What if the content helps to generate more car sales?

Blasting people's personal finance issues over the entire internet isn't very professional of them.

there are quite a few guys on YT and IG creating similar contents. i don't know if these stories are true (maybe they are making these up to generate views) but some of these stories are just straight out crazy. people should really get a better sense of math before they get themselves into debts.

They do a ton of business all over the country from those YT videos. In my business agents make similar videos and they generate a ton of business, I have two agents that are very good at it, one does about $10M in sales just from his YT channel and the other foes about $6M in sales just from her channel. Oh and their channels also bring in money. Thats the #1 to reach consumers in 2026.

No way to identify who they are talking about.

Too bad these instadealer guys aren't showing how the utterly F unsuspecting people over more often than not.

Like the guy years ago who told my mother her 830+ credit score was not good enough to get the special Toyota 0.9% financing on the Avalon they had sitting on their lot for 6 months.
He also tried to get her to sign off on her mint condition low mile trade-in (paid off) for $7,000 less than what they were going through the auction.

From then on I do all her car deals. She just walks in and the paperwork is ready.

Debt can be a good tool but holy hell some people don't do math or have a plan to use it!
