These parasites resell cheap items from China at 10x the value and make millions (I know one personally), and all their sales come from Facebook ads because everyone there is the most guillable person alive apparently, while just doing nothing, sometimes even not actually giving any product and outright scamming even more; it's deeply fucked up truly scam economy

while I'm here thinking that 100-200€ a month would drastically increase my quality of life and help me in so many ways, and I had a thought that well scamming just a niche of rich people wouldnt be so bad, still feels like ass just to think about it, just wish a normal job could be fine instead of having to fuck others over, just ugh how can dipshits have so much money from scamming

You're not that far off. A combination of lack of effort + prompting the LLM to produce fiction produces, I think, a perfect combination of slop that is actively harmful to their worldview while being obviously fake about a third of the way through. Sometimes, I'll just switch tracks midway and insert communist propaganda into a book that, for example, is examining the worldwide influence of Antifa reptiles.
