[@jelmervanriet790]

Totally feel that 'not mad at her, but mad at the system' feeling. Companies and the like have found that a click is a click and a comment is a comment and that finding content that a lot of people don't like is much easier than finding content that people do like. So now a lot of attention goes to mediocre or even bad types of content and takes away even more of the spotlight of people who do try really hard. And while nobody deserves succes, it does feel quite unfair when so many people who try really hard for a long time dont find much succes but it basically falls into the lap of another pretty girl who makes a random comment. Because if succes really is random, why bother trying at all?

[@KudosREAL]

It's taken me a lot of failure to realize this but as a creative if you only chase success for the sake of success you will get burnt out when you see how unfair the system is, but if you make something that you are proud of and you enjoy then you have already succeeded champ. Even this dumbass video had me up til 1am locked in doing funny edits with a big grin on my face and that was arguably more rewarding than seeing the views tick up

[@Greatdictator]

@@KudosREAL I think part of the reason people are as annoyed by that is because of how much of a struggle it can be just surviving for some people, especially creatives, this of course varies with where you live. But you are correct when it comes to making sure if you get into something creative expecting sucess, its the wrong attitude to go into it, especially youtube

I have had no clue who this girl was for like the past few months, but I have been watching Bub Games and one of the funniest things is when he pretends to spit on somebody. Just the concept of pretending to spit on somebody but being unable/not having the balls to actually do it is absolutely hilarious to me. The girl kinda brings a hazbin hotel seth rogan vibe to the joke and it's a shame that's all most people see it as. It's much funnier with a broader mind than, "haha sex joke" 😂

I think it's worth noting that a large number of people who found it funny, and consequently shared it as a co-worker meme, genuinely thought that the idea of someone "spitting on that thing" was outrageous and hence humourous. Their thoughts are along the lines of "who would do that?" or "what a crazy thing to do!".

I hate the meme, but she seems nice, she's charismatic and I actually don't mind that she's getting cashed up off a throwaway. It could be someone shitty so at least she seems decent 🤷🏼‍♀️

If I was in her position I'd definitely be cashing in lol, can't blame her at all

[@toolittletoolate]

I mean we know nothing about her personally we've just seen how she holds herself, But based on that yeah I agree. If you didn't take advantage of this you'd just be leaving money on the table.

[@videogamenostalgia]

It's just sad to see her express a hope that "Hawk Tuah" isn't all that she ends up being famous for. Suggests she's not being very realistic about her situation.

[@ikthranithul6000]

@@videogamenostalgia Hope has nothing to do with being "realistic" about your situation, I'm sure children dying of malnourishment in third world countries still have hope they will see the day they turn 16/18/21 or whatever age is the norm for being an adult.

Saw a bunch of the merch stuff on Temu, its hilarious. Also literally the day I learned about the meme, I jumped on Destiny 2 and saw someone had changed their name to Hawk Tuah. Like you only get, I think 2 name changes for your account and you wasted one on that, jfc.

[@matildarose]

Honestly, sounds like she's just making the most of a candid meme. She might let herself settle back down into comfortable obscurity so she can go back to doing what she wants to actually do for a living, and let this be akin to winning the lottery.

[@TopsailKayakFishing]

Algorithm is even more interesting when you see how it’s built. The measures that phones go to in order to build the algorithm is amazing. I work in digital forensics and review phone artifacts and logs. Phones record active screen time, facial attention, screen orientation, dwell time, app switching, repeated focus, screenshots, sharing, audible response, facial response, etc. Not only does the “algorithm” measure the audiences willingness to view something. It records and turns their actual reaction into tangible data.

[@videogamenostalgia]

That's not "amazing" it's horrifying

[@undefinedusername2359]

It's funny you mention the 'co-worker meme' spin, because the first place I heard of 'hawk tuah' was my co-workers (particularly, my managers) discussing the video at work. Time and a place means little I guess when you're in charge. The first time I actually saw the clip was this video. Happy to keep my knowledge limited. Thanks for the video.

[@TimEek]

I do feel like part of why it went so viral is because the "hawk tuah" is so far yet so close to the sound of starting up and then spitting spit that it makes it funny.

[@KudosREAL]

It's very cartoonpilled

[@kevindaydreamer]

I can't wait till everyone forgets this meme. I will not understand how people got offended by the meme or person.

[@Hegataro]

I saw the instagram clip version, went "okay?" and that was that I was absolutely baffled when I found out that THAT became a meme, out of all things I genuinely can't comprehend the type of person that would find hawk tuah funny to begin with, but for it to be such a % of the population that it warrants her being paid 30k to judge a bikini contest AND be given a podcast (granted it's on Jake Paul's platform). That's what makes it feel like an industry plant, because who even finds anything remotely funny in that clip?

Honestly, I have thank you for covering this meme. I had no idea what the meme was before now. My only encounter was seeing a bunch of teenagers wave the "HAWK TUAH 24 " flag at a certain outdoor political rally, and i figured it was a dumb conservative meme. Instead, its a dumb meme that happens to feature a cute girl with a country accent, and the boys where just taking a piss at politicians. Only for their efforts to be upstaged and outmoded by a completely different meme format at that very event.

I think memes like that should'nt really be anywhere near profitable unless you're already a public personality, there are exceptions, sure, but just because you had a funny response in the level of a friend group gathering joke does not mean you should be famous.
