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

It's infuriating when you look at the online content creator landscape:

Everybody's got a course. Everybody's sponsored. Every channel pitches scams with a promo code. Even many anti-capitalist channels are pushing you to sign up for some program. It's absurd.

At least Cody Johnston drinks the green supplement crap satirically?

The flipside to it is that people still pay to have specific logos and brandings on their clothings and stuff.
