus actually faired over time, so I took a look back at a variety of articles and posts from 2020 and 2021, that were created by some of the leading “life coaches” and self-proclaimed “personal development experts.”
Spoiler alert, the content didn’t age very well at all.
During that journey through the universe of nauseating optimism devoid of critical thought and facts, I discovered something more troubling than just the simple reality that productivity pushers have been wrong.
What I found was that these very same people are today making very disturbing statements that are outright hostile to knowledge and thinking.
Here are just a few examples:
“Abnormal people don’t watch the news. Staying informed is a mind disease.”
“Fearbait is the number one way to make money online. It’s a form of entrepreneurship. America is going to be fine. Don’t be fooled by these jokers. Politics doesn’t help.”
“Stop having political beliefs, they’re just making you mad”
