My cousin appeared on a Indian youtube channel to give financial advice and talk about his investments. The host was shocked at how well rounded my cousin is at 25, and how much he has already invested in the market, and how’s now living off passive income as he plans his next move and all. Very inspiring.
Except, the whole thing is a sham. Turns out the investment advisor is a youtube content creator who had promised a couple of videos to his sponsor, and he had absolutely nothing or nobody to talk to. So he asked my cousin to appear on his show as this young investment whizkid, and for better story telling made him unemployed and living off passive income. Next time you watch a youtube video talking investment advice keep in mind that what you see and hear could be completely BS. And yes, please dont take investment advice from Youtube to begin with.
