Iirc they elevated her because of some bizarre sense she was outshining pride month somehow?
So yeah not surprised that collapsed like a soufflé on a megabus
If you do want to know, Matt Bernstein did an in-depth explainer 4 months ago on his podcast/YouTube channel.
Having watched it, it is my opinion that one can live a full and happy life without ever learning this information, but I like to choose these things for myself, so FYI.
It was an extremely disgusting, and hype driven madness to begin with. Nothing's worth a damn in some peoples world unless it's funny with an edge of smut. Well not in my world. In my world, you bring value to others to enhance, uplift, and empower them, then by default, the entire world. #innovate
So you're saying that huddling around someone whose fame was entirely the result of a single amusing answer to a street interview question is a BAD idea?
It was kind of insane to watch “the rise” even happen to begin with (but that’s society today, is what it is and a different conversation), never mind the crash and burn part 🤯
She is one of the reasons I look at our country, and have to scratch my head.
Besides billionaires, I have zero interest in these stars that are “famous for being famous”. Worthless.
And she became famous for that?!
How embarrassing.
Trump gives permission to people to be the worst possible version of themselves, and that’s a hell of a drug.
He’s the opposite of a leader who appeals to “the better angels of our nature.” This country has never lived up to its highest ideals, but we can keep trying.
My understanding is they're mad because she dumped too early, making it impossible for anyone to profit but her, and leaving even early adopters as bag holders
The most surprising thing about this whole situation is how well she was able to leverage her popularity off of a meme. Well done to her, but launching a crypto coin scam felt inevitable at this point.
"Scam crypto coin" is the definition of every crypto offering. And no matter how hard they try to pretend, it isn't and never was an actual coin. Scam? Since the beginning.
I'm pretty sure every coin since Bitcoin and maybe excluding Etherium was made specifically and expressly for the purpose of making a profit. It's all stopped being an actual currency a long time ago
Take a glance at her twitter and it's just her begging Elon for attention surprised she had this much "good faith" for so long, I've just been waiting for her to go full mask off neo nazi for a while now
But ... but you NEVER REALLY expect that investing your life savings with a 20 (?) y.o. financial advisor who's credentials are joking about oral sex COULD ever go wrong.
It's like "Madoff: Part Deux"
Thanks to her I ended up spending my entire Thanksgiving explaining what hawk tuah meant. I have the least online in laws in the world and now I'm traumatized
It's unfortunate that someone who seemed to be a positive influence is now involved in a questionable venture. Scams can have serious consequences, and it's important to prioritize transparency and ethics in all endeavors.
It would seem yet another soul has succumbed to the alluring siren call of grifting. What a pity, indeed. Perhaps it is time to redirect one’s energy toward those truly deserving of it.
I just watched a video where a guy told his followers shit coin is a scam, he made a shit coin called “shit coin is a scam” and then he made out with $12k while berating them for falling for the scam!
Ya it was other scammers trying to get in and out of the scam quick for tiny margin. These people just Circulate the same scams hoping to come out on top. Game of inches. One big joke.
If you're on the right wing grift circuit and you know your time is limited because you're basically a meme, you might think "how can I cash out my rapidly dwindling credibility" and BAM a memecoin is born.
it was really only a matter of time, the writing was on the wall as soon as she signed on with one of the Paul Brothers and started praising Twitter the wr
She was managed by Logan Paul. I've paid as little as possible attention to her, but my gut reaction is that he paid her a few hundred K to promote a shitcoin then he and his buddies rug pulled and left her holding the bag.
I hope this is an exit scam and I can stop hearing about her. Memes getting driven into the ground is bad enough but there’s something exhausting about when they try to keep the meme going to launch some sort of moneyization/career off it.
You only start a scam coin at the very end of your public notoriety, otherwise you're forced to become a living pro wrestling villain like the Paul brothers
Whaaat? You’re telling me the lady who immediately tried to capitalize on her viral moment did a crypto scam??? And it’s utter chaos? I never could have guessed, popcorn?
On the CoffeeZilla space he hosted after the Hawk Tuah space disaster, a guy said that the main dude who was running the project is a known scammer in the crypto space and has done this at least twice before
I've seen a lot of people say she didn't know any better but that's naivety isn't an excuse. She's an adult who made a decision and is now facing the benefits and consequences of that decision.
Kinda funny how the ironically renamed random “Hawk Tuah” videos on YouTube and random Hawk vids (there’s literally an ancient “Hawk Utah” video now making rounds) are doing better than the progenitor of the meme herself.
Thomas Tusser said "a fool and his money are soon parted"
As it turns out, that saying is _even older _ than Dunning-Kreugerrands.

maybe I should start a TusserCoin in his honor?
When I saw the hawk tuah thing, knew the girl is moron and is going to take advantage of this. There are two types of people into nft & crypto: low IQ dumbasses getting ripped off of their money & the slightly higher IQ just smart enough to take advantage of those stupider than them. Both bad ppl.
ffs...of course she got tied into bs she didnt understand. Its an innocent but clearly not sober bistandard that is riding a wave of populairty for financial gain during a fucked up economic period and its landed on bullshit. Im sure shes an ok person but she doesnt know wtf shes doing.
Scammed who?! The fuck was the scam other than an idiot listening to scummy pos catching idiots? Jfc sure she aint innocent but she also doesnt know wtf is going on other than hshw I make money they give me money. Jail ofc but also shes kind of riding on that dipshit fame train.

I’d be just as embarrassed to be named in that lawsuit.
I can only see this being topped by the Rizzler if he commits a heinous crime.
Unc status achieved.

America is becoming seedy like Trump.

Her only noted skill was performing a sex act
she thought she might as well 😂
crime tuah pump and dump that thang
Just because its available to everyone doesnt mean everyone should use it.
cool stuff
It's like "Madoff: Part Deux"
I need it to be over.
I thought it's going to be inmortal...
ground tuah halt
Come to think of it those people won't be donating those money to republican campaigns.

HAWK TUAH AND SPIT ON THAT THANG.
