These ads starts from bragging about the success of their personal channels and ends with a promise that if you buy their course, you will become a successful youtuber. The sad part is many young aspiring creators are falling in the trap of these self proclaimed YouTube Gurus.

So by following any Guru's advice or course you are killing your creativity. Moreover if you want to learn anything technical like editing then you can learn from YouTube itself, there are thousand of free tutorial videos on YouTube.
Why people are falling prey to these Gurus
There are two kinds of people who are their main preys- first those who thinks that YouTube is too much technical and they need some external help to learn it and the second is GenZ kids who wants to become a YouTube Superstar like their Idol Creators. The first category of people are either ignorant, stupid or lazy. Because a simple google search can help learn them anything about YouTube. The second category, GenZ just want the result and they hate the process. They don't believe in R&D before doing anything. Due to this habit of instant Gratification kids are buying the courses offered by these Scam gurus. And most of their courses are nothing but some basic information about YouTube which anyone can get for free after some little research on internet.

All it takes is hardwork and consistency to build a career in YouTube. Even if you look at the career of your favorite creator, they themselves invested many years in their channels and they also worked really hard.
