> Apparently, you've never watched those start-up tutorials sold on YouTube.

I have not. Probably because they simply aren't a significant part of tech or startup culture.

Not to you. Kids starting will easily believe that is startup culture.

The same MLM scam ads exist for becoming a cryptocurrency investor.

Kids will also easily believe that is cryptocurrencies.

I don't understand how no-true-scotsmanning "startup culture" is helping either.

> A no true Scotsman fallacy, or appeal to purity, is a fallacy where the one arguing says or writes that all people belonging to a certain group have the same trait, and those in that group who do not share that trait are not really part of that group.

Care to point out where I made any universal claims about startup culture?

"Those MLM videos dont represent real startup/tech culture"

For the record, I agree with you.
