The Dark Secret Behind Those Omaze Giveaways - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈If you have watched YouTube
 at all
 in the last year or so you have no doubt know what Omaze is
For the few of you who don’t, they are an organisation that promotes lotteries for all manner of different items and experiences, ranging anywhere from a chance to win a Lamborghini all the way to an exclusive Star Wars set tour before it hit theatres.This all sounds very cool especially when it is revealed that all of the proceeds from these lotteries go on to support charities. To date the company has raised over 130 MILLION DOLLARS for charities that do everything from providing scholarships to orphaned children, to installing solar power in remote African communities.Surely it would be pretty hard to hate on an organisation like this right?Well
You see despite this chirpy exterior of flashy cars and warm fuzzies, Omaze is hiding a pretty dark secret. So it’s time to learn how your money works in these raffled because also reveals a lot about how an alarming amount of charitable organizations conduct themselves in the modern day.So before we go any further the first thing you need to know about is that it is a For Profit Institution, which means that its primary goal is not to feed the homeless or save the spotted owl, it’s to make money
It makes this money by representing organizations that are themselves non profits, but they are not one themselves.Now there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this, if feeding America held a charity gala in a Hilton Hotel nobody would have any issues with Hilton hotels later going on to turn a profit that’s fine.Where Omaze starts to push it’s luck though is that it really doesn’t make any effort to stress this relationship.Just think, when your favorite YouTuber was talking about a car giveaway, they probably spoke a lot about Omaze, and the great work it was doing, but just think, do you remember any of the charities that these charities were actually meant to fund?If you do, you certainly have a better memory than me.This is no accident.The company spends millions of dollars on marketing every year and trust me if they wanted you to hear about the actual non-profits, you would have heard about the actual non-profits.The company would instead like for you to conflate with saving the children, more so than running lotteries to make fat stacks, and trust me they do make fat stacks.#Omaze #NonProfit #HowMoneyWorksOmaze lottery fund raising raffle giveaway some lamborghinis and ferraris to winners of this entry free prize money and then money towards good causes and local charities.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Is The Federal Reserve Bank Profitable?! - How Money Works | How Money Works

Is The Federal Reserve Bank Profitable?! - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The federal reserve bank has found itself as the center of attention in recent months, what with everything from, money printer Meme's to “the future of capitalism as we know” on the line, the fed has obviously been an incredibly influential entity.But it’s also something that most people really don’t know much about, or worse
 think they know a lot about when they really don’t.But that’s ok because the federal reserve bank is a bank, so the best way to get to really get a good understanding of how it works is just to follow the money and answer a simple question, Is the reserve bank profitable?Now because I hate YouTube video’s than needlessly drag out a question to get their average watch time up the short answer is.. Yes, Massively Profitable, it’s actually the most profitable organization in the world after recently beating out Saudi Aramco.But don’t click away yet
 For starters I need that average watch time too, but more importantly, finding out how money works to generate massive profits at the federal reserve bank will teach you a lot about how this almost mythical institution actually operates day to day.#FederalReserve #QE #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

EVE Online's Self Imposed Economic Collapse - How Money Works | How Money Works

EVE Online's Self Imposed Economic Collapse - How Money WorksA few years ago the galaxy within EVE Online was facing a problem. Abundance. An abundance of materials, an abundance of fuel, an abundance of high paying income sources, and an abundance of safe space to harvest these materials, fuels and space dollars. Now while that might sound like a really good problem to have, (and it would be in the real world) It does cause some problems in a video game. The biggest problem simply being that is boring. Try playing GTA 5 with god mode hacks turned on, after punching some fighter jets out of the sky you are going to get bored pretty fast, and people WERE getting bored. The largest groups in EVE online were up until recently playing a game of “build as much as you possibly can so it becomes almost impossible for any smaller group to ever catch up”. #EVEOnline #Finance #HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Part 1 - https://youtu.be/m6j_UsGJnkQ Part 2 - https://youtu.be/2t25bsqlTM8 Part 3 - https://youtu.be/ijhAILUNz_s Music by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original Soundtrack Sign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2 (This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
