This whole "social media influencer" thing is so strange!
On Youtube and other sites, you come across all these people flaunting extravagant lifestyles - vacations in tropical paradises, Lamborghinis, trips on private jets, loud and shouty fashion accessories, etc., etc.
But, in the real world, that's just not how rich people behave! Nobody I know flaunts their wealth. For the most part, everyone tries to discreetly hide it. I mean, you generally know that they're wealthy and high status, and because everyone else around you is as well, nobody makes a big deal about it. It would be like running around and calling attention to the fact that you have 2 hands! Who cares? Everyone else in the room has 2 hands!
Like, I've seen videos of people showing off their big homes, and they'll have ridiculous stuff like this...
But, it's almost a parody! Like, it's what a poor person thinks rich people have!
So weird. I'd never heard of the Timepiece Gentleman until all these threads started showing up on WC. I'm a big believer in "rapid cognition." I went ahead and clicked on a couple of his previous videos. I mean, genuinely, just from 2 seconds of video my gut would simply say, "Oh, this dude is either a) incidentally rich - like a music star or pro athlete, or b) a fraud."
It's craziness to me that people actually believe this is how someone with money would really behave / talk in real life!

Dude, it's MARKETING! He says so himself and he has such an honest face.

Yeah, there is nothing trustworthy about this shyster whatsoever and I am amazed that even mouthbreathing imbeciles don't see through it.
Actually, his rationalizations are so inane that I must quote them in their entirety.
Occam's Razor tells us that this is a self-indulgent egotist of an ex-con that overspends such that he repeatedly must resort to fraudulent scams and is arrogant enough to think he can lie and charm his way out of it again and again.
I still don't know who this guy is...🤷🏻.
Apparently watching microbrand reviews, the occasional Marc at Long Island Watch video, OAFnation, The Shawn Ryan Show, and Critic Role has left me completely out of whatever loop I need to be in to be a real enthusiast.
Oh well, hey there's a new Hammer and Bolter episode review...🤔🫣😎
Yes, there were several pro wrestlers that did this exact same shtick. Even people that got hit in the head for a living knew it was tongue-in-cheek and meant to make them unlikable. I guess maybe underclass preteens fall for it?
Besides the presumption that he is under the influence of a few addictions, it also seems that he was really hoping for someone to offer him a reality show (and he was naive enough to think that would pay well enough to cover all his past lavish foolishness).

Kim K and Ray J “private” tape accidentally leaked. That’s called Marketing. No difference.
You mean anyone over 40 IQ.
It's not an age thing. Hype culture in social media mostly targets low education, low income people that can more easily be tricked by marketing chimps to spend their hard earned money on an expensive experience or item just to take pictures for instagram. And remain poor in the process. It's a vicious circle.

This is very true. Most of the really wealthy people that I know, and I grew up with, well they spend a lot of money and effort to make sure that their wealth is not apparent or obvious.
I only saw displays of wealth, either real or made up, on social media. But as they say:
