This is what happens when "hustles" are culturally considered a legitimate way to make money: it's no longer about skill or work or intelligence, it's about who gets to scam the most people. It's about how to make "passive income" in the direct meaning of the words: tons of money for doing jackshit.

It's why I think anyone coming and telling you about "their new hustle to make tons of money with" needs to be tared and feathered.

This is why people associate this shit with crypto and NFTs
