Talk:Tim Ferriss

Criticism
There is no shortage of criticism of Ferriss. I'm not optimistic about editing this page because there's a high probability it will get reverted by Ferriss's marketing team, but if anyone with privileges is interested, Ferriss's history of fraud has been covered in major publications (a scratch on the surface of the bad things he's done, really).

Not really criticism but a reversal of his previous attitudes:

 * I think some of this information belongs in the article. fearing a "marketing team" (or any non-NPOV group) is how they win. BernardoSulzbach (talk) 20:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I added those links in Feb 2021, and edits between then and now have further reduced the "advertise-y" feel of the article, I'm pleased with its neutrality and overall coverage of the person/topic now. Tollsjo (talk) 16:37, 25 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your significant edits to increase the article's quality and NPOV. In trying to improve the article's class from C-class I just added some context: he is notable for the philosophy he published and for the reaction to / evolution of that philosophy, so I'm trying to include that, but obviously it's hard to summarize without spending hours on the topic. Here's my first attempt. Tollsjo (talk) 17:14, 25 August 2021 (UTC)


 * much appreciated, and likewise. I'll keep an eye on it and try to help. Violarulez (talk) 00:23, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
