It is not about the content of the courses it's about the marketing and tricks used to market these courses and the false claims.

If someone comes to me and says that my company in 8 months will be worth 10 000 million euros without knowing what I'm doing.

It is the same as what these scam artists are doing. in 30+ hours you will be a 1 million euro developer.

I don't know anybody how is that good smart.

Agreed. But, I believe you (and most people) are smart enough to know that "get rich overnight" is a scam by default. Isn't it? :)

Sadly not.

Just google "onecoin scam".

Also, these scam artists don't target developers but people who want to become developers and don't know anything about development.

Again I don't want to post any links here in public.

But basically they are on the same level as some other famoues youtubers with millions of followers.

They are just normaly not in the filter bubble of 'normal' developers.
