>Imagine seeing a PDF proving tobacco leaders knew for decades that it caused cancer and saying what you did.

The difference is the game he's playing (youtube) is similar to the game we're playing (startups) so the success is tantamount.

The game tobacco companies play is also very different, so the tobacco companies success will teach you very little about being successful in startups.

Personally the game I’m playing (building an effective edtech company) is probably less similar to the game he is playing (running illegal lotteries targeted at children) than the game Tabacco companies play (lean heavily on branding, marketing, and trying to control the academic narrative).
