Drifting. Everyone needs a wide body, Engine swap, the best gear etc. because it's cosplay now.

The flip side of that coin: cars that are "modified" to be all show and no go. You can drop thousands on bodykits and wraps, as well as every imaginable LED trinket off AliExpress, and not a smidge of performance. But "RESPECT ALL BUILDS" right....
 
Necroing the thread as I was about to make one on this topic, and it was somewhat mentioned in these posts.

Cheap used things of any description. I want to literally scalp scalpers.

“Picker” videos/influencers are a plague and will bleed dry anywhere they can find something selling for less than what it costs on eBay.

PL: I'm a weeb. Like many weebs, I want to make the pilgrimage to Japan at some point in my life. Unfortunately I'm going to have to make it sooner rather than later.

Japan is being ruined by influencers. Be it getting tourists banned from a certain district due to harassing the locals, vandalizing 800 year old temples, or going to retro game shops and clearing out their inventory while calling them suckers to flip it in the west or let it sit in the background of their videos for eternity. I heard sushi conveyer restaurants are basically extinct now because influencers kept touching other people's food.

I wonder if it happens to other countries and places. Given Flatline mentioned travel destinations, I wonder if you guys could give more examples.
 
Learning new skills, tutorials, or DIYing. "You just need this, that, and the other thing, each of which individually cost more than your entire net worth!"
 
Influencers/YouTubers have ruined their own content by making it their only source of income. Ad reads, Patreon, merch that will never be worn - the list goes on. There are browser extensions like Sponsor Block, but the fact that there's even a demand for it is just sad. You can tell when a creator doesn't want to make content anymore. The passion is gone and it's a chore rather than a hobby. They keep cranking out video after video rather than swallow their pride and admit to themselves that they'd be happier working a steady job and making YouTube/influencing a hobby again.

Crusty old men on forums are like that too. I almost got discouraged from casting bullets before I even bought a mould by those folks.

Also, Larry Potterfield's gunsmithing videos are the worst for it. Very simple until he mentions using a custom tool he made (and doesn't even show it in action) or "and then I chucked it in my $100,000 lathe..."
 
The concept of pranks. Pranks used to be an annoying but harmless way to tease someone. The worst that would happen is the person being pranked would be slightly inconvenienced at most.

Influencer retards think pranking someone is harassing them with barely legal bullshit until they piss off the wrong person and get their ass beat or worse. Putting cherry Kool Aid mix into your superstitious friend’s shower head so they think it’s blood coming out instead of water is a good natured prank, getting in a delivery driver’s face and intimidating him until he feels his life is in danger and pulls out a gun is not.
