I got scammed when I was 11 and tried to get a design for a channel for pvp minecraft(back in the day everyone would buy/sell these) and that was a blessing
I invested a bit in earth2 and after spending much time on it the last months I can say for sure that this is definitely not a scam. The project might fail (don't think so) but the devs are really serious on this and they have great plans. E2 could really get very, very big in a few years. Just give them time. It takes years to develop something that huge 👍
I remember this story about a guy who made a crap load of cash by selling "5G repellent lotion". I have 0 hate for that guy nor do I have any remorse for the people who bought it.
@u dope What is up with religious people going to channels like penguinz0 and trying to spread their religion?You'd think this would be the last place for people like that to be in. This dude makes videos on shitty internet trends and cocks,what led you here?
I don't like when the elderly are scammed, because they usually don't have a way to defend themselves But there's a lot of scammers I consider heroes, just for stuff like this.
The trailer perfectly illustrates just how much money goes into scamming people. They legit put more effort into the presentation than the actual product, and of course, people buy into it.
@@strav8337 dude, I miss the time when people wouldn't just sprint like there's no tomorrow and slide like the entire ground had been lace with grease and butter.
people who fall for pyramid schemes don't call them pyramid schemes because they are in denial. I had some family friends fall for a pyramid scheme a few years back and even though it had all the telltale signs of a pyramid scheme, they kept insisting it was actually a "multi-level marketing opportunity" that was reputable.
“We programmed a realistic rocket ship, and we forced one of our men to put on a VR headset and fly to Neptune. Of course, this will take years. However what makes it interesting is that he isn’t allowed to take his helmet off or we shoot him in the head.” “So how much is he getting paid?” “Minimum wage. But at that rate, we’re basically paying him to spend 12 years of his life and in return we pay him 762k. Definitely not worth it, Yeah. It’s basically torture. I spent two days in there and wanted to commit suicide, but then I realized that just resets the program. Luckily we’re streaming all of this so we get money. So it’s really a win-win scenario.” -Crowd1 Owner’s

“Migster” looks and SOUNDS like it was ripped off someone’s deviant art, made 3D by the same geniuses that made “The Amazing Bulk”, and then given the most nasally quaint, milk toast, Starbucks janitor voice they could. And you’re buying......a platform? How does one BUY a platform? So I need to call r/WallStreetBets for this? Because this all sounds about as easy as algebra to understand. Fuck that.

Charlie getting nostalgic about the old Cartoon Network website got me all caught up in the nostalgia too. I used to spend so many hours on that Teen Titans fighting game.
GO LOOK AT THE VIDEO AGAIN! It doesn't say not. It actually says, "To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme." They used improper punctuation and sold themselves out. If it said is before crowd1 it would be what they intended.
I don't understand why Charlie gets so baffled at this. We live in a time where ppl paid for Belle Delphine bath water. I'm 100% sure if Charlie sold fart jars he would make a ton of money

Not sure if anybody noticed, but on the disclaimer he pointed out... "To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme," I think the word "is" was supposed to be IN FRONT of "Crowd1." Instead, they simply admitted they're a scam in their own disclaimer.
Im sorry but alot of these are flop’s. Nasty wet crabby patty flops. Just stop, quit while your ahead, please its done, its over you mustache-less monstrosity…
I think the notepad and bookmark features are probably targeting old folks who don't know they don't have to pay for that. which is the exact sort of scumbag tactics I would expect from this kind of company
The reason it's wealthy people getting scammed is because the investment is relatively small compared to someone who doesn't have a lot of money. If the investment is $1,000, that's gonna be a much easier decision for someone with $1 million to make than for someone with $80,000 to make. If you're spending a smaller percentage of your net worth on it, it's not gonna be something that you put as much thought into.
fr like i understand the video charlie watched in a diff language (i’m filipino) and he literally clicked away when the dude was about to announce what the currency is for LMAOOO edit: just wanna add that either way i probably still won’t understand what they’re selling
So basically it's a virtual world you can own land in Btw Straight up People who buy first accrue the ingame currency faster than those later, which you can just straight turn into money. They even have a Mastercard for it Thier own words and rules. Straight up a pyramid scheme
I think what's the most fucking insidious about LinkMe and SoMe is that their names are so purposefully vague, that you simply can't get around the fact that searching for any information on the sites is next to impossible in most search engines. Trying to get more info on SoMe, I even literally came across a dead end due to the fact that "SoMe," in those exact capitals, is fucking shorthand for *Social Media!* This is goddamn seizure-inducing!
Pretty sure the names are just incompetent, not malicious. SoMe is essentially the exact same thing as linktree so it's actually a genius idea that has a shit ton of demand behind it. Problem is, linktree already exists.
Even as obvious a scam as it is, people are still fooled by it. Scamming people is rarely ever the scammer being smart but people getting scammed because they're stupid
"Just to avoid any confusion...." The irony is that sentence itself is confusing. Why would put that there in the first place? And its so poorly worded it that is can also be translated as "Crowd1 is an investment scheme". Its almost as if they think because they disclose the scheme they can't be held accountable?
The most unbelievable part of YuGiOh is not that holograms can physically interact with the real world; not that you can have your soul snatched by losing so much as a game of Cee Lo; not that a random artifact worn around your neck gives you access to an alternate persona that is Git Gud personified But the fact that the Pharoah Yugi was able to style his hair like that in ancient Egypt without access to hair gel and dye as we know them today

My mom was involved in this company, they call it "network marketing based". They say that Crowd1 is not a pyramid, because it has the product which participants can promote by inviting other people. The product, as I understand, is services of airline(name of which I can't remember) and this tournament platform. Btw, Miggster's hosts promised to add well-known competitive esport disciplines and organise tournaments between famous teams *in the future* . So I remember how my brother actually finished one of these events in primitive yeti arcade in the top 3, maybe he even won there. He won the prize that was some shit like phonecase or socks, but he didn't received it even after calling support service lol And yes, Crowd1 participants are used to call all negative reviews for their company as paid and weak attempt to "ruin the innovative business scheme"
I love how intense the graphics are for the trailer, and then she picks some 2D side scroller someone likely slapped together on the weekend for a college assignment.
"To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme." The wording of this can be perceived as them admitting they ARE an investment scheme... Since the non-essential clause ", at no level," can be removed you end up with "To avoid any confusion, Crowd1 is an investment scheme." Just straight up admitting to it lol
Omg, I totally didn’t notice that. That phrasing and punctuation leaves it ambiguous as to whether the “at no level” part is supposed to apply to the first or last clause of the sentence. 🤔
It is most likely on purpose as it could be beneficial for them if facing possible legal proceedings. What it wants you to think it says is: "To avoid any confusion, at no level IS Crowd1 an investment scheme", but the meaning of the sentence definitely is not the same even though in casual speech it seems like the same thing.
The only people that call pyramid schemes “multi level marketing opportunities” are people who are involved in multiple pyramid schemes and trying to convince their friends they aren’t morons.
I don't think I've seen something that's more a Pyramid Scheme than this. They charge you for things that you apps that do the exact same thing on the app store.
ever since the reddit gme every social media user wants to be part of the "next big thing", you just need to target those people and bot twitter followers
I think it just that scammers have realized that theres a LARGE pool of stupid gamers out there just waiting to be scammed....i mean with alot of the games nowadays you can say we already do and people come back for more. Its kind one of the perfect audiences to scam.
@@carto4028 True, because of the FOMO these scammers use, gamers are with the elderly on the most susceptible to these sort of pyramid and ponzi schemes.
4:10 - You can download a package with ALL Flash games archived and running. It's called FlashPoint. I've used it to relive some old flash games, and so far haven't been added to some foreign botnet as far as I can tell.
Some people don't choose to be socially awkward, through medical issues they just are, and it's because of those people that scammers like this deserve to rot in prison. Sick
Even though this stuff looks like more of a Ponzi scheme than a pyramid, pyramid schemes are usually referred to as multi-level marketing because pyramid schemes are illegal but MLMs are not by way of technicalities, therefore referring to what are technically-legal MLMs as really-illegal pyramid schemes in an official way can get you sued back into the Mesozoic era.
They call it “multi-level marketing” when you’re a part of it or they’re recruiting. Everyone ELSE calls it a pyramid scheme. That being said, join my-NO!
"To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme" that sentence is hilarious. Idk if I just suck at english but the way it's set up seems like it implies that it is an investment scheme. Take out the comma part and its just "To avoid any confusion Crowd1 is an investment scheme" Its like they're literally telling you they're a scam and people still buy into it
I just watched this video again after 9 months and had forgotten about it, scrolled down to comment the EXACT same thing :') Well played past me, well played.
"I think some people just need to get scammed" Yep.. There are your Runescape dupe scams and the tf2 steam gift card scams, but at least the majority of us learn. I feel bad for the vulnerable people who repeatedly get scammed, chasing that fomo. It's so sad

I love that the people in that bogus miggster trailer look so confused. Most adverts would go for a "hell yeah let's go!" Attitude, not these guys, they went with the "WTF is going on here, what is happening, I'm scared and confused," angle.
The fuckin My Gym Partner’s a Monkey game was awesome, I vaguely remember some game kinda like Club Penguin but you were human with emotes/chattin. Rip Flash, some of the best games on there
The "we're not a scam" thing reminds of how early MMO bots would suddenly start going "bot? im not a bot lol" whenever anyone near them said something like "where can i get empty bottles?"
The way I was taught in school was that any sentence with a comma conjunction should still make sense without the conjunction being there. The “To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme” just becomes “To avoid any confusion, Crowd1 is an investment scheme”… well done
The "intended" sentence would be "To avoid any confusion, at no level is Crowd1 an investment scheme". By phrasing it in the way you mentioned, they are actually saying the opposite thing - in other words, the truth - and thus have plausible deniability of misleading customers into buying a pyramid scheme. "We told everyone it was a scam from the start!"
Their disclaimer saying they aren't a pyramid scheme is worded incorrectly and they're in fact saying "Crowd1 is an investment scheme." Just take out the phrase in the commas.

I'm very glad that I as a young person was still able to look at all the NFT/Crypto shit and deduce "Yeah none of this is going to last or maintain any value"
Oh god I remember how back in 2019 people around me were in too deep with crowd1. Everyone was joining the bandwagon, people inviting other for the $$$ and I almost bought into it due to peer pressure and the fear of missing out but my instinct knew that the entire premise of crowd1 was just a scam. I did my own research and discover that they don't actually have a product or services that they offer, technically they have a service but its "teaching" people about opportunities and that load of crap they say on their so called meetings. I really hate how they target the vulnerable to gain a lil bit of that dough, they straight up just flash you some fancy words so that you may think they are smart and know what they are doing. They call their ventures business opportunities but what happens in reality is that you're simply paying to get a ticket to hear a rich man tells his "rags to riches story" I also love how their members are so deluded they think that they'll get rich by inviting more people.
