"Back in my day I had to work and not make a few TikToks to make millions of dollars"
Me (an 18 yo), was sitting down with my uncle who's around 40 and my dad who's a few years older than him and my whole family and we were having a Christmas Eve dinner.
Then my uncle started talking about how no young person wants to work anymore and all they do is try to get famous on tiktok and how insanely rich some lazy kids are becoming from doing nothing.
He was dropping numbers that didn't even make sense.
The thing I found hilarious is how much hate influencers receive, ESPECIALLY from OLD PEOPLE. It's crazy how you can put so much time and energy in to making quality content for example on YouTube for millions of people, filming and editing videos for people to watch your stuff. Yet you will still get told by OLD PEOPLE that you're doing nothing, you're a lazy piece of shit who just does nothing and is privileged by living in a certain time period in history where "it's easy to make money by doing nothing apparently".
But one thing that is worse than being a successful influencer that makes a lot of money and gets a lot of hate is being an influencer that earns zero to small amounts of money and gets hate. You're trying super hard and you're just being told that you're cringe, people make fun out of you for "chasing clout" and old people will MAKE FUN OUT OF YOU EVEN MORE just because you tried and failed.
