I used to hear about pickup artists all the time—books, forums, “negging,” the whole thing. Now it seems like they’ve vanished, and the only people left are “alpha male” influencers selling courses. Did the pickup artists go extinct, rebrand, or achieve enlightenment?

    Teach a man to attract women, and he’s not going to keep watching you’re shitty videos…

    So you give bad advice, knowing that it won’t work, hoping the stupidest still come back for more advice, then pivot to “you’re great bro, it’s everyone else’s fault they don’t see it”.

    And then you have a Stan that will watch all your videos, because everyone else calls them an idiot except the other people following that shit.

    Like…

    You say “conspiracy” like it’s some convulated crazy plan…

    It’s grifting 101…
