It's a good joke

But half because the logic is so terrible. That's not passive income. It's retail

Uses other people's money for both the product and service = "passive".

You're not thinking enough like a grifter to grasp the "big-picture" thinking at work here.

quotation marks = sacastic/fake in my usage, to be clear.

You’re not thinking enough like a grifter

I mean, its obviously a shit post. But I imagine spending a whole day doing fake interviews - 50 a day, five days a week, for a month - to make around $6k gross, and then tell yourself you can scale this up passively.

That's why you never stop at just one hustle!

Enough scale, and why would you keep your day-job? ... but you don't have to be smart-enough for that to buy-into and sell this lifestyle!

Congrats on pin-pointing why I leave my own true potential for grift and hustle on the table, save for moments of desperation where inaction would otherwise cost my family. That is to say, I sometimes borrow money from my mom, and that's plenty evil enough for me.
