hey guy i'm pissed i have been trying to
make this video
for like four months now and today i am
finally giving up
let me explain so it all started in
february when the twitter streets were
buzzing about a new
ace family potential scam the how i
became a millionaire program for the low
low price of just
50 dollars a month and i could not
wait to throw my money away on this when
this kind of stuff happens i don't see a
scam
i just see content daddy made you your
favorite open why now contrary to
popular belief i don't
hate the ace family one might assume
that because of the scathing video i
made about them but
i don't have any beef with like their
one-year-old son
the kids haven't done anything bad it's
just this guy i can't stand
anytime something goes wrong with mr and
mrs ace it seems like he
is at the forefront of it here he is in
the introductory video
following all the standard steps
involved when promoting a social media
course
number one make us feel bad about
ourselves and then dangle in front of us
the possibility of all our dreams coming
true i was living here
about five years ago with catherine and
at the time i was going through
depression now this is my home my dream
home to the power of social media yep i
used to live in a dinky stinky small
house like you but now i have a big
stupid mansion with just one easy trick
doctors hate number two toss out some
vague buzzwords that show off the
valuable information you
can only learn here in this program i'll
be teaching four courses
the first course is how to grow your
social media platforms let me just
i mean the second course is how to make
money from social media
the third course is how to start a
business and you can the last course is
how to grow your business okay yes
technically you could just google
all of that for free but i'd rather hear
it from
austin and finally end on a little
cliffhanger that makes us
yearn to be a part of that exclusive
club i don't know what else to say
i guess the next time i'll see you guys
we'll be inside the program
wait come back i want to be in the
program is it inside your house can i
come in
so needless to say i was pumped credit
card at the ready
amex on speed dial for when they
inevitably assumed this was a fraudulent
charge i was even gonna buy the silver
and gold memberships just so i could
compare the two because yes with the
silver you do get the basic curriculum
and 48 videos a year
one every week
[Music]
no that's right but then you'd be
missing out on all the exclusive extras
like
bring in other celebrities to hear from
or go on live
with everyone with everyone i'm
picturing a zoom call with like 700
people all talking over each other
they'll even pick a few people for
weekly facetime calls yeah i'm sure they
kept up with that
pick a few people to promote i like how
not specific that is
is it on your youtube channel your
facebook are you gonna write my username
on your arm like one of those hot tub
streamers
pick a few people to verify ooh
i'm sure they're not gonna like email
twitter and have them give you a blue
check mark on there
i'm pretty sure they're just gonna
verify my hibm profile so everyone knows
that i'm the official ace lover for life
what i really love about those last
three
is that none of them are even guaranteed
but they're still listing them as
benefits
that would be like if i said hey fans if
you mail me a check for 100
i might have lunch with you i have no
obligation to do it
because i didn't actually promise that i
would but you should still
send me that money just in case so now
you can see why i was so excited to sign
up for this however
i couldn't because i guess i missed the
enrollment window so i had to wait
another month and a half i still don't
understand
what this business model is it seems
like the whole thing is a money grab
but then they're like really selective
about who they grab money from anyway i
forgot about it for a little bit
a couple months go by i go to check it
and realize god damn it i
missed it again it was such a short
window they didn't advertise it at all
the second time
and then the timer just reset the whole
thing is so weird but i was determined
not to let this opportunity slip by
again so i checked back
every week i made sure that we were on
track i marked my calendars i set an
alarm nothing was gonna stop me from
being there
the second that timer hit zero which by
the way
was on father's day sorry dad i can't
have dinner with you this year
i need to sit at my computer so i can
sign up for a scam i made sure
that i would be there i sat and watched
as that countdown hit
zero finger hovering over the mouse and
wouldn't you know it
nothing happened i couldn't join the
text didn't change
it still told me i needed to follow the
timer which was now
gone how am i gonna become a millionaire
now and that's when it hit me
i just got scammed out of getting
scammed
i was practically on my knees begging
for it and instead of taking my money
all they did was waste my time and you
know they say
time is money so technically they wasted
po now the fact that i couldn't join
doesn't mean that the course itself is
not a scam i mean i would argue that if
their website
isn't being updated to bring in new
members it probably doesn't bode well
for the members they already do have the
instagram
is totally inactive they've had exactly
six posts on there
every time i've checked and that
follower number has only been going down
so they're not accepting anyone new
so it's probably safe to assume that
they're not keeping up with the 600
a year program that they made since i
couldn't join the program the only
recent updates i could find were in a
video by a youtuber named sloane and he
actually had screenshots from some of
his subscribers who did sign up for the
program lots of not so surprising
details here
like the information is not even
remotely valuable
the videos seem rushed none of the live
streams were ever done on time which
messed up people's schedules because
they would make their plans around it
but it gets worse
not a single active user on here has
ever had a facetime call
yeah i'm sure they kept up with that
apparently they're given worksheets to
fill out
while watching the videos so it's like
homework that you have to pay for but
then when they turn it in
they don't get any feedback so like
what's the point and even though they're
all frustrated with the service they're
getting they're worried about telling
the truth and being blacklisted from the
app so they just continue pretending
like nothing's wrong and that's not even
mentioning what people found in the user
agreement which includes a million words
of legal jargon that essentially boils
down to
we own any content that you post we can
reuse it however we want
we can monetize it however we want and
there's nothing you can do to stop us
even if we just take a video idea and do
it ourselves or
steal your merch concept because we like
it for our brand
that's fair game dude and it makes me
sad that even with
all of that [ __ ] the fans still want
to forgive them and that's what's got to
be the most [ __ ] up part of all this
is that you are specifically targeting
your biggest fans
you're taking advantage of the people
who trust you the most
how ironic that his own advice to you is
to engage with your audience
nurture them on every plate form
shouldn't you start by nurturing your
own audience or are they not paying you
enough for that this isn't even the
first time
they're doing this exact scam they
already tried to do this a couple years
ago with the ace club
and then took none of the blame when it
crashed and burned the people that we
partnered with
in that adventure they just weren't good
partners um
they end up unfortunately scamming us
sorry guys those
idiot web developers screwed us over or
i guess what i mean is you guys got
scammed okay
so maybe don't do it again then did they
think if they just made it really hard
to join you only have 24 hours then
people wouldn't find out how bad it is
because people like me couldn't go and
make a video about it or
and hear me out do they just suck
i think it's that one i'm actually
surprised that this many people had
enough faith left in austin to want to
sign up for this in the first place
i get it though you're a fan you want to
give them a chance to grow
you want to trust them i used to trust
people too but
sometimes things happen that change the
way you look at the world
that harden you as a person
[Music]
it was 2006 runescape.com
my friend on the game comes up to me and
says hey
would you like one million gold coins
and i was like
uh yes please how do you know that's
exactly what i wanted
what a nice guy all you have to do is
give me your password and obviously i
had to think about it for a little bit
can i really trust this guy maybe he's
trying to take advantage of me here you
go
great now in order for this to work you
just have to log out
and log back in and the money will be in
your bank yeah of course that makes
sense
be right back so i log out alarm bells
still not going off give it a couple
minutes try to log back in and i can't
because someone
else is on the account and now it's
starting to hit me
that maybe this offer of one million
dollars
in exchange for nothing was a little too
good to be true so i keep trying to log
back in
over and over and over again and the
more time that passes the more freaked
out i start to get and finally after
about five minutes
of crying and pissing all over myself i
was able to log back in and i had been
wiped clean all of my coins and armor
and everything i had worked so hard for
in the game
was gone i was devastated but i learned
a valuable lesson that day that you
can't just go around
trusting random people i had a pretty
sheltered childhood so this was kind of
a shock to me so i swore to myself that
this would never
happen again that i would never fall for
another scam and i was doing
pretty damn good until i bought
this [ __ ] thing yeah i'm talking
about my moon pot again the
lumpy sack of beads that pretends to be
25
off even though it's always this price
what this time it's for father's day
my dad would disown me if i bottomed
this thing
plus i'm already on thin ice because i
had to cancel our dinner plan they have
the audacity
to describe it as the anti-anxiety chair
wow i can just feel my anxiety
melting away guess i don't need my
therapist
anymore unlike traditional bean bags
moonpod belongs in the trash and you
know
i had moved on from this i was ready to
get on with my life
and then they sent me an email asking me
to review it so i did
i shared my honest thoughts i went ahead
and submitted it
even got a little confetti but then i
couldn't help but notice that
my review wasn't on the website
interesting seems like you have hundreds
of positive reviews but only
five negative ones nope those are all
positive
two well maybe i just need to try
submitting another review
cool and where is that one still not
there huh weird how they let this guy
post two positive reviews back to back
but i can't even post one
oh i think i know what the problem is am
i being too mean
here let me tone it down a bit that's
the sound of me kissing your ass
oh my god they [ __ ] posted it
they pose of course they posted that one
i can't believe that actually worked
serious question
is it illegal to hide reviews like this
to just delete bad reviews off your
website because i couldn't get a
straight answer when i looked it up
but i did get two more ads for the moon
pod
on an article about it and if this
screenshot doesn't belong
in a museum then what even is art since
they don't seem to want anybody to find
out how shitty their stupid beanbag
chair is
could you guys do me a favor if you see
one of their sponsored posts out in the
wild and you probably will
could you maybe just comment something a
little bit more accurate on it be as
creative as you want and don't worry
about being too harsh
because they're probably just gonna
[ __ ] delete it anyway sorry for the
rant
it's just that thinking about moon pod
makes me
angry need to smash something
cell phone
goodbye old friend
it didn't even break hi life can be
pretty frustrating sometimes
but you shouldn't demolish your phone
just because you're mad
and with the rhino shield phone case
it's gonna be pretty damn hard too
sponsored by rhino shield for real
though this is literally the toughest
phone case i've ever used and it's also
not a giant bulky mess
like some of the other super protective
one which is nice because you still want
your phone to look cool
while you're launching it towards the
floor these things are super
customizable they have collections with
the nba for example which is great if
you're a magic fan
like me or a lakers fan like everybody
else but they also have collaborations
with nasa
league of legends not to mention
hundreds of cool original designs as
well if there's a certain back plate you
really like
you could then customize the color of
the side protector so you have a ton of
options to choose from you can even
design your own and then customize a
case for your air pods to match
that way people know they're yours for
the ultimate protection you can do what
i did and combine one of their cases
with their 3d impact screen protector
and now you're ready to take on the
world
and drop your phone all over click the
link in the description to check them
out for yourself and for the next week
you can use promo code drew for
20 off your order after that you can
still use it for 10
off and there's no shame in that so
don't let anyone tell you that there is
again that's link in description
code on the screen case on your phone
phone on the ground thank you to rhino
shield for sponsor today's video
instead of tossing me off a cliff sorry
for losing my temper like that you guys
know
that i never get mad about anything on
this channel so it was probably a little
jarring
to see me get so upset won't happen
again i promise
anyway thank you so much for watching
today's video be sure to stare intensely
at that like button
and subscribe if you hate me i'll see
you tomorrow for a really funny video
where i storm back into that salon and
demand
that they put that hair back on my head
bye now this is my home
