  1. Their motivational seminars remind me so much of Evangelical leaders... there should be a documentary on this, I think, uniquely American phenomenon. Cults of personality surrounding a single, charismatic leader, taking advantage of people's vulnerability and exploiting their entrepreneurial spirit for their money.

  2. Maybe 98% to you. Social media algorithms give you more of what you already watch. So the simple solution is to unfollow the gurus and annoying 'hustle' people. Everyone's feed is different, and it's up to you (unfortunately, since it used to take 0 effort to have a fun time on social media in the early 2010's) to shape it.

  3.  @JamesJani  Wow, thanks for replying, and for the heart! I genuinely didn't expect it, especially such a detailed response. Have you thought about sources yet? I think the history could extend all the way back to the Puritans and John Winthrop's City on a Hill idea, echoed later by President Reagan who also happened to have a sort of cult of personality. But I think the modern Evangelical movement would have to start with Billy Graham, for sure. He pioneered televangelism. And I agree, the gurus are simply weaponizing an otherwise good trait for their own profit. I don't think the video gave any wrong impressions there. You've got a new sub, love the content!
