OK, I don’t watch this guy’s stuff all the time but he seems smart and he shines light on bullshit. This video is about a youtuber Cody “Whistlin’ Diesel” allegedly day trading with some guy named Alex. As you can imagine, Alex is selling a scam.

FOREX is no joke and there is apparently an entire industry of people scamming financial newbies with prop accounts. That’s terrifying. If you’re thinking about your money and want to make some quick, please avoid this bullshit.

    Whistlin’ Diesel is friends with, and defends, the Paul brothers. You don’t need to know any more than that to not trust his opinions (whether they’re ill-intentioned or not).

        Doesn’t surprise me lol. One look at the channel and you could make an educated guess on where he lands on the political spectrum, but I try not to judge based solely on stereotypes. I only watched a handful of videos and after he defended his friendship with one of the Paul brothers (I forget which one) is when I decided there were better YT’ers to support with my views. Thank you for confirming my suspicions though.

          If we’re looking for hosts who just have their crew do builds for them and they’re just the personality I’m going Westin Chaplin for a nicer redneck.

      Yeah, he’s a moron but he knows (or used to know) how to massage diesel trucks to make them go VROOOOOOM

      I watched that dude’s channel back in the day but then he went woke or something so I don’t like him anymore. Just kidding, I quit watching when the content went away from GearTube and into Sponsored by Monster Energy.
