It’s still crazy to me seeing grown men post things on tik Tok. But seeing alex Haeckel posting “apparently the first two people who pop up when you hit share want to ski pow with you” followed by pow stock footage was my tipping point. Like bro you car so much about anonymous people who don’t even ski. Making the caption all relatable n shit for people wh on go skiing once every 3 years. Like the fake likes mean that much to you? Where you need to angle your whole creative process to match the mainstream clicks? All I’m saying is that alex hackel used to be core af but tik tok really got to him. Lame

The only place I’ve ever seen this content is right here on NS because you posted it. Reposting something because it’s cringe is still reposting it, stop spreading this shit around

You guys are right, I'm cool with Tik Tok now because money

BagOTricksTikTok sucks and I can't stand actually watching it, but I let my fiance run one for me because it's by far and away the easiest platform to get a lot of views on, which leads to brand deals, with leads to $$.

That being said, it's also super easy to not post cringe shit on it and that Hackel post sounds pretty damn cringe lmao.


LOL yeah sure, buddy, that's why you also have a youtube account and a NS account with your stupid channel name. You're the same as the other piece of shit ski influencers.

BigmoneyMattDeath by decadence. Our society is on a path of self destruction and china only wishes to speed up the process. That's the ultimate goal of china. Chinas ever growing imperialism covers all aspects, not only boundaries (in the south sea and japanese isles) culture(the oppression of minority cultures within it's borders) cyberspace (sabotage of western ideology, the implantation of hedonistic)

Even the idea of individualism is inherently evil, if every man, every woman, every child of a nation exists only for themselves then that society is broken at its core. Our self-indulgence hits new heights everyday, everyday we stray further from a purpose, everyday.

Our society will fail, soon. Our caeser is already dead, next step imperialism, next to that the fall of society as a whole.


Lol you live in a weird world my dude, must be stressful

the whole point of being a pro skier is being good enough at skiing and marketing to sell yourself as a brand. Cheers to anyone who puts in enough work to make money off of putting a lazy stock clip with a generic caption.

If you want core skiers to be a fan of, go to your local shop and ask to talk to the shop guys. They probably won't tell you about the sick spots they know about.

All it took was me to run into a video of a girl around 14-17 shaking her ass and getting a ton of likes for me to fucking delete that app and never look at it again.

Pro skiing is only real on the sanctioned competition circuit, and Hackel is a beast pro skier.

Everything else is independent contractor brand ambassador work. It's a tricky industry to navigate for models, actors, influencers, and athletes.
When you put all your eggs in the pro athlete basket, you got no choice but to try to be all those things so you can make enough money.
Most people don't understand how the game works.

The only ways to fight it are to have enough independent wealth through a separate professional career or trust fund so sponsorships are just a vanity thing
OR
have a huge audience and influence so you independently make money on views and sponsorships are just a vanity thing or a way to amplify views.

Personally, I think it takes more time and energy to do the influencer thing than it does to work a lame job. And a lame job pays more and is more sustainable in the long run. Also, tik tok doesn't pay content creators like YouTube or Google ads on a web page do
