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

Yeahh some people can't chill.

Then again I believe its good to pursue something and stay busy if you have the drive.

For me its too stressful to try to make money doing fun stuff like repairing things so I just do it with my own stuff. Sometimes friends bring stuff for me to fix.

Not only are they only thinking about the bag, but they also go about it in the silliest, most shameful ways (that don't involve selling your soul like killing brown people for General Dynamics, ofc), lol. I'd just side eye them. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿ˜…

Tell him that anyone over 18 who posts anything on tiktok is a PDFile & you want nothing to do on that platform. Let's see how your colleagues back him up then.

Nope. I want and love to make money. I look for every opportunity to. It not only makes my line better, but it allows me to give to charity, provide for my kids classrooms, give to others, and so on. You can't help others if you can't help yourself.

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.
