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

I don't think this is true at all, most people absolutely feel the same.

Probably depends on plenty of demographic factors, but I wouldn't say "most people absolutely feel the same."

You must be an influencer. I promise that most people don't want to be in your videos and hate when you come around with your phone out

It is exactly because of those wide generalizations and assumptions that I disagree in the first place. Do you know what platform you happen to be on? This isn't Instagram

...you think influencers aren't on lemmy? 🤦‍♂️
