Why is that wrong? He also has an insane amount of free content on YouTube.
It's not wrong but any time someone is giving advice and selling something at the same time, it calls into question their motives and integrity.
Just means we should be suspicious, that's all. Lots of scammers out there.
He's literally a licensed therapist
and Dr. Oz is a cardiac surgeon. not to say healthygamergg is scamming or anything, but medical professionals with media careers should be treated with at least a little skepticism.
That's a really extreme and insulting comparison. Can you post an example of anything that's remotely questionable content from healthygamersgg?
I mean that thing where he said to stop eating any/all spicy food and eat plain yogurt if you have anger issues seemed a little weird. Like can offer some plausible deniability but it seems like the notion comes more from "traditional medicine" and iirc there's not much research on the subject. One of his chatters challenged him on it and he basically told them that maybe some of the ancient wisdom actually has a point, the science just hasn't caught up yet, trust him on this one. I don't disagree with the sentiment in general, science won't always have the answer to a specific question, but I do get weary when people use try to use that to offer their specific remedies.
Source??
Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
are you having a bad day or something
Maybe something like the sponsorblock addon could help
Slightly off topic - describes most social media influencers in a nutshell... particularly sponsored reviews lol
Edit: clarification
If he wants to sell his guides for $75, yeah I think that's overpriced but he can set the price he wants. It's the whole group coaching thing that seems most sketch to me. A group of up to 7 people all having what he legally can't imply is group therapy, but the website advertises that it helps reduce anxiety and depression. His brand is all about mental health, and to me it just skirts too close to doing a bait and switch.
I'm also not a huge fan of the math on their customer cost:coach payment. For group sessions it's $30/session/person, but their coach base salary is $20/hour and "up to" $37.50/hour. There aren't any insurance costs or office rent or anything else like this being eaten up here.
All of this stuff is technically legal, I just find it distasteful and it makes me suspicious.
Also if you think $75 for a guide is expensive, a single therapy session can be $90+
I've paid more than that for therapy sessions, I'm well aware of how fucked the costs are. But they aren't comparable. Therapy is a one on one session with a licensed professional who is providing you with an evaluation and potentially treatment, versus an ebook written by a doctor. I'm not saying it's useless information, but you can probably get comparable books from your local library for free.
