"You can almost hear all the butts clenching around the word as we mention it" is one of those tells that this was written by someone without a strong grasp of English, probably using an AI, read by someone who will say whatever is put in front of her as long as the Venmos keep arriving

Comment from : @chuckwagon3718

Honestly I was a Fan of AluxBecause it was clearly obvious that this whole channel was a satireI mean no one could make such idiotic, neoconservative, lying crap as serious videosuntil I realised that they were deadly-serious
Comment from : @TOFKAS01

Henry looks SO nervous How am I not seeing this until now? This is so, so funny This video made me laugh more consistently than most stand-up specials I've seen recently You guys are so funny together

Comment from : @curiousseal5960

In your attempt to discredit this admitedly vapid channel you are throwing the baby out with the bath water brIn the days of the Gig economy an LLC makes a lot of sense for many people You can legit expense an electric bicycle you are primarily using to make deliveries That super warm jacket and gloves to help with the NYC winter Even the high petformance undergarments The tolls if you are driving in / around the city (Not an accountant, not financial advise)brbrAlso - OBVIOUSLY this is an aspirational wealth pron channel But they are right that even on a straight top lawyer salary (unless you are a part of a big practice) - you are not getting a private jet Lets say you bill 2000 hours per year and make 2000 dollars per hour That is 4mil At ordinary income taxes and nyc taxes that is less than 1mil take home A NetJets subscription of 50 hours on a light jet is 350k You are just not splashing that kind of money for ipersonal/i expenses brbrNot saying anyone should be flying a private jet - but if tou aspire to - you reallly need to take home north of a mil and maybe five

I cannot describe how much I hate the smug voice of this Alux person Like 'I'm just better than you It's a fact and we both know it's 🤮
Comment from : @henrikejekel2247

Love seeing you two Ya'll have great chemistry
Comment from : @tonimojo5859

I remember my first (and last) alux video It was recommended to me by a relative The very first point was to take advice from "successful" and "intelligent" people the afornentioned relative lost most of his life's savings, his house, and his family after letting two people convince him that his wife had been cheating on himbrbrBtw, these two people were his gym buddy he had just met 4 months prior, who ALSO just happened to be a divorce attorney, and even gave him a buddy "discount", AND the woman HE had been cheating his wife with oh, and did I mention his wife was a REAL lawyer and even explained to him HOW he was being scammed (more than once)?brbrI'm just glad this happened when it was still possible to use YT add blocks

Big Joel!!!
Comment from : @adrianguinn3331

The clips of that video seemed like satire
Comment from : @alexi3414

Plot twist: I feel like those videos were created with scripts written by chat GPT, audio created by AI, and video created by something like Pictory

Alux is 100 right on inflation Money printing is inflationary More money in circulation results in higher prices …

Doctors and Lawyers get paid for their knowledge and skills Lawyers have high overhead They don't pocket 800 an hour, they pay paralegal and secretarial support, benefits for their staff, rent for office space, multiple kinds of insurance, and costs to maintain their licensure, etc Most doctors are employees, not business owners (last I checked more than 70 percent)
Comment from : @DS-nb5cz

The Alux channel does not consider drs and other high level professionals “rich” so much as upper middle class They are deliberately appealing to the delusion that everyone can be Elon musk

Did Sam Bankman-Fried watch alux? If the reward is greater than the risk take the risk, is literally what put him on the stand in his own trial
Comment from : @spantigre3190

Damn I remember watching that channel in high school lol
Comment from : @Angryeddie14

If I can admit something silly, I used to binge ALLUX at my lowes point, thinking I was going to get inspire and star something great Of course it didn't work my depression got wrose, I stoped eating Until my family came by and gelp me (Which I though was not going to happen) So yes, fuck alux 😊❤
Comment from : @MsTiticat

A-Lux is a brilliant, genius! They use stock footage and blather on - and millions of people watch this rubbish and make THEM rich!

"You can't even buy a piece of canvas with two colors on it"brbrYou can buy a canvas of any size and paint in two colors, so this logic fails to hold up You can even pay someone to do all of the shopping and assembly

I'm tired of hearing "mediocre" referred to as a failure state By definition, half of any field will never rise to the level of mediocrity
Comment from : @Nerdsammich

I watched Alux and while it has flaws, you can get some gold nuggets from their video but you both seemed more concerned about the "bad" advice than the good For example, people who belittle or discourage your dreams aren't worth your time because while there's no guarantee of making it there's also no reason why you shouldn't pursue your dreams as long as you are practical in doing so Sometimes Alux isn't practical, but when it comes to ignoring the naysayers out there and taking risk and getting out of your comfort zone, they're 100 right about that and ignoring that fact and laughing at them for it just makes you both look worse than AluxbrbrAlux gives some bad advice sometimes but you both also make bad advice or argue facts because content creators you don't like said them It's unprofessional for a financial channel
Comment from : @angietori

You two commentating together are gold 🎉

Comment from : @khirstenh4550

Thanks for the review guys I work in finance and i felt alarmed watching one of their videos It’s worrying that a lot of people actually listen to this and form life strategies out of it Tax evasion is illegal and shouldn’t be taken lightly
Comment from : @allaboardthegravytrain5987

Y’all are my favorite duo always laughing and dragging i love it! My one comment to those silly videos are what if i don’t want to be rich got damn im just tryna afford some vacations and small luxuries!!!
Comment from : @carlgrimeseyepatch27

Alux gives good self help emotional advice but their financial advice leaves alot to be desired
Comment from : @GbyP

I dont think the narrator runs the channel, or even writes the scripts for that matter, so what the fuck is happening in her brain that she scrolls past everything she is reading?? Maybe she believes this bullshit, too
Comment from : @MiketheNerdRanger

Am I on glue or has it been harder to find dates on Youtube videos? Using "this amount of time ago" as opposed to a date is bad enough but now when the video opens and starts playing you can't even see that! Or maybe I'm just getting old and blind
Comment from : @saragsoswift

As a Canadian, I'm totally scared that I sound like this I'm pretty sure I don't though- so I'm actually just offended :)

People are disproportionally rewarded for their contributions to society I think a nurse offers more to our communities and society than Jeff Bezos does

Comment from : @madvillainy6845

"BUCKLE UP SNOWFLAKES, BECAUSE THIS ONE'S GONNA BE A RAUCOUS HOEDOWN!" 💀💀brI've seen a few of their vids in passing over the last few years and I swear they say some of the most fucking buckwild shit I've ever heard, they're practically gaslighting and/or brainwashing people with the nonsense that they'll occasionally wrap in an objectively true statement or concept and vice versa
Comment from : @atlys258

I think that the narration is just very good AI it's not human narration, that's why it has such weird cadence
Comment from : @nadiacalembe1546

The worst was her trying to sound happy while doing the video about how feminism & the pay gap are fake

listening to the voice in the video made my face hurt
Comment from : @Katie-rq7bv

I think when I saw that alux video I commented on the stupid commentit is a close minded video
Comment from : @Rosetteismyname

What a simple concept for a YouTube channel! You just create content that tears other peoples ideas apart and is only full of criticism Nothing about this makes me trust you This is super disappointing to watch You are unknowingly promoting the stereotype of the angry single liberal woman with a chip on their shoulder

This is very random but the woman voicing this ALUX video sounds exactly like the English voice actor for Jesse in Pokemon Just some food for thought

True, I don't want to be rich, and I'm not - by North American standards brThese people (Alux) seem to be Ayn Rand disciples
