The Secrets of GetRichQuickTok

Welcome to another weekly edition of Cyberbits—a weekly curated newsletter of fascinating finds on the internet, from random Reddit threads to weird webpages.

This Edition 

On TikTok, the 9-5 is dead and entrepreneurship is for everyone. High school students can make $100K from their bedrooms and anyone can earn six figures from their phone while sitting on the beach sipping Mai Tais. 

On GetRichQuickTok, across hashtags like #entrepreneur, #business, #wholesale, #passiveincome, #sidehustle, and #makemoneyonline, there’s an endless stream of TikTok creators sharing the secrets to building wealth. Kind of.
