unpopular take: I really dislike the "agency" model.

Anyone else feel that a LOT of "entrepreneurism" today is empty? I see at least 5 offers every single day, the majority of them are people either saying they have the secret sauce to raise six figures in a company for example, by using the very model that they are using to show you the ad about how they can help you raise six figures, or a generic b2b offering that doesn't hold much water in the real world.

eg today a chat with five people who claim to help you make $xxxxxx using linkedin with all generally the same offering

1) A repositry to connect your own chat gpt to to essentially give you answers to your query with their loading
2) information on chat gpt for you to replicate the same for your business
3) a funnel builder
4) various AI tools to scan your inbox and craft responses.
5) each had a community.

Maybe I'm simply not the target audience but I'm so tired of being approached with offers claiming to help my business sell a product, when their product is purely selling services or courses on how to sell a product. Same to those selling "make millions with PDFs, buy this course". The write up for each course shows no real example of a pdf that they have previously sold.

Selling to the pained parent of two trying to make a change doesn't translate to selling to large businesses, or selling a service to retail or commericial users.

Now I'm not saying all ''agencies'' are garbage, there are plenty of examples where a master of google fu can teach how to sell a product based on their experience of selling other products for others. I get that, But the vast marjority are nonsense that falls apart when you ask "but HOW, PRECISELY are you going to add six figures?

Grinds my gears.

After the drop shipping, branding , eCom, Print on demand, affiliate marketing and social media agency hype of the 2009s - 2020, the latest hype is AI agency that "helps to streamline and optimize your business daily operations and profits".
