Bought a $90 "AI stock picker" guide from a guy on YouTube and it was just his referral links
I paid $90 last month for a PDF called something like "The 3 Stocks AI Is Hiding From You," mostly because the guy's thumbnail had a Lamborghini in it and I was tired. The whole guide was 14 pages and 11 of them were just his affiliate links to broker apps, plus a chart with no source. Did anyone else get taken by one of these finance bros, or is it just me blaming myself for a Tuesday at 3am?

Those thumbnails are the whole scam basically. Lambo in the driveway, fake shocked face, arrow pointing at some stock chart that goes straight up. And the "chart with no source" thing kills me because it could be made in five minutes in a free tool, no real data behind it at all. The affiliate links are the actual product, the "guide" is just the bait to get you clicking through to whatever broker pays him per signup. My cousin fell for one of those where the guy charged $200 for a "private group" and it was mostly just him posting screenshots of trades with the losing ones cropped out. The 3am part is real though, they know exactly when people are tired and scrolling and the ad hits different.
