That advice from a canceled YouTuber actually helped me dodge a bullet

Back in June, I was about to buy into this sketchy online coaching program that a semi-famous influencer was pushing. Then I remembered a video from Jenna Marbles where she straight up said "if they try to upsell you something before you even see results, run." She got canceled a few years back for some old racist skits, but that specific piece of advice stuck with me. I passed on the $500 program, and sure enough, three months later the whole thing got exposed as a pyramid scheme. Has anyone else ever gotten solid advice from someone who fell from grace?

I read something similar once about how even flawed people can accidentally give good advice, like a broken clock being right twice a day. Jenna Marbles had some bad moments for sure, but that one line about not paying for promises is just solid common sense that anyone could benefit from. Funny how sometimes the most unlikely sources end up being the ones who keep you out of trouble.

Wait, does that mean I'm accidentally giving solid life advice right now?
