P T Barnum. But differently: "No man ever went broke overestimating the ignorance of the American public"

Could be someone else on your actual quote. I was helped by AI until I got it turned off. found this:

"No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the record for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."

Your call as I can't GROK your intent
