 common comments i see is you guys asking me for money so i finally figured out a way to get all of you guys money i sound like a scam but this is a scam listen my son is 11 years old and he's insanely good with money for his age as someone who grew up broke and never learned how to be responsible with money i've tried to help teach him what i wish i knew as you know kids are ripe for the picking when it comes to getting scammed out of money so i try to teach my son critical thinking skills so he can be better with his money not all children or even adults are able to sit back and take a look at situations with a skeptical eye and that's why it's important that we discuss this new david dobrik a hundred thousand dollar puzzle giveaway a lot of people are going to get scammed out of money due to the gamification and gambling aspect of this giveaway so i wanted to break it down so people can make better decisions for the five of you who don't know who david dobrik is he started out on vine and then he became a massive youtuber david has over 18.6 million subscribers on youtube and he's known for giving away insane amounts of money and buying people cars recently he's taken a bit of a hiatus from youtube and has focused on tiktok where he's amassed over 24 million followers personally i think david dobrik is a good person but sometimes the fame and money can make you do some unethical things today he announced that he's doing a 100 thousand dollar giveaway and something that i've always taught my son is that if it seems too good to be true then it probably is on the surface this just looks like another instance of david dobrik trying to give away a bunch of money but upon further inspection he's doing it in a way that people have been cancelled over common comments i see is you guys asking me for money so i finally figured out a way to get all of you guys money i sound like a scam but this is a scam listen maybe this puzzle it's called a hundred thousand dollar puzzle by david dobrik that's me so this is how it works you get the puzzle you start building it takes a while how long it takes a long time you don't even have a cheat sheet to do it when you're done you take your camera on your phone just like that and then you scan it the qr code and look now it'll load your prize and you're going to 100 win anywhere from 25 cents to a hundred thousand dollars and i won 25 cents you guys can swipe up right now and get this puzzle for yourself or for a friend for christmas and do me a favor when you scan the qr code record your reaction because one person is going to win a hundred thousand dollars so when i first saw this i gave david the benefit of the doubt but i was skeptical as well when we see an opportunity like this we need to calm down our system one engage our system two thinking nobel prize winner daniel kahneman says our system one thinking is our fast intuitive thinking while system two is more reflective far too often we make decisions based on system one thinking rather than really taking a step back to analyze the situation the first question i asked myself was is this puzzle free because david is a businessman and he's made millions of dollars due to his business savvy so will he just be giving away 100 000 dollars of course not when you go to the website the first button you see is buy now which takes you to a page where you can buy the puzzle for 30 plus six dollars shipping not only that but you can buy more than one puzzle how many puzzles you can buy i decided to see how many and there doesn't seem to be any limit as you could see i don't know what the cost of each puzzle is to make but i'm guessing there's a decent margin since the average puzzle at walmart is between eight dollars and ten dollars so even if each puzzle costs david ten dollars to make that's a 200 markup and there's a good chance that these puzzles are going to cost far less than that to produce looking at david doberk's follower account he only needs a small fraction of people to buy one puzzle from him to make a massive profit off of this quote unquote giveaway if even one percent of his tiktok following buys just one puzzle that's 240 000 puzzles sold multiply that by 30 dollars and that's 7.2 million dollars well what if what if less than one percent of his followers buy the puzzle even at 0.05 percent that's 3.6 million dollars for a 100 000 giveaway and we're not even taking into consideration that people can buy more than one puzzle which brings us to our final point which is that this is gambling i live in los vegas the home of gambling so trust me when i say that i know gambling when i see it here we don't have a state lottery like many other states but what david doberk is doing is no different than buying a 30 dollar lottery ticket the only difference is that david doberk has gamified the process to make it seem fun while people are going to waste their money on taking this gamble rather than buying a lottery ticket for a few bucks with the chance to win millions of dollars david doberk is making people think it's a steal to buy a 30 puzzle that you have to put together in order to maybe win a hundred thousand dollars the craziest part about this is that this isn't new just two years ago in december of 2018 rice gum and jake paul were promoting gambling to children in the form of mystery boxes if you don't remember these shady websites were sponsoring youtube videos to have them trick kids into buying mystery boxes that may or may not have awesome prizes in them the entire internet came after jake paul and rice gum for promoting gambling to children and now we see david doberk doing the exact same thing under the guise of a quote unquote giveaway this year we've seen many youtubers like jenna marbles take a break from the platform after getting hatred for things she's done in the past notably donna from psych irl has seen this coming and has predicted that she thinks david doberk might be next because he's made some insensitive jokes in the past as well while we're still not sure if that will happen this definitely isn't a good look for david doberk what's sad is that he's built a platform around having fun and helping others and it's made the community trust him when david doberk says he's doing a giveaway people don't think twice and wonder how they can get in on it due to the quote unquote nice guy clout that he's built he can pull a stunt like this and who knows how much money people are going to waste on this lottery disguised as a giveaway david doberk stands to make millions of dollars from this puzzle and i think what frustrates me the most is that we're in the middle of a pandemic still millions of americans are unemployed and can barely put food on the table we're also coming up on the holidays and many families can't afford to buy gifts for each other meanwhile david doberk has shown up to give people false hope and now they're going to waste what little money they have on a lottery all right everybody like i said i have an 11 year old son but guess what i'm not your dad okay if you want to buy this puzzle if you want to pay 30 for this puzzle do your thing boo but you are gambling right like you might as well just go to just wait for mcdonald's to do the monopoly thing again and just get like a bunch of fries and try peeling the little things and do that that's a cheaper better way to do a little gamification all right but yeah this is gambling and i i don't like i don't like doing that thing that everybody does like oh he's promoting this to children like on the website it says you have to be uh 18 or uh 18 years or older to cash in on the prize but obviously like kids can do it and then their parents can plan the prize and da da da da right but yeah like like this is something like i said i'm 35 years old and i was an idiot with my money for many many years so like we always do with this channel we're here to try some critical thinking and practice skepticism and like like i said like i try to teach this to my son like really take a look back how much of my spending on this is it worth it doesn't make sense you know and just kind of break it down and really use that system to thinking you know what i mean but i think this is really shady and pretty scummy so i don't know like i said i'm not your dad but you know as a friend as a friend don't buy this puzzle all right get your loved ones a christmas gift instead and save yourself 30 dollars all right but anyways that's
