this isn't even just digital hobbies. I've talked about this elsewhere but it's literally even spreading into line dancing. this one choreographer is leveraging his existing respect to grift everybody into playing + streaming his AI slop songs by choreographing to them

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly
