Skool has become a gathering place for online gurus, coaches, and growth experts—each offering a different formula for success. This isn’t accidental.
First, Skool lowers the barrier to authority. Creating a community automatically positions someone as a leader. The moment a group exists, expertise is implied, even if it hasn’t been demonstrated yet.
Second, Skool rewards visibility over verification. The most active voices rise to the top, not necessarily the most experienced or thoughtful ones. This encourages people with strong confidence, strong opinions, and polished narratives to dominate attention.
Third, Skool is built around monetization. Paid tiers, upsells, and premium access are normalized. This naturally attracts people who already sell frameworks, systems, or transformations. The platform doesn’t ask whether the promise is realistic—only whether people are willing to pay.
Many gurus thrive in environments where success is defined loosely. “Growth,” “mindset,” and “freedom” are difficult to measure, which makes them easy to sell. Skool’s structure supports these broad, aspirational ideas.
Finally, Skool encourages replication. When one formula appears to work, others copy it. This creates waves of similar communities with slightly different branding but nearly identical promises.
The result is an ecosystem where many voices speak confidently, even when their paths to success are unproven or highly situational.
