There's something pretty surreal about an actual multi-billionaire running the youtube investor guru schtick.

You know it's possible for people to start YouTube channels as a hobby/side project/whatever. Not everyone with a YouTube channel is trying to scam you. Billionaires are people too. Justin Kan has a YouTube channel for example. You should check it out :-)

At least he's not selling a course

"How I Made $2B By Doing Almost Nothing", on sale now for a limited time. Only $19.99! Order today. And don't forget to like and subscribe. That would really help me out.

The better title would be "How I made $2B on an educated $300k bet" because even the best startup investors will tell you that investing that early is essentially betting.

And early-stage help and intros are crucial for startups - between YC and Garry's network I'm sure a ton of that contributed to their success as well. At the end of the day still a bet, but just saying.

You're right, that would be a better title.
