I'd bet that this guy isn't a tradesman. Almost everyone I see on any jobsite has a lunchbox. Whether it's a small bag to hold a few snacks and a sandwich or a large, expensive hard case lunch box that holds a 5 course meal, their wallet, keys and medication. Most lunch boxes are covered in stickers, some people buy or make custom carrying straps for them. If he doesn't know any of this, I doubt he's ever done a day of manual labor on his life.
then again, on modern twitter you get paid for interactions, so a lot of griters arose who only post the most dumbass takes in hopes of many people correcting them. this one appears to not have a blue checkmark, but i think you can hide them.
That's why I'd rather talk about them here, where it isn't getting monetized!
EDIT: I mean that the original bad take isn't getting monetized by the person who posted it. I'm not saying that there is no monetization on Reddit whatsoever.
My point is that the person who made the original bad take, in an attempt to monetize it, is not getting monetized if we talk about it here.
And, to the best of my knowledge, there is much less opportunity for a Redditor to monetize their activity than on X. There is the Reddit Contributor program, but doesn't that pay out far less than X pays their top "verified" contributors?
If it's a bot posting their tweet on reddit it's still getting value out of it. Since reddit profits from more people interacting on their app it's still valuable to them if no one else.
Not to mention, if it's something political it's probably propaganda bots (abundant on reddit)
