Oh, oh dear. Um, that was sarcasm. I clearly don't think people should be looking for get rich schemes, on yt or otherwise. It was aimed at the people that think day trading, lottery tickets, or otherwise longshots are a logical response to a hostile market.

Its hard to think of any scam that isn't portrayed as "working out (for the (would be) rich)". Again, a good reason to be wary of such things.

I'm totally in favor of helping struggling folks, taking care of basic needs, etc (though I'm not sure laundered money is the culprit I'd offer). But lord maybe some reasoning skills would also do some wonders. Also, Christ, it pains me how often I think "if only I could sleep with myself stealing money from fools". Because I do know you're right, that's the psychology of why get rich schemes work...
