With a lot of this being normalized, they likely see it as low risk. If lightning strikes and they end up in the top .1% from age 18 - 21, they could be set for life. If not, the office job will still be there.

Only time will tell if that risk was worth it. I had a coworker who had a friend who put some videos out, pre-OF. Eventually her friend group found out, and she eventually disappeared to go try and start over. Who knows how many times this might happen to a person. As much as the vocal few try and equate it to working at Starbucks, it has a social cost that few are willing to bear.

if that has a social cost like losing your “friends,” you never had friends to begin with and the sooner you rid your life of them the better off you’ll be
The friends didn’t kick her out of the group, she was embarrassed and left.
ohhh that's a whole other thing... interesting that someone will to bare it all on the internet would have this type of reaction unless the group wasn't the right group...
