he shows up on my FYP and I’m quickly turned off. he has programmed himself to squeeze every dollar he possibly can from every single person. can’t take criticism either without flipping out and while idk that he actually does any substances I can see why someone would think that with his erratic behavior. I watched for a moment to see how his chat interacts with it all, being swung through battles, me searching for a reason people stick around. I get the hype, you feel like you’re part of something. but the reality of it is all you’re apart of is pouring money into another man who will remember you when it’s convenient. he’s smart that’s undoubtably true. he’s figured out a system that keeps money flowing and most of the time he’s respectful! he’s not mean to anyone in his chat while I was there he’s actually too nice. but then when it came to the battle he says certain things that caught my attention. when he’s stressed in the middle of a battle, it’s forced, but its all talked about as if “we” gotta make it thru this series (where if they don’t win or make top, then they don’t continue the series). then there’s “we” just need 45,000 more points or you know an unreasonable amount to be suggesting anyone to catch up to. “we” this and that but there is no we in it. pushing ranks only gets the creator a bigger cut of all the money already being poured in and sure it’d be reduced if they don’t maintain certain ranks.. but whose fault is that? tiktok created a gambling machine out of the lives and now this guy who I remember from the past had a personality but he obviously shifted focus into money, and why shouldn’t he everyone else is doing it? but at what cost. some of those people make it blatantly obvious they’re struggling with money, some even calling themselves out “I ran out can’t reload”… but for some reason they feel like sticking around and as long as they do the pressure of gifting is there because there’s no other purpose or value for you being in his live. I had to eventually scroll out because having a couple hundred half of them bots watching this unfold in real time is a lot to witness. but I get it once you’re there you’re just giving it all away. I swear it’ll be the same people who’d say the government should do something about housing or higher prices but why would they when they know full well this is how a lot of people spend their time and money, just giving it away to people who have more than enough and more than what God ever gave them, this doesn’t have God written anywhere on it. It has gluttony and greed, though. Stay humble everyone. We’re in sad times.
