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

No. I dislike people saying "everyone is doing this annoying thing" when it's quite obvious that a large percent of the local and global population are not doing it.

Going on a rant is great, but you gotta be factual or it's a waste of everyone's time to listen. Have some decency, please.

I dislike fake outrage that pokes fingers at innocent turns of phrases.

Yes. I know, un-be-lievable.

Maybe this large percent of population not doing it cause it is annoying?

It's hyperbole. A well established component of human interaction, used to stimulate engagement.
