A Boring Dystopia

In 2025, Stoever traveled to 10 countries while running their business, Traveler Charly Money Coaching, through which they provide clients guidance for paying down debt, building credit and saving for retirement. Six months of private money coaching, which includes biweekly hourlong calls, costs $6,000. Last year, the business brought in a little less than $60,000. Stoever takes home less than that after business expenses and taxes, but supplements their income with the occasional paid pet-sitting gig (most of the ones they take are in exchange for free accommodation) and performances at a queer burlesque.

Sounds like they roped ~10 clients into their personal financial thing, and that's where all the dough came from. "Pet sitting" is just their pleasant term for "couch surfing".

The sub literally died overnight. Crazy to witness in real time. A lot of people had/have legitimate grievances about how work and labor are handled in the US and this was during and immediately after COVID lockdowns. One basement dwelling, stereotypical reddit mod delegitimized an entire movement with a single interview on Fox "news".

No one knew they had been contacted and clearly they had no media training; I'm talking clearly unbathed, wearing dirty clothes, blurry camera/video, and spinning in their chair while talking like a school child. To say it was bad is an understatement.

Support fractured and multiple subreddits were formed to distance themselves from /r/antiwork. It was actually sad to see. There was like a week or two of fighting on reddit about it. Shit like that makes you realize how effective counter-intelligence programs are. All you need is one weak link and a moment of opportunity
