This still exists. Rich and popular people often have guests and friends who want to stay in their good graces to have access to free stuff.

If you have enough rich friends, you can go from one summer house and holiday home to the next and eat at other rich friends. This is much easier if you’re an artist for example and you perform or create a little art for your hosts, or just be young, pretty, and fun.

I mean, this is most influencers in general. Living off free handouts and donations while making embarrassing and cringey videos of themselves? I guarantee most of their followers are there to watch the cringe, not because they actually like or respect the person.

“We still have Twitch streamers”. Dead.

I’ll endlessly flatter you for like $200 a month. I’ll upvote all your posts, tell you you’re the best person with the biggest penis, and faithfully watch all your content. For an extra $100, I’ll argue with your detractors. You know where to find me.

That’s not really a parasite if they’re giving value back is it?

Sometimes a man needs a dinner guest!
