Defend him from what exactly? There was literally no controversy until people started defending him from the controversy. The only person who won here is Daniel Vassallo, whose low effort post went viral because people kept sharing it to show how stupid it was, thus drawing more eyeballs to his $400 "I will teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur" course on X (because of course he has one).

Really? He has a course like that? Sounds like Vassallo is selling way more Snake oil than he claims ill intentions with MKBHD.

  After a while of following him, some bot on his account DMs me about some crypto or whatever stuff.

    Sorry but this is a lie. I don’t have bots and I don’t do crypto. Think before you make public accusations.

  He doesn't sell snake oil at all, what he teaches works, is down to earth and pragmatic. He also has amazing guest lectures from folks highly regarded in the community.

    > what he teaches works You sound like the guy standing next to the street hustler telling you about how he actually got paid.

      And ad hominem attacks mean you don’t have anything valid to say :-)

> thus drawing more eyeballs to his $400 "I will teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur" course on X (because of course he has one). Just a voice in support of Daniel here as this is a bit of a mischaracterisation. He’s a really nice, gentle guy, who runs a small online community called Small Bets which I would characterise as the opposite of a “I will teach you to be rich” course. (I’m a satisfied paid member). I don’t have an opinion on his tweet but both he and MKBHD are equally entitled to share their (strong) opinions on things.

  Yeah, that really puts him in a much better light. Totally. For real. Btw, kinda on-topic: did you notice this discussion yesterday? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40051597 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40051597

    Nothing to do with this, quite the opposite.

      Right, a person running a group called "small bets" has no relation to people getting simps to gamble their money away. I'm sure you're right, you are not a simp after all! Btw, ever heard of the duck test? > If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I don't see a button to reply to your comment below, but I'd suggest going to smallbets.com to actually see what this is all about, instead of random guesses about gambling. Also, calling someone a "simp" is a sign of immaturity, just so you know.
