Yeah. There's big money in telling people something or even anything, they want to hear. No money at all in telling people something they don't.
There is an interesting documentary on Netflix called Kumare.. about an Indian guy, born and raised in the US, who was in film school in NY. Having a lot of exposure to Hinduism and having practiced Yoga all his life and easily faking a heavy Indian accent, he started a cult with him as the leader and made a documentary of the experience.
He just grew his hair out, grew his beard out, started wearing an orange robe, had a cool staff and started booking speaking engagements at yoga studios spreading his message which was as vague as could be "I am nobody, you are your own guru" kind of stuff and making up senseless chants. It is kinda troubling watching people respond to him so strongly, when he is saying absolutely nothing at all. It didn't take long at all for him to amass a following and though interesting, it was a bit chilling.
