I absolutely approve.
I would do it, too, if I could get over the squick of even dealing with them in the first place.

Crime seems so easy
To think I'm here, working my ass off and still broke, when I could be swimming in "These pills will grow your dick by 3 inches" money
Gotta love how genai's main use is scamming people. Revolutionary tech just like crypto, which totally superseded banking and isn't running on a pyramid of grifts.
Entrepreneurship in action, right MAGAs? Buyer beware and all that.
The reason he's a "scammer" is his lack of connection. Put him in a corporation or in government and he'd just be on task to increase profits.
There's a guy in the whitehouse in the us that does this, and they call him 'mr president'. At least to his face, at any rate.
The Cheeto-in-Chief is more a flabby senile economically illiterate pedophile rapist who has trouble rolling out of his own golf cart to cheat on camera while his sycophants tell him how skilled he is.
Most of those people probably bought Trump coins with their savings too
They're all still waiting for their Tr*mp phones to arrive from Ghina.
this reminds me of this one black guy that scammed 30k from the maga crowed. i saw his tiktok about it.
The same logic, however, apparently does not apply to left-wing influencer accounts, as Sam learned when he created a short-lived liberal counterpart for Emily on Instagram: “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much.” (Sam’s explanation for why MAGA influencer accounts work is blunt: “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it.”)
Pretty much sums up the whole political timeline we live in.
Damn I need to start scamming MAGAs. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to start a new career in the scamming industry?
One that looks pretty promising is the "5G blocker" market. There already are some that are basically a USB powered LED in a housing to make it look like a flash drive.
You can differentiate your "product" by giving it a Tacticool look and/or name. Slap a plastic housing on that with an urban camo print and call it "The 5G Afflictor" or something, and you can probably get some money from some morons.
If you use careful wording, you can keep it totally factual, too. It may not block 5G signals, but everyone that buys one does suffer no further ill effects from 5G, for example.

Password same, thanks.
If you find something and go "nobody could possibly fall for that!" then you've found your MAGA grift.
Everything you need to know is in the article.
You could run for office as a republican, they have teams of support people that will coach and help you hone your craft.

That makes sense though. There is a strong correlation between education and tendency towards liberal attitudes.
More intelligent people are more likely to be exposed to more worldviews and therefore more likely to be more accommodating of other worldviews. Whereas people who were educated in schools that don't make a huge distinction between religion and science tend to assume they know more about the world when they actually do, therefore they are more likely to believe the lies right-wing grifters.
It's also why MAGAs are so obsessed with wearing their baseball caps, they're so dumb they treat politics as a sport.

Unfortunately the article is paywalled. Are there any pictures in the article I want to see how realistic the AI girl is because most AI images are pretty obvious so I want to see how dumb these dumb men are.
There you go (article in spanish) https://www.sinembargo.mx/4794809/joven-crea-influencer-con-ia-y-gana-miles-de-dolares-enganando-seguidores-maga/
Oh it's her. This isn't a new story this has been around for ages.
I love the one of her in the military uniform, her name plate literally says US ARMY, how dumb are these guys?
Was that the one where "she" had 3 boobs?

Lately, he says he’s noticed that “pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler content” has been getting especially high engagement on platforms like Reels, speculating that an AI hot girl Nazi influencer “would blow up. It would just break all the records.” (When asked about this claim, a Meta spokesperson said, “We prohibit content that glorifies, supports, or represents Nazism, and we remove it when we find it.”)
lmao, they remove it when they find it, they're not actively looking for it. In fact, I bet they're actively trying to avoid ways to take it down.
Every "debate" "free speech" group on Facebook eventually devolved to a Nazi hangout and kicked me out for being too left wing. Everything left wing group got sucked.
It's a shithole unfortunately
Pearl Jam saw the fucking thing coming.
