I completely agree, and I'm in the same boat. I used to watch every single episode but now I drop in every few weeks or so for the exact things you mentioned.

I've battled with myself to give them grace and let them live out their dream. But for me it's HARD for them to be so unabashedly capitalist. They're completely agnostic about investing in unethical companies, bigging up unethical people, shit they even let quearionable guests come on the show and shill snake oil. They've let scammers like Jay Morrison and niggas like Him300 give illegal advice.

Black Americans always default to "But white people do it too!!!" when it comes to calling out Black scammers, or even criminals in general (Talk about R. Kelly and Bill Cosby with Black people and they'll say "what about Harvey Weinstein?" eventually).

Allowing the worst white people to be our barometer for what's acceptable is gross, and it should be beneath us.

But ultimately, this is America. The only thing that matters to Americans is money. Poor people are treated like shit, exploited, and are at risk of dying earlier. The United States has no soul outside of Black people and the indigenous, and neither one of us are in control. Since we cannot change the rules of the game, we have no choice but to play.

I think there's a decent amount about the EYL niggas that's seeming a little unsavory. But I can't fully shit on them because, ethics aside, financial literacy is a survival tactic in 2021 America. This country will absolutely leave you behind.
