I'm guessing those business owners are the poor schmucks in MLM schemes and the negativity is pointing out that it's an MLM scheme.

It's funny I thought Cosmo/buzzfeed style personality quizzes were extremely popular but totally uncool for a while now so it's interesting to see which ones manage to get thru and go viral among the people who would normally be sharing clickhole parodies disdaining this stuff (in this case you don't have to be Shakespeare to figure out what's appealing to these people obv)

I was trying to find out the origin of these sorts of quizzes and found this:

Talent requires hard work to perfect, but natural ability is real and helps get the ball rolling. I don't spend my time learning how to draw because I know I lack the ability to do it well and no amount of hard work will get me there.

I've also just become kind of attracted as an adult to the exercise of practicing a lot to get better at things I'm "naturally" bad at. Not that I become brilliant at them, but I find the progress I'm able to make at them incredibly satisfying, and it makes me think I probably underestimated my ability to be good at certain things when I was young on account of the overestimation of natural talent in western culture.
― socka flocka-jones (man alive), Friday, 29 July 2016 15:47 (seven years ago) link
process not product!
but yeah i find myself regularly telling kids who want to be games designers or musicians or writers or whatever to always be making stuff, in their free time, not just waiting for the 10 hours a week they spend in a classroom with somebody nagging them
― #SaveMarinaraJuice (Noodle Vague), Friday, 29 July 2016 15:51 (seven years ago) link
Drawing one kinda takes us full circle to the original 'artist thing' in a way. Like NV I think the point's not totally ill-taken, it just sounds obnoxious because the actual context of comments like this "omg you're so good, I wish I could draw!" is usually a kind of casual friendly compliment. It's underthought because it does diminish the hard work the person has put in, as if their art is some kind of neat party trick they can do and not, like, their career or their passion... but it's kind of a banal nicety and I feel like most artists kinda are willing to let those things slide when they're meant well.
