Bonus #267 - Kai Cenat University: Grifting the Gullible
Added 2025-03-04 17:00:12 +0000 UTCVIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/HOj3zkyies0
Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day, and here's a fun prompt... can you name a creator with over a million subscribers/followers/etc. who HASN'T tried to figure out some way to con their audience with a get-rich-quick scheme? Seems like they all can't resist. Today's video is about the latest to get in on the grift, perhaps the most successful Twitch streamer in the world, a man who plays video games, throws fits, and sleeps (yes... sleeps) on camera. Enjoy!
Kai Cenat is perhaps one of the most popular, most influential streamers of our time... and there's a good chance you've never heard of him because of how fractured pop culture is these days! But take my word for it, he's famous... and NOW, for just a small fee, he wants to teach YOU how to become famous! Following in the footsteps of Jake Paul, Kai announces his plan to start a "University" where he and other content creators would show you how to "make it". Let's talk about why that's simply not possible...

Disappointed not to be able to enroll in Buckley's "School for assholes" classes could include how to be a funny asshole and how to be a successful asshole online. Nice guys finish last. Allegedly. Every channel seems to have a gimmick, that's what sells. Still haven't figured out mine. Oh well.

2025-03-08 13:28:42 +0000 UTCWait, what happened to those models on criticalrole playing heavily scripted DnD sessions? Also this is going to be an extremely hot take but maybe Kai Cenat is popular because of White guilt. I get the impression he is extremely boring and is probably just another Hollywood Hills baby who never had to work a day in their life and then claim what they do is hard work when it's those behind the scenes who do all the work

Everyone wonders why we as a society are clueless on things. One of the many things are clowns on social media like Kai Cenate, Jack Dohrety, the Paul brothers, and more.

2025-03-04 18:34:47 +0000 UTCI'd have to suggest that Louis Rossman probably qualifies in that camp, but I know not everyone agrees with everything he has to say...

2025-03-04 18:28:33 +0000 UTCSomewhere, at some point in time, poor people got convinced that they're not poor, they're just temporarily inconvenienced and unpopular millionaires in the waiting. All they need to do is to find gullible people to sell stuff to, like teach them how to be successful millionaires, and all they need to do that is to send someone money to teach them how to be successful millionaires. It's all about that instant gratification. "It's my money and I want it NOW!!"

2025-03-04 18:14:27 +0000 UTCI’m pretty sure Mr. Sunday Movies has something like 1.5M subscribers, and I haven’t heard anything bad about him! Also, if people are spending their finite time watching someone sleep, getting scammed is the least of their problems…
