Hey all. I recently thought about this. As someone who has had many close and painful experiences with narcissists throughout my life, whenever I see a big/upcoming youtuber, especially when it's pill related, the narcissism on display is incredible. And I fear that this will have repercussions for entire generations of people to come.

What I mean is that you only need to look at a few videos of people like Hamza, Enterpreneurs in cars, Stephiscold, DariusM, Fresh&Fit, etc. etc., the list can go on for hours. And this is only youtube, it gets worse with how mainstream the red pill has gotten. And I would argue it has been so corrupted it's causing more damage than good at this point. It's a cult formed around narcissistic personalities that prey on young men that are in a phase of trying to find themselves.

Some of you might know a youtuber called Hamza, which openly admitted to being a manipulative, calculating business man that sells trash to his audience but they gobble it up like mad because he offers them a self described cult they can be part of. What use is this for young men? These people get rich off red pill ideas while corrupting tens of thousands, maybe millions of young men. Not once are they told to explore their personalities, they are just used for a quick buck.

In addition to that, this might cause severe problems for these men down the road. Being told they have to use other people, that only money and status counts, in America especially, an already "swim or drown" culture. This will only lead to relationships getting more unstable and less satisfying as time goes on. Imagine being told you have to employ "dread game", as someone who is a genuinely empathetic person. Imagine being told that you aren't right as a man or woman because of your empathy.

The thing that shocks me is how many people CELEBRATE this now. Again, under said youtuber's videos, where he openly admits to essentially scamming people, he is PRAISED by his viewers and that they want to become as successful as him. Where does this lead us? And more importantly, will irreparable damage be caused to tens of thousands because of this?

At some point I would argue we have lost the path of letting people explore their personalities. Instead, these influencers, ever growing in number, advocate for society to become a pool of sharks ready to tear each other apart for the slightest scrap of status and money. Do you think this will damage people or just delay maturity in some?
