Opinions on Lets Get Rusty?

During the short period of time I've been writting rust code I've started getting a lot of LGR's videos recommended on my youtube page, and they proved to be really useful to understand some concepts, at least for me as begginer. It seemed like this guy really knew about the language so I naturally had a good first impression and started following him.

Around an hour ago, I watched one of his videos and followed a link in the description link to his "free rust training" out of curiosity. To my surprise it ends up being a webinar with "live classes" (pretty sure it was recorded) where he procceded to talk for +15 minutes about how his students earned hundreds and landed dreamed jobs through his training, about the common mistakes people make when trying to learn rust: "not investing in themselves", "working hard and not smart", "thinking learning rust is hard", about his friends that made the same mistakes that we were doing, and how we would have to make a key decision at the end of the course: "invest and keep learning or keep going down the path we were going that wasn't actually working". Naturally all this way of talking and fear inducing phrases came out as very blatant attemp at selling a bootcamp/course to me, that we all know doesnt work (at least to the extent they say it does).

My question is, was he always like this? Is there anyone that paid for the course and got some value out of it? Don't misinterpret me, I believe he knows how to code and that he can teach others, but this way of selling his course through a "free training" that was just half an hour of him inducing fear to listeners and trying to get desperate people to pay for an overpriced course (apparently $200+) and using the common way of talking traders and crypto bros have really gave me a bad impression. I don't think he should teach for free, but he could've spent that time actually showing or teaching something instead of shilling a course in an unethical way.
