Now part of the problem is we don’t know the average membership length, and it’s further complicated by the fact that the Tate brothers ran the ‘school’ like a pyramid scheme where enrolling another member earned you a kick-back (which is why so many random channels popped up a few years back sharing clips).
So pulling random numbers out of my arse, if the average membership period was ~6 months and they had ~30% operating expenses (servers, bandwidth, kickbacks etc.) they could have netted ~$168m from this scheme.
I too, share your self-loathing in my morals preventing me from exploiting these absolute morons.
800,000 people fell for that scam? Fuck me, that’s a lot of stupidity…
Remember Trump University? Imagine putting that on your resume.
At 50$ a pop it’s 40 000 000$ Grifters gonna grift ! Sometimes I hate that I have morals stopping me from exploiting those morons.
It’s worse than you think; it’s $50/month!

It’s like eight whole megastupid

People is stupid
This George Carlin bit is relevant.
Yup, was one of the first bits I thought of too…
I still paraphrase his “your stuff is shit, my shit is stuff” to this day… 😅
We really need someone to fill the massive shoes he left behind - an individual able to call out all the egregious bullshit.
Bill Burr comes close to George’s savagery 😅 ( just my opinion )
