The “It ain’t much but it’s honest work” guy turned out to be okay with it. Apparently he did a lot of work with agricultural soil science and contributed greatly to humanity, so…it might be much but I think it genuinely is honest work.
That’s what I’m saying. Dave Brandt didn’t pose for that photo expecting to become famous. If you recognize him walking down the street, your reaction is going to be “hey I recognize him! That’s the ‘honest work’ guy!” But if you recognize Nicole walking on the street, your reaction is going to be “oh fuck her”
I don’t mean you specifically, I mean you in a general sense
…is it working, though? Like I think there’s a few thousand of us who now associate that face with “The Fediverse Chick” and joke about her being “our” girlfriend; this joke being more at the expense of the concept of pig butchering scams than anything else. I don’t think most of us actually hold it against the girl in the photos, because there are numerous ways those could be stolen or sampled from somewhere else.
Whatever the scam is, do we have documentation of anyone falling for it?
