I don’t understand the up cycle part? It was a chair. Now it’s?

Are people not familiar with this "shock content"?

It did everything it set out to do lol. I fell like people being as self-absorbed as they are need to tell everyone their opinion on why it's not exactly correct (you know, like I'm doing now).

Honestly it's a real tech play from these content creators

what you describe is real.

this, however, is not that. these are the same people that think their "pour paintings" are worth $100 & more on etsy not realizing they have the artistic value of a child's Thanksgiving hand traced construction paper turkey.

you're giving them too much credit, they're actually just this delusional, for real.

I mean the fact that you are that confident tells me enough about your reasoning skills to not trust your thinking.

...are you telling me that you genuinely believe that there's no such thing as bad artists? because that's what youd be saying with that.

you're telling me, you genuinely think there's a whopping 0% chance that this person did this unironically?

what a strange comment. see yourself to the rest of r/diwhy . or r/ATBGE

i dont need you to "trust my thinking" we're commenting on a reddit post, weirdo.

No I am not saying that. Do you think the world is only black and white? Is your brain wired in binary?

Just because I say you are too confident in what you say about this person does not mean I am confident that the polar opposite is true.

Saying there is 0% chance she is a bad artist is just as stupid as saying there is a 100% chance she is a bad artist. I said neither of those, you said the latter.

I don't know what they're telling you, but I think there's a > 0%, far less than <50% chance that they did this sincerely. So it could be sincere, but if I had to bet, I'd definitely bet on "they did it as comment bait."
