I think it's a lot more complicated than a simple yes/no answer, but there absolutely is an element of pyramid scheme vibes to it.
It's not helped by the fakers who's entire business success is selling how to be successful. Almost all the books, courses, private groups, coaching, etc are aimed at people who think they can be the one that makes it, and that these people are their path to learning how to be successful. In reality 99% of them spend a small fortune on all this crap and end up failing.
I think what makes it worse is you get a lot of people that fool themselves into believing and trusting these people they've paid. They'll come to posts like this and defend them even with overwhelming evidence showing them its all a big scam.
