I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck ‘by doing commentary’, leave me the fuck alone
Everything is so hollowed out that the only thing that’s really left is making money. I remember a time when people used to cringe in front of a camera doing those viral dances and stuff. But nowadays everyone is sold on the idea that as long as you keep creating content on social media you will be rewarded for your efforts. Now whether it’s by actual people interested in the things you create or old men trying to sneak a peek into a girl is another thing…
