BetterHelp and the Fake Licensed Counselors

• 1:04:06BetterHelp claims all counselors are licensed, then walks it back; Tim argues licensing doesn't matter much because counseling isn't hard and most licensed counselors are stupid anyway.
• 1:04:44Tim compares online counseling to a dating site where you might jerk off while calling someone to discuss your problems.
• 1:05:47The whole counseling industry is a scam; psychiatry and psychology are real, but counseling is fake—counselors just took a two-week certificate course, maybe after committing home invasions last year.
• 1:06:13Tim acknowledges people have messaged him saying BetterHelp actually worked for them, which he can't explain away.
• 1:07:11He refuses to blame TV shows for advertising Denny's after seeing violent incidents there, or to call Oprah when he found hair in his French onion soup at Friday's.
• 1:08:04There are two sides to every story: your side and the side that pays him money, and he has to listen to both.
• 1:08:29Tim won't advertise scams that haven't done a good job disguising themselves, and BetterHelp hasn't disguised it well enough.
• 1:09:48Serious psychological conditions require an actual counselor, but if you just want to masturbate over the phone without getting in trouble, go to BetterHelp.
