Key Quote:

“’Pag ganyan kasi, ‘yung mga bagong papasok sa space, (sa) sobrang excited iisipin nila pwede kumita ng ganito ganyan tapos in the end, biglang walang nakuha. Oo, wala naman silang nilabas (na pera) but ‘yun yung false marketing, for clickbait, for views, (and) for invites. Pwede naman tayo mag invite na sinasabi natin ‘yung totoo na hindi naman siguradong kikita rito, it is a possibility only, nothing is promised.”

[Translation: “Newcomers might think they can earn a lot, but then end up with nothing. That’s false marketing for clickbait, views, and invites. We should tell the truth—that earnings are not guaranteed, it’s only a possibility.”]
