Damn - Why does everything have to become a hustle or business opportunity? Why couldn't a wholesome accidental friendship just stay that way?
God I hate the influence hustle culture has had on the internet.
I'll take a wholesome hustle over a corporation pushing hustle culture any day. It's become clear that most Americans require a second income, so at least they've found a market to inspire others.
I think social media has enabled anyone to make a quick buck if you're put in a position to do so. These two capitalized on their popularity on social media, and people, for one reason or another, will pay to be a part of it.
Because capitalism is an economic system that squeezes every last cent out of people for the sake of "efficiency".
Not everyone is affected equally (woo, human biases) but it hits every group eventually. Sadly people often find need to obtain money somewhere to justify their own existence. The usual sources tend to grind you down to a sad shadow if your former self, so people often look for alternatives.
It's not in order to justify our existence, but to merely be able to exist. There are zero guarantees of having our basic needs met; we need money to even have a chance.
Because tree falling in forest doesn't make a sound or something like that. You ever only hear about the ones that are promoted for clicks on the internet. I'm sure the are hundredths of grandpas that texted the wrong person, became friends and never bragged about it on Instagram.
