so basically my friend is a american grocery bagger, he had a schizo episode and decided to drop out from school and be a poet.

so he yeah, they pestering to review his poetry and im like huh?
I dont even understand it, i put it on chatgpt and the ai cannot even understand it, im too nice to tell them i dont want to harm them.

So they basically recently told me they signed up on some poetry competition and they told me they made as "finalist" i was like:
Holy shit! thats amazing!

I ask them like what's that competition name?
and he says its like "eber and wein" so I do a quick look up on it and looks legit but there is tons of people calling it a scam, what that site does is that it basically lies to people telling them that their poetry is fire and it even tells they "won" and that their poetry will be featured on their next book release and then asks them for 50-100 dollars if they want to buy the book where that winning poem is featured in.

My friend is really invested in this and i dont know if i should burst their bubble or what. its just so hard


give me your opinion on what to do here or if you wanna talk in depth add me i guess?

Post his poem

>>24512150
do not post "his" poem
>>24512144 (OP)
why not just ask people to review your poem without adding the fake back story?

>>24512144 (OP)
Looks like you're too illiterate to read the poem.

True im european so I'm esl, infamous poster from a board better left unmentioned.
im not leaking his poem.

I showed the guy my genius.com account and he seen my iq score was high there so he is obsessed with posting his poetry at me, all i can think is that it makes no sense.

i really like the guy he plays the guitar and this harmonica on vc for the friend group he just really nice and im not sure if i should break the news for him.

Do i let him get this fake approval from those disgusting scammers or do I tell him.

He keeps saying to me that poetry and music changed his life since the beginning of the year, it really seems to mean a lot to him.
