Just fighting for a meal to eat
You can write him off as a lunatic
But it coulda been you or me
This is what I feel sometimes when I see people doing some deliberately stupid things online. They might just be too desperate to be the next viral thing, even as though it’s too stupid, in expectation to earn some money and make ends meet.

The restaurants making ridiculous food, people doing obvious stupid trends, streamers doing fake surprises, fake podcasts revelations, families doing awful shit to each other and so on.
