Warning: Watching old Vine compilations makes me wonder where those creators went.

Some seem happy they faded out, but others just look burned by the whole thing.

Look up where they are now. Tbh, it's mostly just sad LinkedIn profiles and podcast ads.

Yeah, that bit about "sad LinkedIn profiles" is so true. I mean, I got curious and looked up some people from my old job last week, and it's just a bunch of cringe motivational posts and lame podcast promos. Idk, maybe it's just me, but it feels like everyone is trying so hard to be some kind of expert now. It's honestly a little depressing to see what people end up doing.

I get why it might seem cringe, but honestly, some of those posts help. Like, my friend's podcast about small business tips gave me a good idea last month. Those pep talks can be cheesy, but they might cheer someone up. People are just trying to share what they know or find new chances. It's not perfect, but it beats having a blank profile.

Totally get that, and it's everywhere now (not just LinkedIn). My local coffee shop has a whole wall of "hustle culture" quotes next to the pastries, which feels like the same vibe. It's like we've all agreed to perform being productive in public, even when we're just trying to get a muffin.
