      usually the most notable consequence of some high-visibility event (in millennial media outlets anyway) -- viral take, mostly fruitless protest or hashtag -- is that one or two Leaders will get a book deal, some of the top followers get clout, and everyone else gets an indulgence

      this doesn't make those leaders or top followers "grifters" in the correct sense of that term. It's not a grift if the activity has the outcome that the primary organizers hoped it would have, of elevating their brands

      Umm.... So the fulfillment of the organisers' intentions excludes the possibility of a grift? That seems.... Wacky.

      The intention is to build the brand. It’s always a commercial enterprise, in the marketplace of ideas. To think otherwise is naive (though even the person who gains clout may think otherwise). But it’s not bad faith on their part, or a grift. It’s just life

          If the professed intention is something other than brand-building (and by definition the professed intention of The Work is always more than that), and the actual intention is brand-building (again, by definition always the case), then it can't be anything *but* bad faith.

          Therefore it would seem The Work is by definition always bad-faith, and always a grift, even if unintentionally so.
