==Content==
He makes videos that discuss business, making more money, true crime, war/war scenarios, political power, and the future.
== Hypocrisy and scamming ==
Tran is known for having reduced the quality of his videos compared to those posted in the initial years of his channel, and increasingly displayed fraudulent or scam sponsors in his videos, which has raised criticism to his channel due to a large portion of his content being about recognizing crypto and corporate scams. 
In 2022, Tran released a video that had a scrapped NFT project as a sponsor. A couple weeks after the video, Tran released a video dedicated to avoiding NFT scams and the video was sponsored by The Cunning Wolf Society, a known NFT scam that is modeled after Bored Ape Yacht Club but with wolves instead of apes. Tran was heavily criticized for his hypocrisy and has even been accused of being a part of the inner workings of the CWS, but this is unconfirmed. 
In response to the criticism, Tran doubled down on NFTs and his previous proven fraudulent sponsors, and accused commenters and even other YouTubers (like Coffeezilla) who called him out of being "evil". Tran also defended himself by claiming that you need to partake in the same Machiavellian practices in order to make it in the world anyways. This lead to further criticism and confusion among his fans and others.
