▶Play the video: The NFT salesmen are backI’ve seen all this before. In 2020 it was NFTs, and everybody was going to get rich from monkey JPEGs. When that stopped working so well, the same people sold NFT courses. Then dropshipping. Then dropshipping courses. Then communities selling communities, and courses on running communities. Same playbook, round and round.
Once you’ve seen it a few times the pattern is easy to spot. A new thing. A course about the new thing. A community about the course.
And every single time one of these comes round, I get told my job has disappeared. I’m still here, still building websites.
The tech behind each wave changes. The people selling it don’t. They’re shilling, and you shouldn’t pay them any attention whatsoever.
Maybe I sound a bit bitter.

But, to be honest, I've seen this whole thing before, right? In 2020, when NFTs came around and everybody thought they were going to get rich from monkey JPEGs, we saw this same playbook then. And then after that, when that wasn't working so well anymore, we saw people selling NFT courses, the same playbook again. And then when that wasn't working so well, either, we saw drop shipping and then drop shipping courses, then an NFT course is selling drop shipping, and communities selling communities, and people selling community courses. The same thing goes over and over and over.
And every single time one of those things has happened, I've been told that my job has disappeared. The tech may change behind all these things, but ultimately the people behind it doesn't. And all of these people are shilling bastards that you shouldn't pay any attention to whatsoever. Maybe I sound a little bit bitter.
