If you browse this chamber daily, you've likely seen this post pop up at least once. Every couple of days it seems to be the exact same type of post that trends to the top.<br><br>"How I made [599,999.5 here] in [7 here] years"<br><br>or <br><br>"I spent [300 here] hours out of college and now make [599,999.5 here]!"<br><br>And then the body is some generic, barely more than couple paragraph thing about how to do this. Here's the thing, it's always the exact same type of post. <br><br>If you have never seen the movie zoolander, there's a great quote from that movie that I think applies to these posts. "What is this? A [insert thing here] for ants?"<br><br>"What is this? A seven figure salary for ants?"<br><br>These posts never make sense. "I spent [300 here] hours out of college and now make [599,999.5 here]!" That's completely unrealistic. And they always manage to somehow be so vague in the details. <br><br>The other type of these posts are the "I started with [50k here] and now I'm making seven figures" type of posts. I need to know more about the "I started with" part. How did you get to make seven figures? And what is that job that you get to make this money in? <br><br>I feel like there needs to be some sort of rule where every post that promises to make seven figures MUST include the exact job title.
