I don't give a f*ck if you're 17 and made a million dollars. Because 99% of you are lying. Twitter isn't a real place, and I'm tired of pretending it is. Every week, some 17-year-old posts a screenshot claiming they made a million dollars. 99% of it is complete bullsh*t. Fake screenshots, photoshopped numbers, or straight-up fraud dressed as entrepreneurship. I've been in business long enough to see the cycles, and the younger generation has taken "fake it till you make it" to a criminal level. Perfect example... that 23-year-old founder flexing $23M in ARR with his class action lawsuit app. Delisted from the App Store for fraud, billing people instantly on "free trials," charging 3x amounts after cancellation, the whole nine yards. He wasn't building a business, he was committing crimes in broad daylight for Twitter clout. And somehow we've lost the ability to question any of this. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see used to be common sense. Now everyone defaults to believing everything they scroll past. When I was 14, I was playing Call of Duty and trying to beat Clash of Clans, not grinding to be a millionaire. There's something to be said for actually having a f*cking childhood. Can a teenager make serious money online? Sure, the 0.001% can. But the rush to skip being a kid and LARPing as an entrepreneur is creating a generation of fraudsters who think scamming people is just "part of the game." It's getting worse with AI, Photoshop, and the dopamine hit of validation from strangers. If you're 16 and have a real idea, go for it. But if you're just trying to fake screenshots to flex online, you're building a house of cards that's gonna collapse the second anyone looks closer. The game isn't won by who can lie the loudest. (follow me if ur not a poser)
