people who fall for pyramid schemes don't call them pyramid schemes because they are in denial. I had some family friends fall for a pyramid scheme a few years back and even though it had all the telltale signs of a pyramid scheme, they kept insisting it was actually a "multi-level marketing opportunity" that was reputable.
“We programmed a realistic rocket ship, and we forced one of our men to put on a VR headset and fly to Neptune. Of course, this will take years. However what makes it interesting is that he isn’t allowed to take his helmet off or we shoot him in the head.” “So how much is he getting paid?” “Minimum wage. But at that rate, we’re basically paying him to spend 12 years of his life and in return we pay him 762k. Definitely not worth it, Yeah. It’s basically torture. I spent two days in there and wanted to commit suicide, but then I realized that just resets the program. Luckily we’re streaming all of this so we get money. So it’s really a win-win scenario.” -Crowd1 Owner’s

The reason it's wealthy people getting scammed is because the investment is relatively small compared to someone who doesn't have a lot of money.

"To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme." The wording of this can be perceived as them admitting they ARE an investment scheme... Since the non-essential clause ", at no level," can be removed you end up with "To avoid any confusion, Crowd1 is an investment scheme." Just straight up admitting to it lol
Omg, I totally didn’t notice that. That phrasing and punctuation leaves it ambiguous as to whether the “at no level” part is supposed to apply to the first or last clause of the sentence. 🤔
It is most likely on purpose as it could be beneficial for them if facing possible legal proceedings. What it wants you to think it says is: "To avoid any confusion, at no level IS Crowd1 an investment scheme", but the meaning of the sentence definitely is not the same even though in casual speech it seems like the same thing.
"Just to avoid any confusion...." The irony is that sentence itself is confusing. Why would put that there in the first place? And its so poorly worded it that is can also be translated as "Crowd1 is an investment scheme". Its almost as if they think because they disclose the scheme they can't be held accountable?

My mom was involved in this company, they call it "network marketing based". They say that Crowd1 is not a pyramid, because it has the product which participants can promote by inviting other people. The product, as I understand, is services of airline(name of which I can't remember) and this tournament platform. Btw, Miggster's hosts promised to add well-known competitive esport disciplines and organise tournaments between famous teams *in the future* . So I remember how my brother actually finished one of these events in primitive yeti arcade in the top 3, maybe he even won there. He won the prize that was some shit like phonecase or socks, but he didn't received it even after calling support service lol And yes, Crowd1 participants are used to call all negative reviews for their company as paid and weak attempt to "ruin the innovative business scheme"

"To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme" that sentence is hilarious. Idk if I just suck at english but the way it's set up seems like it implies that it is an investment scheme. Take out the comma part and its just "To avoid any confusion Crowd1 is an investment scheme" Its like they're literally telling you they're a scam and people still buy into it
Oh god I remember how back in 2019 people around me were in too deep with crowd1. Everyone was joining the bandwagon, people inviting other for the $$$ and I almost bought into it due to peer pressure and the fear of missing out but my instinct knew that the entire premise of crowd1 was just a scam. I did my own research and discover that they don't actually have a product or services that they offer, technically they have a service but its "teaching" people about opportunities and that load of crap they say on their so called meetings. I really hate how they target the vulnerable to gain a lil bit of that dough, they straight up just flash you some fancy words so that you may think they are smart and know what they are doing. They call their ventures business opportunities but what happens in reality is that you're simply paying to get a ticket to hear a rich man tells his "rags to riches story" I also love how their members are so deluded they think that they'll get rich by inviting more people.
They call it “multi-level marketing” when you’re a part of it or they’re recruiting. Everyone ELSE calls it a pyramid scheme. That being said, join my-NO!
ever since the reddit gme every social media user wants to be part of the "next big thing", you just need to target those people and bot twitter followers
I think it just that scammers have realized that theres a LARGE pool of stupid gamers out there just waiting to be scammed....i mean with alot of the games nowadays you can say we already do and people come back for more. Its kind one of the perfect audiences to scam.
@@carto4028 True, because of the FOMO these scammers use, gamers are with the elderly on the most susceptible to these sort of pyramid and ponzi schemes.
I don't think I've seen something that's more a Pyramid Scheme than this. They charge you for things that you apps that do the exact same thing on the app store.
Some people don't choose to be socially awkward, through medical issues they just are, and it's because of those people that scammers like this deserve to rot in prison. Sick
I just watched this video again after 9 months and had forgotten about it, scrolled down to comment the EXACT same thing :') Well played past me, well played.
The way I was taught in school was that any sentence with a comma conjunction should still make sense without the conjunction being there. The “To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme” just becomes “To avoid any confusion, Crowd1 is an investment scheme”… well done
The "intended" sentence would be "To avoid any confusion, at no level is Crowd1 an investment scheme". By phrasing it in the way you mentioned, they are actually saying the opposite thing - in other words, the truth - and thus have plausible deniability of misleading customers into buying a pyramid scheme. "We told everyone it was a scam from the start!"
"I think some people just need to get scammed" Yep.. There are your Runescape dupe scams and the tf2 steam gift card scams, but at least the majority of us learn. I feel bad for the vulnerable people who repeatedly get scammed, chasing that fomo. It's so sad
I'm proud to say i never got scammed in games as a kid. Now that i think about it i think a guy stole a set of wings from me on MU Online by removing his item from the trade right before pressing ready. fuck.
I'm very glad that I as a young person was still able to look at all the NFT/Crypto shit and deduce "Yeah none of this is going to last or maintain any value"
Their disclaimer saying they aren't a pyramid scheme is worded incorrectly and they're in fact saying "Crowd1 is an investment scheme." Just take out the phrase in the commas.

I love the camera trick they do where they have a side-angle of the speaker to inject this false sense of authenticity. Reminds me of the skit in Inside when Bo Burnham had a gag where there was a third camera angle, even more skewed to the side. XD
Even though this stuff looks like more of a Ponzi scheme than a pyramid, pyramid schemes are usually referred to as multi-level marketing because pyramid schemes are illegal but MLMs are not by way of technicalities, therefore referring to what are technically-legal MLMs as really-illegal pyramid schemes in an official way can get you sued back into the Mesozoic era.

i caught that too lol. they couldnt even bother to proofread.
It is most likely on purpose as it could be beneficial for them if facing possible legal proceedings. What it wants you to think it says is: "To avoid any confusion, at no level IS Crowd1 an investment scheme", but the meaning of the sentence definitely is not the same even though in casual speech it seems like the same thing.
Lmao you cant even sue them
"Just to avoid any confusion...."
The irony is that sentence itself is confusing. Why would put that there in the first place? And its so poorly worded it that is can also be translated as "Crowd1 is an investment scheme".
Its almost as if they think because they disclose the scheme they can't be held accountable?
Legally if you disclose it at least in the United States you can't be held accountable

My mom was involved in this company, they call it "network marketing based". They say that Crowd1 is not a pyramid, because it has the product which participants can promote by inviting other people. The product, as I understand, is services of airline(name of which I can't remember) and this tournament platform.
Btw, Miggster's hosts promised to add well-known competitive esport disciplines and organise tournaments between famous teams *in the future* . So I remember how my brother actually finished one of these events in primitive yeti arcade in the top 3, maybe he even won there. He won the prize that was some shit like phonecase or socks, but he didn't received it even after calling support service lol
And yes, Crowd1 participants are used to call all negative reviews for their company as paid and weak attempt to "ruin the innovative business scheme"

Oh god I remember how back in 2019 people around me were in too deep with crowd1. Everyone was joining the bandwagon, people inviting other for the $$$ and I almost bought into it due to peer pressure and the fear of missing out but my instinct knew that the entire premise of crowd1 was just a scam. I did my own research and discover that they don't actually have a product or services that they offer, technically they have a service but its "teaching" people about opportunities and that load of crap they say on their so called meetings.
I really hate how they target the vulnerable to gain a lil bit of that dough, they straight up just flash you some fancy words so that you may think they are smart and know what they are doing. They call their ventures business opportunities but what happens in reality is that you're simply paying to get a ticket to hear a rich man tells his "rags to riches story" I also love how their members are so deluded they think that they'll get rich by inviting more people.
I think businesses like these could also be used as money laundering cause I cant believe people would spend up to 2500 euros to subscribe to this.
Good point mr Skeet
That makes sense.
I think some of it might be mental illness
Maybe a manic episode or something but def laundering
People do generally have this kind of money laying around. Top 30% of most countries
They call it “multi-level marketing” when you’re a part of it or they’re recruiting. Everyone ELSE calls it a pyramid scheme. That being said, join my-NO!

This is the entire reason why millenials talk about wanting a "common sense/life skills class" to be taught in school.
………. G good
Oh dear
Damn
This might actually help
So much effort went into the visuals of that trailer, and the games they showed for it were all flash games.
The way I was taught in school was that any sentence with a comma conjunction should still make sense without the conjunction being there. The “To avoid any confusion, at no level, Crowd1 is an investment scheme” just becomes “To avoid any confusion, Crowd1 is an investment scheme”… well done
They knew
The "intended" sentence would be "To avoid any confusion, at no level is Crowd1 an investment scheme". By phrasing it in the way you mentioned, they are actually saying the opposite thing - in other words, the truth - and thus have plausible deniability of misleading customers into buying a pyramid scheme. "We told everyone it was a scam from the start!"
Ya its a dumb pet peeve of mine when people use commas incorrectly. It messes up the flow of reading and the intent of the ideas presented.
"I think some people just need to get scammed" Yep.. There are your Runescape dupe scams and the tf2 steam gift card scams, but at least the majority of us learn. I feel bad for the vulnerable people who repeatedly get scammed, chasing that fomo. It's so sad

Even though this stuff looks like more of a Ponzi scheme than a pyramid, pyramid schemes are usually referred to as multi-level marketing because pyramid schemes are illegal but MLMs are not by way of technicalities, therefore referring to what are technically-legal MLMs as really-illegal pyramid schemes in an official way can get you sued back into the Mesozoic era.
