At what point does "Strategy" become a scam? (Serious question about ROI vs. Deliverables)

I've been seeing a lot of business owners firing experienced agencies to hire "cheap AI talent" or even family members with YouTube certificates.

If a client can get 80% of the results using a $20 ChatGPT sub and a teenager, why are we still charging $2k-$5k/month? Is our "expert strategy" actually generating alpha, or are we just charging a "complexity tax" on clients who haven't caught up yet?

I'm struggling to justify the price gap when the execution barrier is hitting zero. Are we all just overpaid PDF senders now?
