    I made it 0:59 seconds before I turned it off. Pretty sure you need some personality to successfully manipulate people. This guy had none.

    Everybody wants their own Youtube channel now to make money. This guy is lackluster in just about every way.

    Not to mention he pretty much hit the 10,000 ft overview with no real info. "Here are the types of social engineering they can do." Hardly scratched the surface with anything of substance.

    I thought the video was about worthless too. Some of his other videos aren't bad and actually share useful information. This video wasn't one of them.

    Start by learning what social engineering is. He'd do well by doing that.

    Yeah, I was kinda wondering how social engineering would be worked into that vid too. You can give anybody a URL and a camera, and it doesn't make them any less of an idiot.

    Speak in such a way that nobody listens and you may become the social gray man.

    The guy in the video just showed you how. Did everyone learn?
    Dude. Very meta.

    Problem is, "gray man" and "average idiot" are 2 different ways to blend in.

    The former is someone doing so intentionally. The latter is simply part of the mean.

    1. If you hadn't quoted me, how many would have even seen what I posted out in the open here?

    2. No need to encrypt your newsletter, just make it seem unappealing or dumb to the casual observer. Just couch the important info between dumb and unappealing bookends and you can post it in public without any serious backlash.

    3. ???

    4. Profit.

    ;)

    Please don't quote me further (I'll handle that), this is just for folks who don't already have me on ignore:

    I give you:

    Exhibit A

    Who has seen it? It appeared 3 days ago, right out in the open, and I haven't even heard from the MODs

    ...yet. :):

    Couched between unappealing and dumb.

    Interested parties might have found it before now.

    Social gray man engineering, indeed. ;)
