TL;DR for those who don't have 30 mins.

He spends 30 mins telling you to get good at the game and get lucky buying things early in bulk and resell later AKA gamble. He talks about identifying what people are going to want for meta builds before they are meta. Basically like every other "become rich" video you'll see. Just read minds is apparently the key.

That's a really ignorant mischaracterization. If it was just luck and "mindreading" then the same players wouldn't be in the top 0.1% every single league. It's weird that no matter how much evidence some people are shown, they refuse to believe in reality. You have some weird mental block, that's causing you to defend your beliefs, no matter what you see. You are in control of how much currency you make, and learning the things mentioned in the video is the key to getting better at it, but it's your prerogative to not believe it and stay poor I guess. It's just disappointing to see that some people choose to not accept help, because it conflicts with their opinions.

You exalt slam an item
I exalt slam an exact copy of that item
You get an insane outcome
I get garbage outcome

This is the definition of a gamble. Just like how predicting what people are going to want later is a gamble.

Your entire first section is about snagging up a few uniques for a couple ex that sold for a div or more per after a week. You guessed which items would be hot and won.

Game knowledge section is the "get good" part I was referring to in my first comment

Practical advice is the typical stuff you hear from other get rich videos. Set price tabs and just dump and lower as stuff sits. I can't remember if you mentioned renaming your tabs when you first login to make sure you're hitting live searches or not (if you did, cool. If not, may want to include it). You then go onto examples where you pick the obvious decent pieces with resist, high defensives, etc common stuff everyone should look for and, stay with me now, you exalt them. You hope for insane rolls. You call this "crafting" but its actual definition is gambling. If we are going off the Merriam-Webster definition of crafting it would be "to make or produce with care, skill, or ingenuity". Does it sound like we are making or producing something with skill or ingenuity? No, because its random. If you ask me why you can consistently do it I don't honestly have an answer because it doesn't make sense. Good guessing each league, I guess?

Get rich guides don't work because we can do the exact same thing in the game and have different outcomes.

For fun I'm including the definition of gambling with added poe terms for clarity:
The practice or activity of betting : the practice of risking money (poe currency) or other stakes in a game or bet (your "crafting" system)

I saw this video pop up on my feed so I figured I'd listen to it while I struggled with my insomnia.

Not even 3 minutes in and the condescending and rude comments made me turn it off, after clicking that dislike button and I almost never click the like/dislike buttons on YT vids.

Do better.
