Yes, too much nonsense is happening. Even if the folks are well educated. No civic sense also, always indulged in shorts/ reels even in public places. Seems people are getting easy access to money and taking hardwork for granted.

on same line as you but bro this is only possible when we will get back to nokia 3310

Seriously man. People were bit productive that time.

Why are we so indulged in someone’s life? 90% of Youtube channels add zero value in your life. They get to drive high end cars. They get to roam around.  But we as an audience are so busy watching ...

The malhan family bought a 25Cr house. Just wondering how much money does Sourav Joshi guy has. Most of them have already made 50+ crores.

These journalists are not even cross checking any news. 

Headlines are coming out from someone’s tweet or Instagram post. Poonam pandey’s news is one of the example. 

People reading this posts, please do your own due diligence and stop relying on these news portals.

Journalism in India is a joke at this point.

I don't know about you guys, but Marine Drive on weekends has become a whole new battlefield. I was out there recently, and it felt like I was dodging reels, not people. Every few steps, there’s a group of chapris making Instagram reels, blocking the walkway. It's getting out of hand, can't even walk in peace anymore.

Sure, it's a public space, and everyone has the right to do their thing. But when it starts affecting others’ ability to enjoy a simple walk by the sea, that's when it gets frustrating. Maybe the police should start cracking down on these folks the same way they handle reckless driving incidents. It's turning into a circus out there!

I get it, the internet has opened up opportunities for a lot of people, but when it starts feeling like you're walking through a production set on your Sunday stroll, something's gotta give.

What do you guys think? Is this just part of the new normal, or should something be done about it?

How come the life of everyone on social media is sooo good? 

I mean I know most of them are just pretending but even that is so tempting, here I am who always forgets to take a snap of my food before eating it! 😂😂

Working, then working out, trying to eat right, and trying to stay connected with friends on weekends feels taxing now and I feel and blame myself for losing my circle day by day as I'm too exhausted to make efforts anymore.

The night feels worse cause the silence of the city makes me hear the noise inside me even more evidently. 🥺

Late night thought!!

Marketing Associate

The internet/apps gave people a platform. Everyone is seeking to be popular without putting in the effort. There's no need for 'Deep Work' anymore. Everyone wants to give Gyan and life-lessons on LinkedIn. 

I just lament the subversion of goals and ambition into a phoney-seemingly-all-knowing-charade on one of the social media platforms.

Recently i was talking to my senior just for fun and wanted to see what exactly is this whole thing

So he paid xxx Rupees to the person for a Call 1:1 and he asked if I'm having 2.5yrs exp I need to switch to faang
This guy '22 Passout says I will give you a roadmap for 6 months you need to pay 23,xxx Rupees I will give you a referral in my faang (He is in one of them) I have the roadmap I will make sure you learn LLD 
My senior has 2.5 exp in a startup that was listening to him and eventually said I'll think about it and ended the call

Someone who has just entered is giving advice like they have worked for 5-6 years
I've seen students in college start topmate and they are in top1% stuff
Do these things are really required 
And Ego of those is such high 
They are not realising achieving faang is part of life not the whole life

The Topmate Scam!

Topmate is the kind of scam where 3rd year B.Tech student is giving a PM course for 4500₹ to a 8 yoe Infosys Sr. Engineer. 🤣😅🤷‍♂️

Engineering Manager

I genuinely sometimes don't understand how influencers/content creators earn so much money and just spend on anything. It's too frustrating to see that you work your ass off everyday for 9-10 hours and get those weekends to chill and still can't save up enough money to go to Europe for 2 weeks. On the contrary, the influencers who don't have any fucking talent just do some random bs podcast, some clothing haul, some grwm and then go to a Taylor Swift concert and go to 5 countries in a year with the most luxurious stays. Is it just me or is it frustrating for everyone to see? They will meet any celebrity, buy the latest smartphone, have the best parties etc. It's like I want that life but I don't think I'll be able to ever get there.

Rant on influencers

Project Manager

Recently my friends moved to 4 BHK apartment near Domlur. The total rent is coming to 1 Lakh for unfurnished apartment, it has some really good amenities.

All 3 of them have offices nearby, and I work remotely for a US startup. After, furnishing and one time setup, just rent is coming to 32k. I am unsure, whether moving there would be worth it or not for me.

I really enjoy company of my friends, but the rent for me is expensive + 6 months deposit. I can definitely afford to pay that much rent, but not sure whether it’ll be good decision or not because of market conditions and tons of uncertainties. I cannot back out if I say yes.

I am super confused, one side I want to stay with friends and on other side rent and deposit is worrying me.


Would love to hear thoughts of you all. 🙏

Is it worth it to pay 32k in rent for a room in bangalore if you work remotely ?

One of the reson for increase in rent especially in Bangalore is these early 20s bachelors earning min 20 to 30LPA, who think when splitted rent into 2 to 3 flatmates it will be less than 30K. They don't know the struggle once they get married and is a single earner in the family.

I also capture moments through photos and videos while on vacation, but some influencers take it to another level.

For them, the holiday seems more about being on camera than truly experiencing it. It's their job, but we regular folks can fall into the trap of comparison.

I've noticed friends comparing their real experiences with what they see in vlogs, often feeling disappointed when things don't match up.

Recently, I watched a video where Rishikesh was portrayed in such a glamorous way that it was hard to recognize. I visited Rishikesh myself two years ago and appreciated its raw, laid-back vibe, but this influencer made it look like a luxury destination.

What are your thoughts on these travel influencers?

Hi! Can you please suggest YouTube channels that you find useful?

Do you guys feel that all these years of hardwork, getting best education & hustle to get decent/top job is no way remunerative to what people on SM(insta/yt) influencers make by simply sharing their life/cooking videos/GRWM/nutritionists etc, which we audience consume mindlessly.

Does this change in career mindset going to make children opt out of higher education? I see a lot of people below 18yrs to have below average scientific mind.

Ofcourse, there are people in the same age group doing amazing stuff, building startups etc but an average kid seems lost in the digital space.

We Indians are beyond repair.

I just read an Economic Times article relating to this menace.

I feel these struggling to make revenue, made private video call feature, apparently users posted explicit content and even CHILD sxual abuse video on these streams and then now they're leaked out in the open it's incomprehensible to me how the new age internet indians are doing things.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

What is your take on the youtube shows where people openly share their salaries and discussing their finance?

Tech Lead

So I've been fed his podcasts a lot lately by the  YouTube algo. And while it's amazing one of India's best startup entrepreneurs is getting really good guests to come on his show, I just can't stand him. 

He interjects before the guests have a chance to finish their thought and at times it feels like the podcast is a platform to air his views rather than the guests. Especially his insistence on traumatic childhoods as a prerequisite for greatness and why  capitalism is best.

PS: Please don't come at me like his fans in the comments, legit want to know if this is just me or something others feel too.

Is Nikhil Kamath the most irritating podcast host?
