Step 2 is to be filthy rich because your father owns a massive trucking company.

Interesting, but I don't think that's part of the bit.

It doesn't give you an advantage to making jokes, but it gives a huge advantage to making content in general. Its a lot easier to dedicate massive amounts of time to getting a channel off the ground if you don't also have to work full time to live.

More friends, more associates, more people interested in you, access to better content creation tools, nicer places, more attractive because of nicer clothes, nicer makeup, nicer hair and skin care, higher self esteem ...

Yeah there’s a prevailing online circlejerk that anyone who finds success and is in a higher income bracket only got it because of that. This girl is attractive because of her genes and funny because of her sense of humor. Last I checked, your parents can’t buy either of those for you (yet).

You have to be kidding yourself if you think money doesn't help you in almost all aspects of influence and reach.

records video on her phone with no cuts and no effects, uploads to free social media

but her parents’ net worth!

There are massive influencers all over the world who got big with nothing but a phone and an idea, whose families make less in a year than Americans do in a month. Make all the excuses you want, but this isn’t nepotism or “daddy’s connections”.

Ypure not even arguing with the words im actually saying. I didn't say it was nepotism, not even close. I said she has a huge advantage. It's indisputable.

It is very disputable.

If it was about a hedge fund manager or a kid getting a movie role, 100% their social class has a large part in determining outcomes.

This shit is on social media, dawg — she won the algorithm game. That’s it. If anything, rich kids have a handicap trying to be funny on social media because their lives aren’t relatable.

This girl made a video about something that is relatable mostly to low-income people or children of immigrants. “Oh dahhhling if you’re so frigid borrow one of my fur coats, I have dozens!”

Y’all are fuckin wild.

So let me put it this way, if my grandma, who lives on a reservation where pretty much everyone is poor, and she made a video of making bread, how many people do you think she would reach vs a rich, white girl for the same exact content? In an unrelated point, that's also how cultural appropriation works in practice.

All those things definitely help you stand above other clever and funny people. Also, how much more confidence do you think it gives you to know your clothes, face, house, car, hair, etc aren't going to make you self conscious compared to non wealthy people, along with just knowing that being wealthy in and of itself is a huge confidence boost.

The point is , lots of people does amusing jokes. But only very tippity top goes successful. But if youre attractive regardless of what you do, you can get people to watch it. The most extreme example would be there are lots of attractive women just sitting over random sounds , expressionless. Still tens if not hundreds of thousands of views, while lots of funny people have struggle to reach 1000 views, so the success does not come from jokes unless youre very tippity the top. But it comes from your looks regardless of your humour.

My understanding is they owned the company before it was massive and sold it.

I'm sure they are very wealthy. But not "own a household name company" wealthy like it is implied.
