Bought a $60 "Gen Z side hustle course" from a TikTok guy in Tampa and it was just him telling me to sell the same course
I'm 34 so I'm an elder millennial and I figured maybe the younger crowd knew something I didn't about making extra money online. Dropped $60 on this course from a guy in Tampa with 400k followers who promised a step by step plan to make $2k a month. It was 11 videos of him saying to film yourself talking about the course and sell it to your friends. That was the whole thing, just a loop where the product is selling the product. My brother in law is Gen Z and he laughed at me for a solid 5 minutes when I told him. So is this actually a generational thing or did every age group fall for pyramid stuff back in the day too? I want to know if I'm just old and easy to trick now.

Whoa, eleven videos? He couldn't even be bothered to fake it for a full hour? That's the part that gets me. Dude made 400k followers and his big secret is "sell my course to your friends," which is just the oldest scam in the book wearing new sneakers. Your brother in law laughing for 5 minutes straight is honestly the correct response. And no, you're not just old now, every age group has fallen for this stuff, it's just that the internet made it faster. Back in the day it was knife sets and vitamin pills, same loop, different wrapper.
