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
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.
I’m not making an argument so I can’t be “moving the goal posts?” And why are you starting to assume things about me personally? It’s not about me. If you need to know what I think before you can answer a question that says more about you than you may think.
I honestly don’t know what he’s done to the poor. I’ve just seen some of the mediocre-to-crappy “reality TV-style bullshit” that he creates.
Exploiting the poor for fame and fortune, and making it out as if he’s charitable for doing it.
*It always surprises me the number of people that jump to his defense. Fucking weird.
Are you claiming he doesn’t give away anything? Or that not everyone wins?
Yes.
Proof?
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?

How’d he exploit the poor?
There’s an interview with at least one of his staff who breaks down over the bullying, torture, etc. he experienced due to needing money.
“exploit the poor” is a bit of an odd way to phrase “mistreated employees”. I have seen stories is the later though.

So he doesn’t actually help people who need it? Or does he help them but he’s “a bit of a dick about it”?
