Paid $150 for a course on viral social media comments

I saw this ad for a program that promised to teach you how to write comments that blow up. Figured it was a smart investment since I spend so much time on forums anyway. The whole thing was just basic stuff like 'be authentic' and 'engage with trending topics' that you could get from a free blog post. After two weeks I realized I got scammed and the guy ran the same course for 5 years without updating anything. Anybody else fall for one of these internet money-grab courses?

Honestly I gotta say I think you're being too hard on the guy. Paying for something forces you to actually commit and follow through instead of just bookmarking a free blog post that you'll never read. Plus if you got even one good idea out of it that helped you write a comment that got some attention then it paid for itself in the long run.

Spent money on worse things that didn't teach me anything.
