    She didn’t become a millionaire afaik.

    She has a podcast that’s slightly popular and was already well off.

    Anon might stop feeling so jealous if they perhaps stopped making up random facts, or believing lies on the internet?

    Ugh, I saw that video once, cringed and moved on. I don’t understand why this was passed around so much. But good for her for playing the game. I woulda buried my head in the sand if I went viral for bragging about my awesome schmowshem sloppy toppies

      People say her podcast is actually good. I don’t know, I haven’t listened to it, but if so, then she is playing the game with decidedly more skill than just one 5-second video clip.

      There is the possibility that she/staged the video. What better way to launch a talented career. It’s a different type of marketing.

      She talked about a blow job in a funny way and it became a meme, then she jumped to capitalize on the popularity

          She wasn’t a teacher, or working for a school. She was working for some factory in Tenn. and quit, which she was already preparing to do, when she did that interview. These rumors are just fiction.

      Explain this to me. Do you mean that 51% doesn’t include a large share of the 79% of Americans who say the country is on the wrong track? Has been for, oh, the last four years? Perhaps if the 49% had got their way instead it would have abolished capitalism and absurd celebrities somehow? As opposed to reinforcing the status quo?

    Damn, a person made a bunch of money by saying something amusing on camera? That’s crazy bro. Probably the first time that’s ever happened.

    Its called the entrepreneurial spirit. Maybe don’t slave your life away and try to do something about it.

      It’s called being exceedingly lucky, she tells you that so don’t spread bootstrap bullshit.

        Of course luck plays a factor and you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Dont put words of bootstrap BS in my mouth when i never said it. I said entrepreneurial spirit. As in she took her lucky hand and did something with it.

          That’s bootstrap bullshit dude, you’d have a point if you didn’t outright say anyone who isn’t rich isn’t trying.

            If you want to call that bootstrap BS, it stops being BS when you literally see it working here. I never said anyone who isnt rich, isnt trying. There’s plenty of rich people that aren’t entrepreneurs. But you go ahead and live in your own made up echo chamber while the rest of us live in the real world. Real world results speak for themselves.
