Only professionals should post advice

About damn time

My goodness no. This is yet another escalation in thought control and a signal that things are about to get worse for the Chinese. In particular China being one that cracks down on free speech appears to be showing its cards that they expect increased suffering from Financial, Health, and Legal issues, so much that they need to double down on cracking down on those areas.

I don’t see it as so bad that there are YouTubers who talk about medicine without being doctors, or who talk about other things, and I don’t see that as censorship, or when you need a doctor you go see a lawyer, lol

So similarily, can someone set up a doctors office and dispense advice like ā€œburn this sage around your painful area and then lay this stone on the nightstand beside your bedā€ and click like on my Youtube channel so I’ll get some income from it?

Maybe Youtube ā€œadvisorsā€ should at least be required to display their qualifications clearly.

In many places doctors are required for protection and transparency. Mechanics, etc. do it.

There is a guy on TicTok I followed for awhile that called himself a doctor. Found out he had a doctorate degree, but not in medicine. DUH.

And now the requisite cartoon!

This man was a doctor.

This is where he obtained his doctorate.

This was his daily regimen.

Would you trust his medical advice?

No sex?

You should be able to say what you want to say, but face consequences of the law or public scrutiny. If these people without financial degrees say things that’s against the law, then prosecute them accordingly. Otherwise, let their viewers judge for themselves. What does a degree have to do with whether people can express their views or not?

pretty sure it was satire

Can I give some advises about the poor grammars in the title? I’m a professional…

Can we see your license?

Did somebody say ā€œvicesā€?

If so, that’s definitely not just for professionals.

I didn’t write the headline, the mod who moved the discussion did.

That’s what they all say. :rofl:

Always good to see who the shills and shallow thinkers are. At the very least it’s gonna (gunnah?) be entertaining to watch the pro-oppression thought-cult fight the academic elitist cult fight the no-shit-sherlock cult :popcorn:

At the very least people should understand tyrannical regimes who have caused hundreds of millions deaths talking about further oppression vs. Professional (what a dumb word, it means you make money at a task…I was a professional english teacher, let that sink in…).

I hope you weren’t teaching typing! :grimacing:

To be fair, in today’s economy, this is increasingly becoming a legitimate way for young, inexperienced people with no skills or talent to make a relatively honest living.

:joy:

And where do these young inexperienced folks go when they no longer want to influence? Maybe wanna settle down, get off Medicaid, buy a house.

Your analyses misses that influencers trade long-term economic stability and skill building for short-term gig work.

And what defines young? I see influencers in their 30s and 40s more than twenty somethings. I don’t use TikTok though. Maybe they’re all there.

More people in their 50s and 60s for the bread lines I suppose . Yay the future!

Only Fans of course!
