Does anyone else hate how everyone is trying to make money all the time? (lemmy.ml)

I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck 'by doing commentary', leave me the fuck alone

Well in this case it probably isn't money he is after, but attention and fame. That said, just tell him you had a past "incident" you don't like to talk about, but that your image shouldn't be on anything that might give away your current location. Lol.

I appreciate that you are trying to help here, but I'd advise against that. This is a person who shows little respect for others' privacy or feelings. Telling them a lie like this could easily result in them trying to find out what this "past incident" was, telling other people OP has some past trauma and making them even more uncomfortable.

It should be way more simple: no means no, and you're not entitled to have other people play a part in your videos.

Well of course it should be simpler, the employer should put a stop to it without even requiring a complaint. Aside from it being the right thing to do, allowing it opens them to all sorts of liability. So obviously the employer isn't very bright. The rest was part joke, and part a way to possibly play nice and still get what she wanted. Only someone who knows him would know if it would work or make things worse. So I could have put your milage may vary, but I thought that was kind of obvious.
