Youtuber Spencer Cornelia Joins The Dark Side

That's insane. I mean, holding some guy accountable for someone else's fraud when all he did was make youtube videos about it is insane.

The argument is that the influencers are financial "gurus" advising people on how to invest so they should take some of the blame for not vetting FTX better. You can maybe excuse the sport stars since they are just jocks.

What can I tell you? Former mayor Bloomberg wanted to enforce a soda ban because sugar is bad for you. How far is too far? When do people take accountability for their own actions? Damn I could have used that $10k for my student loans.

The difference is that I know how good Google USED to be 20 years ago. It is a steaming pile of dog crap compared to it's previous level of usefulness.

Oh I hear you lwlee. But the cutoff should very clearly be "were they in on it". If they were in on the fraud, they can be found guilty. That "they should have vetted it" argument would just lead to disaster for a number of reasons. People need to vet on their own IMO. Just my views (which are the correct ones of course).

My rule now is when people start to espouse utopia, I stay away.

Yup.

Homo Sapiens and utopia will never go along.

Maybe Homo Deus, but still.
