I mean, if you enjoy influencer B attacking the more popular influencer A as infotainment for 34 minutes of your day, by all means, consume away. I just see it as both these dudes are trying to build a brand and following that they can profiteer from — whether they are paid directly by their audience or by advertisers looking to reach their audience.
I say fuck em both. If $100 is so vast an amount of money that you have to legitimately forego groceries for the week after giving it to Rick Beato as influencer B uses to position his criticisms, holy shit, you shouldn’t be spending any time or money on either of these dudes. You should be spending it with Dave Ramsey to teach you how not to be a dumbass with money.
And if you do have $100 to spend on improving your ability with a guitar, go pay for 2-4 private lessons with a local musician better than you. You’ll learn more, develop a connection if not a friend and help a local musician make a buck from their musical knowledge.
