>random guy that breaks the long jump world record or builds the worlds biggest sandcastle or finishes Super Mario Bros 2 in world record time is famous for half a day after hundreds or thousands of hours of toil>social media influencer makes a video "reacting" to it and makes 100 times as much Explain.
>>62031870None of those things you've said are worthy of praise
>>62031870the more substantive person in this context depends on what you personally deem as more valuable, goal/mission completion, or monetary gain. if you're the latter, you'd also be saying epstein is a more important person than edison or von braun. the influencer will be forgotten by history.
>>62031870entertainment is rewarded and that's all that matters. some sperg who controls a 40 year old videogame with precise accuracy is not more entertaining then the guy who made a 10 second video about it.
>>62031870Capitalism doesn't reward human achievement, it rewards ownership of skills or assets that can be used to extract money from someone/somewhere. A streamer owns their public persona and they can use it to extract recurribg payments from a potentially endless ammount of viewers depending on their level of fame.It is what it is. The thing is that people have capitalized their minds and existances so much that to many people money is the measure of human achievement, instead of just being a tool you use to buy goods like it's supposed to be. Money has gone from something you need to live your life to something you sacrifice you life for. It is God and social status combined into a number.
>>62031965hey investor anon can you give me 10m dollars that are backed by nothing and maybe my startup with get 100m dollars backed by nothing I promise I will hire lots of smart people and if we fail then you have like 8 more chances to still make a profit

>>62031870>ooooooOoOOooooo>look at me >jumping slightly further >ooooOoooOooooo
>>62031870Why is one more "deserving" than the other? It's all pure entertainment anyway.Maybe people consider the other to be more entertaining. Or maybe they just got the other in their social media feed first.
>>62031870Such is life in the information age, everyone will figure out at some point that it makes no sense to do real things anymore. Even the reaction video guys are being crowded out by AI generated shit. Everyone is racing to the bottom.
>>62031870Those reacting videos should be plagiarism, because it's not even good content.Only niggers and simpletons like it.
