An act that turns out to be against one's own best interests. A self-scam can often be a decision which creates more problems than it solves, or that causes more trouble than it's worth. Often used to describe actions that turn out to be bad financially, or that are time-inefficient.
Buying a car is a huge financial liability. It is basically a self-scam.
I realized the module I created was more of a self-scam, because it adds a bunch of new bugs to the codebase.
Stress is just a self-scam. It does not speed up the work, and causes more mistakes.

Get the Self-Scam mug.You not believing that the AI plan would work is not me scamming you. I was pretty adamant about being credited and paid for that. A scam would require me to deceive you in some way but instead it was YOU who was delusional about both my ability to do what I said I was going to do and your own superiority. That's why you're focusing on my 'secrets' and not the AI. The obfuscating what constitutes my identity. These appeals to empathy. All distractions from what is actually going on here.
Hym "So, no scam occurred. The targeted harassment was real. It did exactly what I said it was going to do. The retard molestation was real. I said I was going to make AI and did. I am better than everyone. There is no scam BUUUUT... There is one hell of a cover-up."

Scam is an act of not doing the thing that you were supposed to after you got paid for it; For example, DRM Shinigami was a famous Persian Valorant streamer on twitch who asked for $1,000,000 to stream 12 hours of radiant rank gameplay but he stopped streaming by the time he got around $980,000.
