In search of alternatives to increase their income or even work entirely online, many Internet users have found different ways to monetize their activities on the web. However, the seduction of quick and easy profits has led many to overexpose themselves.
The most recent trend that has caused debate is “NPC lives” on TikTok. In it, streamers resemble video game characters, repeating phrases and adopting childish behaviors in the hope of receiving gifts and donations.

However, this is not the first time that dubious or even fraudulent practices have gained prominence in the digital sphere with promises of financial returns. Therefore, we decided to bring a few more so that you can stay informed and be very careful. See below!
Online Financial Pyramids
Frauds known as financial pyramids, in which participants are encouraged to recruit others to invest money in exchange for potential returns, have proliferated in the era digital.
In these schemes, new members usually have to pay a fee that is directed towards the older participants, while promised products or services are often non-existent or fraudulent.
With the migration of these practices to the internet, experts warn about the need for caution. Promises of quick and easy profits, lack of transparency in the proposal and initial investment requirements are red flags. In addition to the risk of financial loss, those involved may face problems such as data theft.
Disclosure of Betting Houses
The sports betting market has seen significant growth recently, with almost all Brasileirão Série A teams being sponsored by companies in the sector. It is estimated that the investment in advertising for these homes exceeds R$3 billion this year.
However, experts warn of the risks of exaggerated and misleading promotions, and reinforce the prohibition of access for minors. Although the activity is legal, it is vital that users proceed with caution.
Cutting Channels
The popularity of short content, such as program cuts and videos, has grown on social media and streaming platforms, following the success of podcasts.
While the trend favors those looking for faster content and even helps promote some creators, monetization remains uncertain.
Platforms like YouTube restrict the reuse of third-party materials without significant additions, raising copyright concerns.
“Pack do Pezinho” market
The interest in feet, known as podolatry, has not only sparked memes, but also a promising market segment. The “foot pack”, which is a set of images and videos of feet, has attracted models in search of profits, without the need for great exposure.
Platforms like Feet Finder and Dollar Feet connect sellers to customers, charging fees for registration and sales. Despite the costs, many say that the financial return justifies investing in this not-so-hidden niche.
OnlyFans
The adult content market, already consolidated on the web, has seen a recent trend with the entry of influencers and celebrities.
Platforms, such as OnlyFans, where creators such as Anitta and Thomaz Costa make sensual material available, operate with subscription systems, allowing the definition of values and the offering of discounts.
With the success of this model, other sites focused on nudes also gained space, attracting even anonymous people. Although there are safe mechanisms, experts warn of caution when sharing intimate content online.
