Hustle culture is the new set of MLM/Ponzi schemes of our time. It is a scourge on humanity, and I see no redeeming ways for participants to enjoy real, honest, legal success. I've watched participants of hustle culture in my immediate vicinity in life, and it almost always leads to participants venturing into dubious or flat out illegal activities to fund their "fake it till you make it" lifestyle. I'm convinced that the vast majority of these folks are either selling unlicensed securities, sham interests in social media / crypto / real estate / commodities / life coach etc, or they are stealing directly from the federal government via tax shams and assistance programs. The sheer number of hustle culture participants that "participated" in PPP (paycheck protection program) for example fraud is frightening.
