Look, even Wikipedia admits it!

Passive income is a type of unearned income that is acquired with little to no labor to earn or maintain.

    I've seen some landlord tiktok where one minute they go "I love my passive income, look how relaxing and luxurious my life is smuglord" and the next minute go "Don't you understand how much hard work it is to be a landlord!? wojak-nooo"

      It's funny in general that whenever you say landlords are useless someone always says ”but they do X and Y, it's not just collecting the money every month”, but every finance bro pro tips for life article always has i-told-you-dog ”Invest in property, it's a good way to have passive income!” in it.

        They hold both these contradictory ideas in their heads simultaneously without any kind of introspection or synthesis.

          Oh there is synthesis, it’s just they’ve squared the contradiction with: “works good for me, fuck you, got mine!”

        they do X and Y

        Goes to any forum for landlords: "How can I avoid doing X and Y for my tenants?" "Is there any way I can force my tenants to do X and Y or pay for them?"

      Landlord tiktok is only something I want to look at if I find myself not hating capitalism enough

        It is truly one of the most infuriating and cursed things on the internet, and I've only seen it through youtube videos making fun of it

          I feel like a lot of it is tongue in cheek to generate ragebait, but at the same time, they genuinely believe in their superiority

          That's like me and watching Ben Shabibo shit. His whiny voice and attempts at wit are infuriating. I can't hate watch it even if it's someone mocking him. It's like he's figured out how to use his own intellectually stifling brain prison as an offensive weapon.

            You’ll probably enjoy Gotfield. Conservative media pundit gets his own standup routine segment on fox news lol. He’s apparently a fan of that one hyperpop duo (forgot the name)
