Feels like everyone nowadays plays video games to try and become rich/famous rather than just for fun too. Try play Apex Legends or Warzone and everyone has 'TTV' in their gamertag trying to push people towards their streams. Even my mum asks me if I'm going to monetise my hobbies of hydroponics. "Hustle culture" has taken over and I hate it so much.

"You're so creative, you should sell this stuff on Etsy!" "Wow, this pie is incredible, you should open a bakery!" I think Californians might be worse about it than most, too. Maybe it's all the pressure of keeping up with insane cost of living, plus the feeling that there's just so much stupid money sloshing around that surely you should be able to scoop some of it up...

  Yep - I live in Palo Alto and mentioned I was training for a half Ironman. Someone asked if I was blogging my journey and what my ad strategy was to bring in revenue.
