I suspect the “exploit the poor” accusation also comes from the fundamental premise of “helping people” who need it while actually benefiting yourself through fame, ad revenue, etc. Pretty much the dictionary definition of exploitation to use someone for your own ends.
Why are you moving the goal posts/building new goal posts? I thought the question was whether he “exploits the poor.” It’s cool if you’re a Beast Lover or whatever you people call yourselves. I think he’s a piece of shit, but you do you.
Huh? No, but if someone asked me to smile for camera or do something for a quick payout, I would not see myself as being exploited, but rather we both getting something out of this deal. I don’t understand what does lemmy see so wrong with this

But how did he exploit the poor? By giving them money for content? Is that what you call exploitation? Wait till you find out what “job” is
Let me guess: you thought that the Front Man was the hero of Squid Game?
