when people say “everything is a grift now” they mean everything. Under neoliberalism, a first indicator for capitalism in decay, everything used to be simply capitalized on. Your support, your disagreement, whatever it was: it was sold to you on a silver plate and your activism was turned to profit.

Now your activism, any belief you may hold, the concept of your attention itself, has grifts trying to turn that into a profit. You wanna use AI? That's a grift. You're super against AI and want to check if others are using it? That's a grift now too.

Think that video is funny? Well, it was automatically uploaded to this Instagram page, run by Meta AI, freebooted from a freebooter TikTok account that steals Reddit posts, and also the video itself was AI generated.

Your laugh and attention fed the machine, but it's still hungry.
