The drama tweets are just an ad. You kind of want to find out who "Daniel Vassallo" is, and of course he's selling a subscription.
Don't spread lies about folks you don't know personally, please.

Yeah, that really puts him in a much better light. Totally . For real . Btw, kinda on-topic: did you notice this discussion yesterday? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40051597
Nothing to do with this, quite the opposite.
Right, a person running a group called "small bets" has no relation to people getting simps to gamble their money away. I'm sure you're right, you are not a simp after all!
Btw, ever heard of the duck test?

> thus drawing more eyeballs to his $400 "I will teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur" course on X (because of course he has one). Just a voice in support of Daniel here as this is a bit of a mischaracterisation. He’s a really nice, gentle guy, who runs a small online community called Small Bets which I would characterise as the opposite of a “I will teach you to be rich” course. (I’m a satisfied paid member…

I don't see a button to reply to your comment below, but I'd suggest going to smallbets.com to actually see what this is all about, instead of random guesses about gambling.
Also, calling someone a "simp" is a sign of immaturity, just so you know.
Re: MKBHDs for Everything
#194I follow @dvassallo for a long time. Everything start making sense once you realize that he his using his twitter as a way to funnel customers to his other ventures.
I love a lot of his takes because they make me think but it is clear that he is trying to find some edgy takes that will make people react.
Re: MKBHDs for Everything
#195I agree. There is zero upside in Marques and his crew lying about a product for backchannel sponsorship dollars; only downside. Make bad products, get bad reviews. I especially love how he obliterated Fisker for putting out an incomplete product (Fisker Ocean) at Model Y prices.

Pretty sure he's a scammer like the rest of the people selling courses after never having done anything noteworthy or interesting in their "career". Ie. people shouldn't boost this.
> “Pretty sure he’s a scammer”
On what specific basis?
Re: MKBHDs for Everything
#197Maybe Vassalo is selling the worst "I will teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur" online course ever? Talk about glass roofs…
The casual and baseless character assassination in these comments is pretty infuriating.
Also “glass roofs” isn’t a thing.

Really? He has a course like that? Sounds like Vassallo is selling way more Snake oil than he claims ill intentions with MKBHD.
After a while of following him, some bot on his account DMs me about some crypto or whatever stuff.
Sorry but this is a lie. I don’t have bots and I don’t do crypto.
Think before you make public accusations.

You’ve made a leap that I am somehow making a comment on the accuracy of his review. I have no idea about Humane’s product or whether MKBHD’s review is accurate. I’m simply making the point that “The worst product I’ve reviewed… For Now” is a bit clickbaity . Ie it is specifically worded in a way that encourages clicks.
I somewhat agree that it's __somewhat__ clickbaity, but the other important part of something being clickbait is "being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading". [0] I'm sure there are some definitions of clickbait that don't require that, but at least colloquially with people I talk to, it's assumed that clickbait necessarily engages in deceptive behavior where the content is not aligned with t…
The title is opposite of clickbait. It’s so sensational that millions of people will stop at the headline and not watch the review.
Re: MKBHDs for Everything
#200The only argument against MKBHD could be the YouTube title he chose. But if a "company" with many hundreds of people can't handle a title and goes under, it never deserved to exist.
It's amazing that people have issues with a Youtube title that perfectly describes said video.
It's not uncommon to encounter individuals which would rather prefer you not look too closely at a thing.
