Question about those 'instant audience growth' courses for creators

I dropped $150 on a course last year that promised to get me 10k followers in a month. It was all generic advice I could find for free, like 'post consistently' and 'use hashtags'. The 'secret strategy' was just paying for ads, which I already knew about. Has anyone else been burned by these, or found a course that was actually worth the money?

$200 for a course from some guy named Alex, that's exactly what my brother did last year. He spent $150 on a guy who swore his editing trick would blow things up. Turns out the trick was just cutting out the pauses and adding text overlays. You can learn that watching a YouTube video on your lunch break, @milessmith. I'd rather spend that money on a new sprayer for work than gamble on another "guru".

My buddy took a $200 course from a guy named Alex and it totally changed his channel. He learned a specific way to edit his first 30 seconds that doubled his views. Sometimes you just need someone to show you the exact steps.

Honestly my cousin did something like that last year. She paid for a cheap editing guide and her watch time went up like crazy. It's wild how one small change can make such a big difference.
