    Sam claimed he made thousands of dollars monthly by targeting the “MAGA crowd,” whom he described as “dumb” and easy to fool.

    Dammit, I wish I’d thought of that. Except my country would probably throw me in prison if I had :(

    How to do this but not get caught…this I must ponder.

      How to do this but not get caught…

      If you get into the article, it reads more like an advert for Gemini plagiarism tools than a Get Rich Quick scheme with a serious chance of working. I suspect he didn’t escape getting caught, he was brought in to do it notoriously so he could write an article about how amazing AI is at making money.

    They truly are easy to grift lol. Tempting to jump onboard this gravy-train of cash, too, if not for the fact that it ultimately contributes to fucking society over even more

      You are removing economic power from those who would use it to hurt others.

      How would this be fucking over society? In fact it sounds like the opposite

        You’ll invariably catch vulnerable people that can’t afford it but succumb. Just because they would likely fall for some other grift doesn’t make your unethical behavior less unethical.

        To dupe them usually requires preying on their fear or anger.

        You push them to the edge too far they’ll do something stupid. To their kids, to others etc. The pressure must relieve from somewhere. I don’t want to be responsible for that. Look at anti-vaxx rhetoric. Look at my pillow guy etc.

    Lol being a conservative must be exhausting. Always wanting, needing, or complaining about something no one but them care about.

    In addition to Emily Hart’s social media accounts, Sam also sold MAGA apparel and subscriptions to a page he created for her on Fanvue, a competitor of OnlyFans that describes itself as an “AI monetization platform.”
