The only person who won here is Daniel Vassallo, whose low effort post went viral because people kept sharing it to show how stupid it was, thus drawing more eyeballs to his $400 "I will teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur" course on X (because of course he has one).
Just a voice in support of Daniel here as this is a bit of a mischaracterisation.
He’s a really nice, gentle guy, who runs a small online community called Small Bets which I would characterise as the opposite of a “I will teach you to be rich” course. (I’m a satisfied paid member).
I don’t have an opinion on his tweet but both he and MKBHD are equally entitled to share their (strong) opinions on things.
Btw, kinda on-topic: did you notice this discussion yesterday?
Btw, ever heard of the duck test?

I don't see a button to reply to your comment below, but I'd suggest going to smallbets.com to actually see what this is all about, instead of random guesses about gambling.
Also, calling someone a "simp" is a sign of immaturity, just so you know.
It's not a "get rich quick" scheme by any stretch of imagination, because they teach how to grow your wealth slowly over time, in opposition to those who prefer to invest in uncertain stocks or go to a VC-backed startup.
Think before you make public accusations.
You sound like the guy standing next to the street hustler telling you about how he actually got paid.
