Creators

“If you’re so smart why are the only ways you have to get rich value extractive?”

A thought I have often about our so called smart people

tbh much of the "creator economy" today is a pyramid scheme that's max value extraction

most creator platforms are just e-commerce platforms where "creator" is selling you some course

hard for me to believe anybody who is actually making $25k a month is desperate enough to charge to teach others how to do it

Self-help propaganda dressed in creator cosplay. The desperation to monetize 'success' is always suspect... the course is rarely the product. Tapping collective insecurity, shame becomes a renewable resource.
