Alot of people i talk to say this “its a ponzi scheme that disguises itself with technology like everything else since the internet became big.” Younger ones dont want to get in because they say too much people are already in it and make money off others getting in too easy, they’d rather start a business and compete with regular people who arent good at business, they look at what their competitors are and say they can do better” most people i know under 25 make more money off social media and reselling things than they do a 9-5.

yeah what i find interesting about the young folks, most of them as you said would rather do something like sit around and "look cute" and play video games, or start some kind of as you mentioned reselling business. it's really interesting, because these outfits fit into a secondary gig economy based on already manufactured goods, and in the first example, mens stupidity, and their lust.
i've looked at twitch tv to study it briefly, and found it horrifying that some people have so many messages streaming into their channel not only is there no possible way to read it, but its almost an epileptic inducing amount to just watch their channel . what it really tells me though, is that is massive amounts of miscalibrated, and wasted human energy and creative potential. (with regards to twitch anyhow.)
