Let me be clear by saying this is not a scam, but this is an over promise. Now my financial loss is on me, the sales guy slipped in the initial interview, and I did not act on it. They do the hard close and the FOMO straight from the textbook, but where I really failed is when the sales person said yes it would be nice to make $10k, oops, I mean it is nice. I am not sure why I let that slip, I guess I just had FOMO. I joined in November(23) and the sales person said I would be monetized most likely by February or March of 2024. They promised coaching and support to get there, but that never happened. I was forgotten in a sea of students. The "coaching" was community coaching where you largely did not get help. Some of the staff sort of seemed to care and to be fair the big man did do a one on one consultation up front. That said you can tell he is a TRW student, he matches many of Tates trends, which makes sense as Tate is super viral, but he tries too hard to be aloof. The few bits of feedback I got were much more attempting to be aloof then genuinely caring about my success. You are left to flounder alone until you give up or go your own way. You can only be insulted so many times before you drop it. They did try to over charge me when I dropped payments, but no biggy I put a do not honor on the company. It wasn't that much, maybe $1000, but it still bugs me. You can also tell for sure he did not make millions ahead of launching this course because just like his sales person you could tell when he bought his first nice car he was not used to that. He did what so many other people, see Tate, did by faking it until they made it. There is 0% chance he ever had a channel worth its time and nutty history was most likely his first attempt that actually might have gone into the black. It is not a scam, I do have to emphasize that, but the value is not there. You could easily spend the better amount of 10k, for value you could get for free. I know the sales pitch of ours is ordered and quicker, but thats simply not true. Plenty of other cheaper or free and better options including AI that would get you further faster. Seriously GPT could get you to a profitable channel faster than all the coaches combined in this course. The video that sucked me in was the trend of people dumber than you are making more money. That is very true because the main character in this course is a surfer bro who butchers English, but is indeed making more money than I am. Hes smart in his own way, but you do not get the value they promised. The fakery is fine, its just marketing, but I do wish they would actually deliver on what they sell. This course was a massive let down and heartache. They succeeded in selling me the dream and failed to deliver even the most basic of services. Complete let down and ultimately waste of time. Edit: Response to Devon First of all my name is not Kalon, this is not an episode of the Orville. Second, I made all payments except the last one. We deferred a full payment in my second to last month for the lower final month payment that I would have needed to pay the next month. That final month would have been $1400, but you wanted to charge me double so I said do not honor this. I have receipts and I am more than happy to show them. Your “team”, no idea where the initial sales guy or the initial members went, did start to reach out to me later. However it was not the next month, see Devon getting my name wrong for proof of how people dumber than you can in fact make more money. I did blow you guys off because you, YOU, did not deliver. I attended all the coaching and they were commie nonsense. There was 0 one on one help after the initial consultation. Your sales guy made fake promises and that is the entire picture. You were so busy worried about being Mr. Cool you forgot to be a good teacher. Now this lie of a response, where you got my name wrong, and accused me of not paying you over $5k is on you. I have the receipts and I paid up until you people got shady, oh I should so show this to your new “how to make money as a christian” friends. Here is the meat of the matter, you did not deliver, you let a student down and then you lazily lied about it. In light of your response I am going to now say with full confidence this is a scam. You failed, have fun being rich for a time. For anyone reading this Youtube is cracking down on Devons methods and you will not be monetized. He will sell you a dream and pull the rug out. Do yourself a favor and be true to your own vision. Do your thing and avoid predators like this lying dog.
Response from Become ViralAug 10, 2025
Hi Kalon, I appreciate you clarifying this isn’t a scam, but I do need to address the gaps and misrepresentations in your review so future readers have the full picture. You joined our program in November 2023, paid only your first month (of a payment plan you agreed to) and then stopped making payments by December. Over the following months, our team reached out more than a dozen times by email, text, and calls to get you re-engaged and onto your onboarding call... which you never attended. You did not participate in the coaching or complete the steps needed to reach monetization because you were unresponsive. We even sent multiple final notices that you would be offboarded if you didn’t respond. After more than five months of ghosting our team and not making payments, we offboarded you from the program. I understand you were disappointed, but it’s important to be clear: We offered the coaching and resources promised. You chose not to use them. The reason you didn’t see results is because you never engaged with the process after joining. We followed all payment and cancellation policies as agreed upon at signup. Our students who attend onboarding, show up for calls, and follow the process do get the results we promise. I wish you had given yourself the chance to do the same. — Devon
