I suspect you are discouraging people from studying because you know you can't compete with them.

Me personally, I can't compete in any interview requiring understanding of specific algorithms at that level. If you are preparing for these companies you need to prepare for all of these topics as the TABLESTAKES, and then you need to also learn how to interview well using those skills. If you fail to do that, you won't pass no matter how much you know.
