Do you have a favorite person you enjoy on social media? I think most people do. Many seem trustworthy. They seem like good people. Some are not what they appear to be. Instead they have curated an image of what good looks like on the outside, but inside it may be a different story. This bizarre world of content creation can contort one’s soul. It can lead a person down a money-making pathway … but at what cost?
Entering the arena of content creation has damaged my ability to enjoy other Channels. Although I do consume content, the moment I detect a hustle, I have to figure out for myself: (1) did the person just make a mistake or (2) are they running a scam. It’s harder to determine who is trustworthy in this content creation economy.
With Seniors, they are at risk of being hustled by the smile-in-your-face types that use gentle language, that come across as kind and sweet. I’ve seen many women run this game on other women. Relationships are essential to women. That’s a very natural part of the female personality. Other women, who dress in sheep’s clothing, know how to manipulate them to get them to believe the story. Once you get hooked into the story (whatever it may be), the She-Wolf has her claws dug into you and you don’t even know it.
Maybe the She-Wolf is complaining one day but adding a positive spin to it, and drops hints of something she needs or wants. Wouldn’t you know…someone decides to send her the gift of the very thing she hinted for…what a coincidence! It must be fate you might think. Well think again. It’s a tactic. It’s actually a hustle. It’s someone who knows how to initiate a small-scale scam to their audience in hopes 1 person will fall for it. And you know what, it works.
I write this to issue a warning to the Seniors that follow my work. There are people who appear to be one thing but are not what they seem to be. It does not matter if they wear a cross, or claim to be a Christian. Many claim that but still run scams. Before sending anyone any type of gift, look at how they live. Not how they lived 5 or 10 years ago, but right now today. Do they have land? What about a house? Do they have immaculate lawns? Do they have lots of let’s say farm animals? What about a nice car? I suggest you observe what you see and not just what the person is telling you. There are plenty of people who truly struggle that may need a gift more than the She-Wolf. Do not be hustled by a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Excellent article,well said ! I can point fingers at a bare minimum few who are doing this and one in particular that I found just as you said I think is a fraud! How does one go about having them removed for such a scam ? maybe u can do a follow up on that .
Thank you for reading my article. The only thing within anyone’s power to do is to watch the channel which supports it, or to avoid watching which removes support. Finding channels that fit your value system is probably the best thing I can think of at this moment.
Excellent article and advice! I always feel some kind of way once they start a wishlist or hinting about things they “need “. Like you said, you have to pay attention. 🫶🏽
I had no idea the amount of money channels made before I started my channel. I’d see a large channel say “we’re not rich” and I thought they were honest. Now I have a different opinion on the matter!
Quite a few people do that exact thing. If you watch regularly you catch the inconsistencies. Shame people are so deceptive.
You can definitely spot the inconsistent storyline within a channel. When it comes to finances if I hear content saying they have no debt but then hint for gifts, money, gift cards … it’s a sign to me they are fishing. If they can hook 1 person to the “need”, then someone will fall for it.
I was thinking about this topic yesterday very interesting it’s in the atmosphere. However as a Christian ✝️ I would probably not even write about it I would take it to the lord. I think judgments like this are dangerous ground. God hears every prayer so if I have this thought towards someone I will pray about it and for God to help them see the truth and intervene if he sees it necessary. Ask God to speak to their hearts encounter them whatever it takes lord Jesus. 🙏 I hope my comment will not offend. Bible does instruct us to take ALL things not some not to the internet ir neighbors that too me falls under gossip take everything to the lord in prayer and Thanksgiving. Personally I can’t say everything about a person because people are complex. Some Christians do live one foot on the world still but they can get there. I’m very devoted to Christ but I can’t say I’m perfect.
May God bless you 🙏
Thank you for reading my article. God Bless You, too.
