Uber Beats: If someone is being more annoying than you would like, you can hire a a discreet millennial with a ballbat and unresolved anger issues to bludgeon them into a fine paste. They get paid below minimum wage, but the catharsis prevents them from complaining. And for a little more money -- that they don't see -- you get to beat them.

i got this mixed up thinking it was a saudi prince who bought over some clash of clan gamer's account but apparently (1) clash of clan has been around since 2013 holy poo poo and (2) it was some turkish dude sponsoring the gamer just to watch him play

the whole idea is to simulate some small part of the rich person experience (or upper-middle class experience) for people who aren't wealthy enough to afford their own rich person experiences

this has been a growing industry for a long time. for example, timeshares for people who can't afford a vacation home of their very own, but could afford to reserve a couple weeks a year at a vacation home so they could pretend it was theirs as long as they timed their vacations properly. but with the rise of wireless internet to simplify logistics, and the utter lack of employment law enforcement, it's really taken off over the past few years
