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

ive done a channel before (like 10 years ago) just to anonymously post things i like and after a certain point a corporation began giving me free stuff on the condition i hock their shit all the time. that lost all of the magic for me and it made none of it fun anymore.

i kinda wish i could just live a very basic life, simple food, simple place to stay, and do free shit for people all the time as my whims demand. but the world isnt structured for that.

    I hope it didn't come across as critical of content creators, I think I was just trying to share this sense of... icky lol. I believe genuine creators exist and aren't just trying to make a quick buck :)

    To the second part, strongly agreed. I just wanted to enjoy simple things and not have to produce all the time
