These parasites resell cheap items from China at 10x the value and make millions (I know one personally), and all their sales come from Facebook ads because everyone there is the most guillable person alive apparently, while just doing nothing, sometimes even not actually giving any product and outright scamming even more; it’s deeply fucked up truly scam economy
while I’m here thinking that 100-200€ a month would drastically increase my quality of life and help me in so many ways, and I had a thought that well scamming just a niche of rich people wouldnt be so bad, still feels like ass just to think about it, just wish a normal job could be fine instead of having to fuck others over, just ugh how can dipshits have so much money from scamming

I mean, that’s pretty much all of american retail
I was under the assumption that the same cheap Chinese plastic constitutes everything on Amazon, Walmart, Target, any big box store, and non-food items in grocery stores. The same cheap Chinese plastic is in competition with itself on Amazon by people with different brand names. Then you get the consumer to sign up on your email list where you sell ads for other pieces of cheap plastic and LLM as a service products. When that succeeds you can reveal your methods in online classes.
In that sense I didn’t think much of dropshipping as moral depravity. I put it in the same category as gambling - something that wouldn’t really be there in a healthier society. And in fact that conceptualization helped guide me to a place where I can find the beauty of doing honest work for honest pay in a walkable city in the presence of justice.
Wish there was honest work and walkable city lol. Huh never thought of it in the same vein, seeing how desperate for more money some of them are, adds up
To scam an american is to be glorious, scam away
I know exactly how you feel. You look at how little work it is to be a monster who preys on the weak and try to figure out if there’s maybe weak monsters to prey on or something less evil.
Then you realize you don’t have it in you to scam anyone and go to work the next day
most accurate representation of what I think
A former waitress at my work was in a 4 year relationship with a guy who was grossing 1-2 thousand ish a month (so net average net would have been $1000 AUD) drop shipping. Instead of expanding his revenue by scamming more people, he was using that money (and some of his day job money) to buy view and comment bots for his YT and Instagram videos on how anyone can be an entrepreneur while plugging his Patreon (or Ko-Fi? Something like that, I sort of zone out when he talked). He also has lifestyle advice, surprsingly. Very early on the Tesla bandwagon in Australia. In the end he was making negative money from the “side gigs” because he would renta Maserati or an Air Bed and Breakfast by the ocean or some dumb shit like that for YT thumbnails and Instagram stories/posts. She estimated he was getting 22k views on average, of which around 20k was botted.
He genuinely thought he was destined to be a slightly less shitty Andrew Tate combined with Jeff Bezos. He was like “nah if I had what Tate has, I wouldn’t be so disrespectful to women” owing to being the only son and youngest child overall to a single mother, completely missing the part where a core part of Tate’s audience thrives on the hardcore misogyny. He thought if Bezos gave investing and lifestyle advice people would like him more but he’s keeping it a secret. Like he didn’t understand that Tate was a grifter whilst attempting to launch a career as a diet grifter. He was missing the part where grifters will say things they don’t actually mean or don’t care about for more money.
It’s grifts all the way down.
Can these people even be considered proletarians?
Kulaks every last one
For every successful dropshipper there are hundreds of failing dropshippers. It’s become a MLL scheme to oversell the success of dropshipping in order to earn more money ‘coaching’ people who get sold on the lie and want to learn how to do it. It’s become another flavour of the trading industry.
Oh yeah definitely.
I was mostly referring to also the ‘small’ ones that just do ads on facebook for 1-3 products, or books, or whatever and seemingly everyone buys their shit, I have zero contact with their scamming community other than the guy I know irl and seeing myself these scams working on my relatives
