Waking up early is just a trend; what really matters is how you spend your time, not the clock.
There’s been a big shift of a lot of people trying to basically just pretend to be rich. It’s just so weird. This is my morning routine: I’m currently waking up at 5:00 a.m. or 5:30 a.m. I’m reading the 5 a.m. Club, which inspires me to do this. Then, I have some electrolytes to get hydrated as soon as possible, and I turn my sauna on to help with my dark thoughts. 5 a.m. Club has changed my life. Being part of the 5 a.m. Club has changed my life.
See, I’ve always been more of a night owl, with my most productive moments being during the afternoon until late at night. But now that I started setting my alarm at 5:00 a.m., I wake up so tired and pissed off that every time of day feels like the late afternoon. The first thing I do is watch my favorite YouTube videos. Am I the only person that likes waking up early? It doesn’t really matter when you wake up; it also matters when you go to bed. As long as you get eight hours and wake up before you have to do something, I feel like it doesn’t really matter if you’re waking up at 5:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. or even 1:00 p.m. It shouldn’t matter at all. It’s like such a weird flex about how early you wake up in the day.
While talking with the voices in my head that came from sleep deprivation, by 6:30 a.m., after my second alarm since I fell asleep again, I finally gathered the strength to stop snoozing and get coffee brewing. By 7:00 a.m., my brain is finally able to process information, so I start watching my favorite influencer. There you go, wait a second, that clock says 7:15. You’re telling me nobody caught this because nobody can read clocks? She just posted it because she probably couldn’t read the clock either. This is crazy—absolutely crazy! Wow, you’re telling me influencer number 12752 is lying to me? Imagine that!
What the heck? My bowl of cereal—is it just me, or are influencers making life way too complicated? Just last week, I had 37 different influencers in my feed, each telling me how to live, how to become happy and successful. If you want to be successful at a young age, you have to be really intentional with your goals. If you have to be a literal rat, you have to be a [expletive]. You’re only depressed when you have time to be depressed. I know I’m not the only one, but while at first, constantly being exposed to all this advice made me feel bad about my own shortcomings, it’s now getting to a point that it’s just driving me insane with all their different rules and lifestyles.
Most of them contradict each other. For example, why I tell my patients if they work night shifts, they’re at increased risk of psoriasis. Oh God, the thing is, you still need to implement all of them; otherwise, you’ll go through life feeling miserable, according to them. You’re only depressed when you have time to be depressed. But honestly, their lifestyle tips are just getting stupid. I never do dishes; why would I waste my time cleaning dishes? Overconsumption is a no-no.
This guy is just [expletive]. The way he’s talking, I think he’s farming. I do; I think he’s just bullshitting because that’s clearly a dish you’re going to have to wash. And by the way, I do the same thing—I only use paper plates and plastic forks. Cleaning dishes overconsumption is not at all problematic and will make you happy. I love how, I guess it’s like a Gen Z thing or a younger Millennial thing, where now we’re going to create new vocabulary that makes the [expletive] mental disorders that we have seem like they’re cool, quirky personality traits. So instead of being addicted to shopping or being bad with money, now I’m overconsumption core. You know, like it’s just so [expletive] annoying. Yeah, I’m not materialistic; I’m overconsumption core.
Overconsumption is the new cool, but it’s just a trendy way to mask our unhealthy habits.
I, by the way, do the same thing; I only use paper plates and plastic forks. Cleaning dishes over consumption is not at all problematic and will make you happy, so let's talk about over consumption.
I love how, like, I guess it's a Gen Z thing or a younger Millennial thing where it's like, now what we're going to do is create new vocabulary that makes the mental disorders we have seem like they're cool, quirky personality traits. So instead of being addicted to shopping or being bad with money, now I'm into over consumption core. You know, like, I'm not hoarding; I'm just embracing it. It's so annoying. Yeah, I'm not materialistic; I'm just into over consumption core.
For instance, I might spend $5,000 a month on skin care products or buy this useless item. You find the perfect pen for your ADHD—what color is that guy's hand? That's funny; that's really funny. Make sure to stock your entire fridge with about $500 of soda, snacks, and energy drinks because I really need my daily intake of Baby Bell cheeses and Gatorade. Yeah, I want the diet of a toddler, or else I'm going to get cranky.
I drink coffee every three hours while I’m on my fitness grind. On Sunday mornings, I have a cardio session featuring black coffee to stay on that grind set. I get up at 5:00 a.m. every single day, including weekends, so I can spend three hours cleaning, making coffee, and working out all alone by myself, just to start working at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. and get off at 5:00 p.m. like everybody else.
For me, I usually wake up and lay in bed for about an hour to catch up with everything I missed. I do most of my business laying in bed at night. As soon as I end my stream, I go lay in bed and look at all the messages I’ve missed. It’s awesome! Yes, exactly! I think that probably five out of five of the last business calls I've had, I have not taken a single one while sitting up; I've just been laying down the whole time.
It doesn’t matter; who gives a [__]? Everyone else is having fun, and afterwards, you’re now exhausted and have to get to bed by 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. to maintain your recommended 8 to 9-hour sleep schedule that these influencers are also preaching you to do. It’s so stupid. No surprise, most of their lives are an absolute orgy of contradictions.
Here are my thoughts on the fitness industry: they have a very good marketing strategy. The tips and tricks they provide are just nuggets of pseudo wisdom. Here’s exactly why you should avoid eating salad for your health—with no scientific backing. They try to sell us these grandiose schemes to success. Eat those? No! I think he's cooking; I want to hear what he was going to say. I agree with him; I think he's right. Bit by bit, you will one day look back and compare your previous self to your new self. Look at that definition!
Even though they might seem incredibly stupid, they aren't. What are you going to do? Some of them are, but most of them are aware of the fact that what they preach is just over-romanticized nonsense. The 5 a.m. rule, for example, is based on a book, The 5 a.m. Club, written by Robin Sharma—oh, a wise philosopher in the eyes of the lifestyle influencer and a fraud in the eyes of many.
I mean, yeah, of course, right? People focus so much on trying to get ahead that they don't have enough time to actually get ahead. I see this all the time where people get so focused on the process and being in the mindset of doing something that they never actually focus on making any meaningful progress. People are just lazy.
What I'm saying is that people get involved with the aesthetic of working hard and they stop actually working. I see streamers do this all the time. Streamers will get hyper-focused around streaming for long periods, and the problem is that they’re like, “Oh, I’m grinding, I’m grinding.” Yeah, you’re grinding, but you shouldn’t be; you should be making better content—working harder.
Working hard is good, but if you’re not doing something that’s efficient, then you’re just wasting your time. Yes, exactly! Professional book reviewers describe his book as follows: the entire book feels like everything someone who...
Stop glorifying the grind and start focusing on real progress; efficiency over aesthetics is the key to success.
Progress people are just lazy, yeah. I think that, huh, well, what I'm saying is like people get involved with the aesthetic of working hard and they stop actually working. I see streamers do this all the time. Streamers will get hyperfocused around streaming for long periods of time, and the problem is that they're like, "Oh, I'm grinding, I'm grinding." Like, yeah, you're grinding, but you shouldn't be; you should be making better content—just more like working harder.
Working hard is good, but if you're not doing something that's efficient, then you're just wasting your time. Yes, say I'm grinding. Exactly. A lot of professional book reviewers describe his book as follows: the entire book feels like everything someone who hates self-help books would claim are the worst things about them—what cliché just to get money from the masses of sheep! A bunch of obvious material you learned by the time you were 13. I'm going to be honest; that is most self-help stuff. It's the obvious things that everybody knows: wake up early, exercise, eat good food, and don't focus on things that make you mad. Wow, crazy, can you believe that? Oh my God, so pretty much a manifesto for lifestyle influencers to bleed their viewers and take all their money.
This book is freaking trash! Do you think these guys actually wake up at 5:00 a.m. every single day because it's some magical key to success? No! Making you believe they do is their magical key to success. They can't even put in the effort to do it at least once for their TikTok preaching about the 5:00 a.m. Club. This girl tried her best changing the hour on her dashboards, but the clock at the gym says 7:50. And this guy was caught lying! Who does this? Because he lives in a place where, during the months of October and November, which is the time at which he uploaded this reel, there is no sunlight until about 7:00 a.m. Yet he's out at 5:30 a.m., and there's already more sunlight than the average day in Belgium.
You can't even be bothered to wake up at 5:00 a.m. for real, just one time for a video? Why? Just do it once and say you do it every day! I mean, you can't even do it once! I could easily assume, like, okay, they do it one day, and then they record the video and say, "I do this every day," but they don't actually do it every day. These people don't even do it the first time! It's just like, didn't go to bed earlier—it's just one day! It's a scam.
What time do you wake up? I usually wake up at 10 to 11, and I usually go to bed around 2 to 3, something like that. That's me for the most part. Then I have some electrolytes and get hydrated as soon as possible. This has been a game changer for me. He's really hammering down on those electrolytes. Might it be because he's secretly sponsored by them? This brings me to the reason that I wanted to make this video: yes, it's just about making money.
You want to know the real way that a lot of the self-help gurus make money? By being self-help gurus! They're like, "Yeah, let me show you how to be a millionaire," and it's like, "Buy my course." Where do they make all their money? Selling courses! What is this? The lifestyle influencers that made their entire career on nothing but lies and fake wealth is insane, which I wouldn't care about if they weren't purposefully and directly manipulating people.
They make people feel like they're inferior and that they're not doing enough with their lives. I think that there's a big focus now, culturally, on FOMO—people that are constantly afraid of missing out on this or that thing. So everything is built around that. You have these people selling and playing into this fixation around trying to live your life in the most hyper-optimized way. At a certain point, you're just optimizing out the human experience of life.
I find it to be like, there's no mindfulness, there's no living with yourself, there's no calm; there's just you being hyper-fixated around doing the next thing, doing the next thing. It's not demure at all. Okay, yes, very true—American Psycho core. Yeah, you're men maxing life, exactly. It's just too much, man! Influencing people with their lives because their success is built on their viewers feeling unfulfilled in life and idolizing them, and they lie about everything. I have been paralyzed trying...
In the quest for a hyper-optimized life, we often lose touch with the true human experience, chasing after materialism instead of mindfulness.
In today's society, there seems to be a fixation around trying to live life in the most hyper-optimized way. At a certain point, one might realize that this approach leads to optimizing out the human experience of life. I find that in this pursuit, there is a lack of mindfulness and an absence of calm; instead, it becomes a cycle of being hyper-fixated on doing the next thing. It's not demure at all.
This phenomenon can be likened to the American Psycho core, where individuals are men maxing their lives. It's overwhelming, especially when you consider how some people influence others with their seemingly perfect lives. Their success is often built on their viewers feeling unfulfilled and idolizing them, despite the fact that many of these influencers lie about their realities.
I have personally experienced paralysis while trying to find furniture for my new house. It’s a frustrating process, especially when I think about what my kids are doing while we’re moving. To be honest, I need a living room TV, a master bedroom TV, and TVs for the kids' rooms. I just bought three washers and dryers yesterday because there is a lot to do in this new house. Moving can be quite a hassle.
It's amusing to think about the husband's perspective, as he might not even be at the house. It seems extravagant to have three washers, which some might consider a massive waste of money. Transitioning from my first mansion to this new one without selling the first is incredibly stressful. I had to open my laptop to manage everything, and I know how much new TVs typically cost—around two grand for a good one.
When I hear about someone spending $20,000 on home appliances, I can’t help but wonder who brags about that. It's not impressive for those who truly make a lot of money; it’s more about upper-middle-class individuals who have money to spend on frivolous things. The reality is that many influencers present a lifestyle that is completely out of touch and devoid of relatability.
In fact, the story of the three washers and dryers might just be a bad ad disguised as a personal anecdote. It’s likely formatted as an affiliate link, which is a common tactic among influencers. Many women look at these figures and think they have the perfect life—rich, attractive, and with kids—so they try to emulate their lifestyles. However, while many influencers appear successful or wealthy, most of them simply aren't.
The truth is that those who actually own private jets are not the ones flaunting their wealth with handbags or extravagant purchases. They are often more grounded, not wasting money on superficial displays. It’s a strange dynamic, and it raises questions about the authenticity of the lifestyles that are often portrayed in social media.
The truth is, most influencers flaunting wealth are just playing a game of pretend, using rented jets and empty designer bags to create a facade of success that fools no one who’s truly successful.
It is important to be aware that many influencers seem as if they're this successful or rich, but in reality, most of them simply aren't. Most of these guys don't own a private jet. There is also another big factor I've seen: these videos where a guy will come up to a dude that's on a private jet and ask him how he made his money. This guy is often wearing an Arizona State t-shirt and Nike basketball shorts, and he might have pulled up in his Honda Civic or something similar. The people that actually own private jets aren't wasting their money on this kind of display. They don't need to show off with a handbag because they have a private jet and probably a company they own.
It's just so weird, and I think it's kind of sad. Many of these brands, like Gucci, really only work for flexing on other people that are also kind of dumb with money. You're not going to wear a Gucci bag to an actual networking event for venture capitalists. Do you think any of them are really going to be impressed by the fact you have a Gucci bag? No, nobody's going to care. It's just something to impress people who are broke.
This leads to the rise of private jet photo studios, where you can rent a private grounded jet for Instagram photos. Who does this? They pretend they own one and make you feel bad in the process for actually having your life together. They ask, "Where's your private jet, broke boy?" Everything is done to desperately maintain this facade of success, to keep flexing on their viewers like insecure douchebags.
It's also not very smart to even do that. The only people that need private jets are a handful of individuals who need to go around and do business deals or pop stars like Taylor Swift. Most normal people don't need private jets. It's pointless. Yet, we continue to idolize these figures and do whatever they tell us to do, allowing them to squeeze as much money as possible out of us.
I'm not only talking about the alpha male grindset influencers who are already known to be full of BS. There are so many lying, inauthentic influencers each with fake wealth. The term "empty influencers" is now a thing. This is so sad; they're buying empty shopping bags to pretend they're rich. How down bad do you have to be to do this? It's insane.
Take xQc, for example. He takes private jets, and he justifies it by saying it's not a lot. But the reality is that many of these people don't have tons of money. xQc is able to take private jets when he goes to Las Vegas because the casinos pay for it. It's not even him paying for it in the first place.
Why do you think the casinos are paying for it? He is spending money, but it's just not on the private jet. He'll spend the money after he gets off the jet. It’s an investment. The term "pseudo-authentic influencer" is now a thing, where they fake authenticity, success, and legitimacy so you trust them.
For instance, there are influencers who promote hair repair shampoo after an emotional breakup. How do people buy into this? It's amazing, and I'm shocked at the services they don't use. There was an influencer with 1.1 million followers who took a picture in front of an empty seat in business class with ads and then had to sit in economy.
Honestly, anytime I see a girl in a private jet, I assume that the reason why—especially if it's a pretty girl—is that some rich guy is flying her out somewhere. This is not really impressive to me; it's just actual economy class.
Influencers are selling a fantasy, not reality; don't let their curated lives fool you into thinking you need to keep up.
The phenomenon of emotional breakups being used to promote products, such as hair repair shampoo, is quite astonishing. It's shocking how people buy into this marketing strategy. Many influencers, despite not using the services they promote, have a significant following. For instance, one influencer with 1.1 million followers posted a picture in front of an empty seat in business class, only to later reveal she had to sit in economy.
To be honest, whenever I see a girl on a private jet, especially if she is attractive, I assume that a rich man is flying her out somewhere. This perception is common, and it diminishes the impressiveness of such displays. Meanwhile, traveling influencers preach about achieving happiness through travel, often accompanied by hashtags like #NeverGiveUpOnYourDreams. However, these messages can be frustrating, especially when not everyone can afford to travel, particularly during the ongoing pandemic.
It's no wonder that some people are drawn to communism; they watch these influencers flaunt their lives on private jets, which seems incredibly pathetic. The reality is that many influencers do not live the life they portray. They often spend their entire life savings on vacations, which they then showcase as a lifestyle. The truth is, many of these trips are funded by resorts or companies in exchange for advertising.
This trend is particularly evident with South Korean companies that pay content creators to visit and promote their services, including plastic surgery. The influencers are essentially just advertisements themselves, and there is often a misconception that there is a deeper connection between influencers and their audience. In reality, both influencers and marketing companies are simply advertising to you.
Personally, I have had numerous opportunities to travel, both domestically and internationally, with expenses covered. However, I don't particularly enjoy traveling; I prefer working and streaming. If travel were beneficial for me, I would consider it, but generally, it's not something I enjoy.
Many influencers curate their images with backgrounds that could be from any vacation destination, posting pictures with different locations every few weeks. There are countless ways that luxury influencers deceive their followers. For instance, one influencer with 570,000 followers posted a photo of the New York skyline, but it was missing an entire skyscraper.
At least the Twin Towers weren't in the photo. Moreover, the reflections in her photos should reflect the side of her body facing the window, not her back. In another photo, she appeared to be at a pool, but her dress and handbag seemed to vaporize into thin air, and there were even Photoshopped birds in the image.
It's truly shameless how some influencers manipulate their photos. For example, there was a bizarre image of a tree growing out of someone's head. And don't get me started on those Dubai influencers; if you replaced "Dubai influencer" with "Dubai escort," the meaning would remain the same 95% of the time.
Influencers flaunting fake luxury are the TikTok equivalent of a beautiful facade hiding a messy reality.
In a recent discussion, the topic of influencers and their often superficial lifestyles came to the forefront. One participant remarked, "she's at the with her Shadow apparently allergic to water," highlighting the absurdity of some influencer portrayals. The imagery continued with "her dress in handback vaporizing in thin air," and "stone grooves extending into the pool," which painted a surreal picture. The conversation also touched on the "Photoshop Birds on top of it all," leading to a critique of the "low your Photoshop in your photos."
The dialogue shifted to the world of "Dubai influencers," with one speaker expressing disdain, saying, "I think that if you replace Dubai influencer with Dubai escort, I think that you wouldn't change the meaning 95% of the time." This sentiment reflected a broader skepticism about the authenticity of many influencers. The discussion further delved into the "VIN diagram" of influencers, suggesting that it was almost a circle, indicating a lack of diversity in their representations.
One participant described a "Tiny Tower that looks pretty from the outside but doesn't have much going on under its surface," likening it to influencers who maintain a facade of "superficial Perfection." They pointed out the irony of "designer clothing influencers flexing on you with their $5,000 Chanel trash bag shirts," noting that "most of them are fake." This was underscored by the revelation that "Korea's biggest fashion influencer is busted wearing a fake Chanel designer knockoff," leading to a public apology shortly after gaining millions of followers on the hit Netflix show "Singles Inferno."
The speaker expressed frustration, stating, "Netflix like they need to pay this girl more money," questioning the fairness of the situation. They elaborated on how some influencers are notorious for using fake designer merchandise to appear more successful than they truly are, even going so far as to promote illegal knockoffs.
The conversation then turned to the "massive overconsumption" exhibited by influencers on platforms like TikTok. One participant shared a personal anecdote, reflecting on how their household could accumulate a staggering amount of items in a short time. "I would wake up... and there'd be like four packages," they recounted, humorously detailing the absurdity of purchasing "new plates" and other items that seemed unnecessary.
Despite the chaos of overconsumption, they acknowledged that if these purchases made their mother happy, "it was worth it." However, the speaker lamented the sheer volume of items, stating, "man, we got so many plates," and expressed confusion about what to do with them. They humorously noted that their mother even began buying gifts for friends, leading to an ongoing cycle of spending.
In closing, the discussion highlighted the "content creation pollution" that influencers contribute to, comparing it to "Taylor Swift's private jet usage." The speaker concluded by emphasizing that while sharing thoughts on products is valuable, the current state of influencer culture often leads to excessive and superficial consumption.
Overconsumption is the new normal, but chasing trends over genuine self-care is just a waste.
My friend would often buy things for my other friends too, so there was always something that she was spending my money on. She would say, "there's a bunch of plates down there for Cody, there's stuff she got for Zack," and it was like, "oh yeah, I'm going to buy this, oh this is something nice for Jeff, we're gonna buy this." It was all fine, but it felt like an auction of plates off. It was a classic case of overconsumption.
Then, just two weeks later, she acted as if her TikToks weren't the content creation pollution equivalent to Taylor Swift's private jet usage. If only Taylor was also using a private jet photo studio! Don't get me wrong; I think sharing your thoughts on products you're excited about or sponsored by with your viewers is great. However, when you accumulate enough products for a $4,000 Sephora haul, I think that raises some eyebrows. But this is just my opinion, and I believe I speak for a lot of guys—maybe I don't, but no guy can tell the difference between spending $4,000 on makeup and spending $4 on makeup. It doesn't really matter.
It's much better to be in shape, eat right, and exercise. I often wonder, what are you doing this for? It's the same as I said with guys; focusing on how to dress is, in my opinion, the dumbest thing ever. You see a bunch of soy boys trying to dress like alpha males. No, stop it! Jack Reacher wearing a plain white T-shirt is going to look better than you wearing a Hugo Boss suit because you look like a zombie. That's just the facts.
It's a lot easier to spend money than to work out. And I know this is true for me as well. Do you see me wearing nice fashion? No, because it's just putting lipstick on a pig. I wish people would realize that, and with makeup, sometimes that's literally true. You’re basically undoing five years of global recycling efforts with a single TikTok. I don't care; they can set tires on fire for all I care. I just hate this euphemism of overconsumption. You mean spending a bunch of money like a fool? Oh yeah, I know what that is.
You're romanticizing shopaholism and overconsumption, normalizing mass consumerism. Her face probably is Botox, and that's actually a good point because you don’t see those eyebrows move at all. Botox makes any woman look 38 years old. So if you're 23 and you get Botox and plastic surgery, you’ll look 38, but if you're 50 and you get the same treatments, you often look like you're 38 for your millions of viewers who will spend their hard-earned money on your shitty trends.
The viral lip balms and other products from these overconsumption influencers know they’ll get backlash from producing more garbage in a single day than most people do in a year. They say they’ll give away all the stuff to people who can’t afford it, but influencers get way more than they’ll ever use. That’s why they donate and give lots of it away.
Wow, and here are people asking, why are people so stupid? I don’t understand this. Who cares what they do with it? Number one, why are you talking about giving it away? Number two, why are you buying it in the first place? It’s like a Russian nesting doll of stupidity. Doing it is stupid, getting mad about it is stupid, and making excuses for it is stupid. How far does this go?
It's crazy, but one of the largest product haul influencers has just been crowned as the most dishonest influencer of all time with no integrity. I love these videos because this is something you guys probably don’t know about unless you had a girlfriend. There is a whole alternate reality where there are these beauty channels, and there is more drama than you can imagine. Look at the likes on this—80,000 likes! It’s like a whole separate reality.
I feel like if you looked at my viewers, most of them are either single or married. The least popular demographic would probably be those who have a girlfriend. I either have the incel viewers who don’t want girlfriends because they think all girls are after your money, or I have other viewers who are around 30 and are already married with kids.
The online world is filled with fake lifestyles and insecurities, where influencers create illusions for clout while harming both their audience and the environment.
I love these videos because this is something you guys probably don't know about unless you had a girlfriend. So, like, nobody knows about this here. There is a whole alternate reality where there are these beauty channels, and there is more drama. Look at the likes on this: 80,000 likes. It's like a whole separate reality.
I feel like if you looked at it, probably most of my viewers are either single or married. Probably the least popular one would be having a girlfriend. I either have, you know, the incel viewers that don't want to have girlfriends because all girls are [insert phrase] and they only want your money. Then I have other viewers that are like 30, and so they're already married and have a kid. Right? So, like, there's not a lot of young 20s viewers that have girlfriends and are watching. Yeah, no, it's probably actually true, right? With two children, yeah, you guys are right, telling the truth.
You know, people are spending their hard-earned money on these products, and you're misleading them. That is disgusting. By definition, you are a fraudulent scam artist liar. Gross. Also, by the way, if I look at this right here just a minute, I think that she face apped herself on her profile picture to make her face thinner. Look at that; it could be cond before and after surgery. Maybe, I don't know, guys. Gross.
I guess at least she's like those [insert phrase] who return their clothes after filming their clothing haul TikTok. But by contouring, she's talking about the app; it's called contouring. It changes the way your face looks. That's smart! Yeah, you should make an app like that; that way, they wouldn't be lying.
Is it like those [insert phrase] who return their clothes after filming their clothing haul? It’s triggering their audience into buying all of these. That, to me, is shameless. I hate that because the one thing I don't like about this [insert phrase] is that if you want to waste your own money and be a [insert phrase] idiot, I don't really care. But buying [insert phrase] and then returning it is like [insert phrase] over the store now. These minimum wage or paycheck-to-paycheck employees have to reprocess all of the clothes that you took out for a TikTok video. It's so obnoxious.
There are a lot of fashion and lifestyle influencers who buy products and return them. Over the years, there's been a lot more reporting of fashion influencers who do these clothing hauls but actually can't afford most of the clothes they're buying. They create this illusion of the lifestyle they can afford and the clothes that they wear, but it's largely fabricated. So when you're seeing influencers flaunting their outfit of the day, and you feel a little bit of envy, just know that there's a good chance they don't own all those clothes. This is actually even more harmful for the environment because those units have to go through the transport cleaning and repackaging process or still end up in a landfill since most of the time that's cheaper for the company.
Retail companies are losing billions of dollars on people just returning their clothing after using it only once for a social media video. Most of them, I don't know if that's the only reason they're losing the money, but yeah, they completely dropped their free return policy. Well, yeah, because people buy clothes to wear it one day and take it back. Yeah, of course, and now they started charging for it—a $6 returning fee. Now I have to keep these pants, which are way too tight!
Jesus, maybe I should stop comparing myself with toxic online pixels that can easily be faked, photoshopped, or manipulated. Exactly! It makes me feel like [insert phrase], and it makes it worse for everybody. Influencers are influencing me for money, so now I've got to deal with my pants being too tight for my balls and getting in between my ass. You know what? Screw this guy! Instead, I'm going to start flaunting my wealth to my real-life friends and family so I can start real toxicity.
First, I have to check my bank accounts. Oh man, this was me IRL for like three years. Yeah, and maybe I should brag with my subscribers. I got to reach 1 million subscribers before I can become a pretentious, braggy douche tuber. So if you enjoyed this video, please watch some of my other videos, subscribe to my channel, and follow me on my socials in the description to become part of my cereal bowl. We can become the largest cereal bowl on YouTube, and I can absorb all of your fibers and nutrients.
What's up, everybody? Okay, okay, got it. I find this to be very shocking for me to see how much fakery there is with this kind of stuff because I think that what's behind all of it is a tremendous amount of insecurity. These people are massively insecure; they're trying to put on a false image of themselves to make people like them. I find it to just be so weird, man. How can you do that? Why do you do that? I mean, don't you hate yourself for doing this?
Yeah, I'll link this; this is a good video. I love watching these, by the way. I think that they're [insert phrase] hilarious.
