I hate how nearly all professionals on social media have turned into, basically, grifting hustles.
I used to think the "<professional> reacts to <thing>" genre of videos was just a form of laziness but they've nearly all graduated to…I dunno; grifting, while accurate, is too general but it's something which relies on feeding the engagement that monetized–social-media subsists on and turns important knowledge about the way we function into something slightly malleable, like the way information functions on our current internet and tends to result in misinformation instead, that only benefits the influenc- sorry, professional who did the video/content.
