Agreed.
It genuinely makes me feel sick.
In other news.
Has her super cringe bio update been shared?

for me, it's visible on app
but not desktop

Babe, same. What gives me a bad feeling about it is that Twitter is not just encouraging and enabling grifting, they’re normalising it. I don’t want to sound all tin foil hat, but I get a feeling it could have serious social and cultural repercussions. It’s hard to explain, it’s just one of those gut instinct feelings.
And of course, as others have said, people that are genuinely in need will be too ashamed to ask, and the ones most likely to donate are those that don’t have much spare themselves.
Just realise what poor writing that bio is with the two asterisks in it. Not that it matters, but if you were a real writer you would know that using them for referring to things and as a way to censor the 'duck' bit it introduces ambiguity. Her desire to be clever/witty overrides sensible use of characters.
Or in other words: Why is everything she writes such hard work to read???
It also shows how there isn't a proffesional social media person or editor touching her stuff at all (I assuem she's too stubbron to take on one)
I can't wait for Gen Z to call balls on the gig and grift economy and to re-invent/rediscover unions.
Other supermarkets are available. You aren't funny Jack. That is just try hard. Get some originality, give the plebs something for their hard-earned.
Honestly to me this donating thing is a wider analogy for no longer having appropriate support from the state. GoFundMes in the states for healthcare are a necessity for many now. The UK is going this way too.
And that's with reference to people who need the dosh.
People like Jack grifting to me represents the entitlement these media luvvies have. They seem to think saying bung it in a curry and posting recipes on a website (which everyone from small time influencers through to Delia bloody Smith does because it's not 1997) means they're entitled to donations when they are ALREADY monetising this work through ad revenue/brand collabs/bylines etc. I know we joke about Mr Sm*lB*t (no google alert for you sweaty x) but they all just seem so ENTITLED and at ease with openly accepting donations.

@bladiesla and @LavaFlake thank you, what you both said really gets to the point of it, and I couldn’t articulate why. It’s like employers will be more able to justify an unlivable wage if anyone can just “top up” on Twitter. It‘s SO wrong.
I bet creepy robot bloke puts a tip jar.
I have to unblock her to look at her page but it’s not showing for me either!Weird.
I can't see it on the app either
I had to refresh to see the tip jar on the app. It’s definitely there.
It's still not there for me, but I think lots of the changes to twitter roll out like this. I always seem to be the last to get them - like, people will be chatting about the change in format or whatever and I'll have no idea what they're going on about until 2 days later, when it finally hits.
Now that SB is grown up, she could go back to the fire service since she loved it so much and was the hero (of the telephones).
I remember debating with myself whether to support Jack's kickstarter - I have limited funds so try to spend carefully, I know how complicated and time consuming putting a book together and publishing it can be, and felt at the time that it wouldn't necessarily be the best thing for Jack to be doing so opted to support another book project instead (which resulted in a beautiful, unique end product I'm proud to have supported, so I had the last laugh). Hard agree that what Twitter is doing here is normalising something that takes us even further away from those mutual aid days (which isn't surprising)
Jack when she spots a new squiggle enthusiastically interacting with her tweets.
I can't believe how quickly she's jumped on this new opportunity to grift, except upon 3 milliseconds of reflection I absolutely can believe it.

I read that in his squeaky/gravelly voice, absolutely brilliant meme for her.
Pocketses. I die.
It’s definitely there for me. Can’t believe how quick she’s jumped onto it.
Just shows what her true love is, money.
Anyone fancy sending her 1p and saying “STOP GRIFTING” as the message?!

Don't, she'll harvest your details and get her BUSY lawyer to send you some nasty threatening letter from Israel.
I wish I had the balls to send it...
