Bad amplifier design

I saw this at Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1YitRKKmxy/ Can burn loudspeaker and transformer due DC flowing Dc quite probably saturates transformer core-> lots of distortion and very little sound Even if works the transformer is expensive and limits sound quality Very low impedance sound input is less than 30 ohms – which means this circuit does

Touch switch

I saw this circuit at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HFEwzkcQ/ The diodes try to charge and discharge the mosfet gate based on static electricity of user touching. Depending on the amount of charge you happen have it might not work at all, might work or could fry the mosfet (they are static sensitive components). FETs are extremely vulnerable to
