The Legendary 200 Subscriber Influencer Deal
Ah yes, the infamous "exposure bucks" negotiation tactic. Nothing says "I'm a big deal" quite like flaunting your 200 YouTube subscribers and threatening a bad review if you don't get free stuff. Four days later, our protagonist evolves from entitlement to existential crisis. That reply is the digital equivalent of slowly putting on sunglasses while walking away from an explosion. Every game dev has a folder of these messages saved somewhere—right next to their collection of "can you fix my printer" family texts and "it should only take 5 minutes" client requests.

Just Shoot Me Instead
The only thing worse than being shot at? Someone pitching their "revolutionary app idea" with zero budget and expecting you to build it for exposure and a mythical share of future profits. That moment when you'd rather face armed soldiers than another person who thinks their "Uber but for dog walkers" concept is worth billions, yet they can't afford to pay you actual money. The best part? They always say "it's simple" right before describing something that would require a team of 20 engineers and six months of development. But hey, they're "idea people" - the hard part is already done!

The App Idea Ambush
Nothing ruins a casual catch-up faster than the dreaded "So I have this app idea..." moment. It's that special hell where you're suddenly trapped between honesty ("your idea already exists in 47 different apps") and friendship ("sounds revolutionary, buddy!"). Every developer knows the pain of becoming an impromptu technical consultant the moment someone discovers what you do for a living. The worst part? They always think their idea is worth billions, but the payment offer is "exposure" and "equity" in their non-existent startup. Next time, just say you're a professional mime.
