Weird question but like, are the majority of financial advisors just scam artists essentially?

So around 3 years ago, I suddenly gained this mental motivation and frustration about finance. I realized I was about to be 30 and knew nothing about money really. I didn’t know what stocks where, I was about 20k in debt (which isn’t bad relatively I understand) and had no idea what I was doing really. Well, fast forward to now and I am debt free with a paid off 2020 vehicle, have about 22k in cash to my name split between emergency savings and a taxable brokerage (gold, silver, copper mainly). I deposit more money into my personal retirement account (457b) than my future pension. Overall I feel quite confident with my current financial situation as I continue to save cash to comfortably get into a house within 5 years. Anywho, as I learned about money and inflation and retirement/stocks and whatnot. I got to looking around at financial advisors who manage investments. Like… none of these dudes are beating the S&P that I can find. I feel like these investment managers are basically robbing people with their cut when all they are doing is taking money from people that are ignorant to the fact they could open a Fidelity account and throw whatever they plan on giving into VOO and then ta-da, you’re matching or beating the finance dudes returns? Am I missing something here? Like I guess I don’t know what I don’t know, but it seems like a scam. I could say the same thing about tax agents when a single person with no business and just a W2 goes to a tax guy with a list of deductions that add up to like 5k, so the tax guy just says he will work with it and files him under standard and takes a cut. But that rant is for another day.
