Social Media "influencers" make big dollars

And yet, I’ve never received a dime for any of my posts here. Some of them were even labeled as “best post ever” by people who happen to have the same opinions as me. Come on THFSG, loosen up those purse strings.

 

Like I've been saying, markets are illogical

 

They are rich because people are vapid enough to care about the vapid things they post.
Just another canary in the coal mine on where we are as a society.
Jmo.

 

You’re right. I have been particularly remiss and I’d like to make it up to you. Please DM me your acct# and PW and I’ll transfer funds.

 

She's not even old enough to drink and she's already made millions of dollars with no signs of that slowing down anytime soon. She could be a mediocre investor and still be financially secure even assuming she doesn't marry someone bringing in even more money than she's bringing in. She apparently has a communications degree, and I suspect she will have lots of options. Some of it could be luck and timing, but that's true for lots of successful people. She is clearly doing something right because there are many good looking college athletes who haven't capitalized the way that she has. I may be jealous, but I don't fault her one bit by the way, lol.

 

On the way along with my SSN.

 

I don’t fault her.. and I shouldn’t have take. A cheap shot. I admire anyone that can get theirs and make it work for life
I do question many of the so called YouTubers/influencers etc… and how long they can maintain their level of incomes.

 

I'm on it, just send me your banking info and crypto details/password.

 

Dang, you beat me to it...

 

Yeah, some of them seem more confounding and less sustainable than others. A few years back, I heard about a kid at a local high school who drove a Ferrari after creating some YouTube channel that went nuts. I don't remember his name or the channel but it made zero sense to me at the time because whatever I was told he created sounded silly to me. He may have just gotten extremely lucky overnight or he could be a genius who's working hard and continuing to kill it for all I know.

At the very least, we know that Dunne had to work very hard from a young age to be a collegiate-level gymnast. Of course, there are many people in the world who work as hard and never find fame or athletic or financial success for various reasons. Some of it is luck. Being physically attractive is a major advantage in life, and that's something individuals have little control over, for example. Doesn't seem fair, but is being good looking less fair than being born taller or smarter than others? I don't know. But I do recognize that Dunne was busting her tail in college while I was preoccupied with punishing my liver. So I am trying not to be a hater, lol.

 

No it’s fair… we are all are blessed with SOMETHING. Good looks, athleticism, brains, work ethic, family name… whatever it is I think the vast majority of people have everything they need to get by..being jealous of others who have more.. for any reason is a waste of time and emotion.
I watched a YouTube who does bass fishing.. my kid smiled him. Silly, wacky and a lot of crazy stunts around fishing.. but clean and good natured. Kid dropped out of college(engineer) to be a bass fishing YouTuber . That’s what I do t get. Can he keep it up into his 30’s? 40’s? Hard be doing stupid stunts at 45 for the likes and subscribers.. I’d think… but what do I know. I’m a greybeard who thinks a good time is a cup of coffee watching the sun rise over the mountain tops! ( Or fishing the early morning glass.. with my coffee… or hunting the cold mountain morning over a snow covered field.. with my coffee..)

 

That beach pic is incredible. I’m sure she’s bronzed but wow.

 

And you’d be wrong, given a $500k payment

 

Define useful? There is nothing illegal about the transaction. If it is legal, no overtly harmful and both sides consent then who are we to stand in the way of it?

 

If she’s able to drive people in large numbers to purchase a product why shouldn’t she be compensated accordingly ?

 

I really hope that the people that liked this post aren't old enough to be her dad

 

Damn, might have to get Instagram

 

It's not this guy is it? I laughed so hard when I saw this fishing video, who'd of ever thought of catching bait that way?
TONY PANICO on TikTok

 

Hahaha
No
It some young buck that bass fishes, does stupid survival videos, and other stuff. I think his name was norm?

 

I don't buy based on ads or do things influencers promote. Don't understand those who do. The whole advertising gig seems like a giant waste of resources to me. Advertising should not be tax deductible
