An ad pops up on YouTube where a white male is purporting that you can make passive income using "Audible Uploads" all just by publishing a book "that I didn't even think I wanted to publish" (or something like that). He mentions he wishes it were his idea, but it's not -- it's these others idea (the Mikkelsen twins, whoever they are). A couple minutes later, the ad is over, but I had to pause right there and look this up. Sounds like a scam.

The 2nd of two ads comes on. Same product, but different spokesperson. This one's a black female. Same thing: not her idea, but the twins'.

At this point, it's clear that the twins are behind the ad, and after a little research you discover that someone took their 'free course' where, long story short, she discovered how you do this is get someone else to write the book, someone else to voice it, and everyone gives you all the rights to this book.

Then, you publish said book and make moolah goolah. You know, "a book I didn't even think I wanted to publish."

Ah, people. Whoever's voicing all these books... either has no idea or doesn't care.
