Hey Ben,

I saw it as my moral duty to climb up the peaks of your grisly sea-side stronghold to give you word of a new fad on Facebook, as you are no longer on the platform.

Recently I have seen A LOT of Facebook Ads that are selling biz opp that are trying to be "self-aware" in that they have some sort of appeal like...

"But don't listen to the GURUS"

"FORGET the gurus and..."

"'oh great' you are probably thinking, 'here's another FB Ad with a...'"

Basically trying to distinguish themselves from all the internet marketing gurus.

Kind of reminds me of the "nice guys," who go on about how they aren't like other guys, how they respect women, and how they are a feminist or whatever... and yet if you reject them then you get told to kill yourself.

Do what you will with this information, I am retreating back down the rocky cliff into the sea.

They are just doing typical social media Virtue Signaling.

(Guru Signaling?)

It’s always entertaining when someone selling their products or services defines themselves or their products/services as not being someone else, or not that someone else’s products or services.

I am not saying that never works.

But, I wouldn’t recommend building a business around that…

What's important though, is why people do this sort of thing.

My opinion on that is this:

A lot of these blokes are clearly way too concerned with what people think of them. And this is something — in my 100% self-aggrandizing opinion — I believe can be eradicated via the aggressive & immediate implementation of my "Persuasion Secrets of the World's Most Charismatic & Influential Villains" book.

It is designed to attack that wicked disease of the mind.

And then, bring their inner-game back to full health.
