Spying on People

"*The ancient art of spying on people. But why do we spy? Well, because it's neat.*"
―Erik
Spying on People is the 132nd lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on July 30, 2021.

## Summary

Erik talks about his hobby of spying on people. He goes on Twitch and spies on a conversation that some streamers are having. He accidentally tells them that he's spying on them in chat, and then the chat tells on Erik by reading it out loud. He pays the streamer to say "dang, I just got spied on" but then they start spying on him and the streamer suggests they start the show.

Erik watches some 21 year old Canadian man spying on preschool Zoom classes. But this spy makes the mistake of revealing himself and blowing his cover. Then he goes into VR Chat and spies on some people having a meet cute moment. They notice Erik spying on them, so he asks them to give him some space and they start talking about him. They notice him again so they leave, but she was being suspiciously guarded about her age, so Erik is glad he broke it up. Then he realizes that they may have noticed because his avatar was Sonic the Hedgehog.

Erik plays an ad segment for NordVPN.

Erik goes into Pavlov. After spying on someone he realizes they don't have a weapon, so he gives him a handgun and the guy shoots himself. Erik uses this to demonstrate why you should have more information about a target. He knows about his students, so he decides to go spy on them on Discord. He doesn't find any etiquette discussion on his Discord, but he does find a section specifically for porn. He decides to go undercover as Robert Hanssen and infiltrates the sub to spy on his students. He plays the role of a conservative upset that Erik doesn't talk more about SJWs, but he gets so in character that he forgets to obtain any information from his students.

He admits that he's not a good spy, so he tries to learn more about the professionals. He watches a WatchMojo video about spying while getting annoyed about all of the pop culture references in the video. Then to end the lesson, he returns to the Twitch streamers he was spying on and gives them more money.

*You know, as much as things change over time, it’s nice to see when they stay the same. For instance, there’s still a youtube audience for pretty boys with 80’s lesbian haircuts acting like total jerkoffs and getting anyone over the age of consent to hate them. But hey I can’t get mad at the hustle, this dude’s doing what he loves and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just wish he loved writing jokes, you know, instead of acting like the dumb popular kid we all went to high school with who was the life of the party until everyone left town for college and he stayed behind to get his GED and become a cop who makes inappropriate jokes to everyone he pulls over. Either way I wouldn’t mind buying this man a drink, seeing as how he’s 21 years old and all, and ask him about his skin care regimen. Dude looks so young I’m starting to wonder if he’s got an adrenochrome hookup. Gonna have to spy on his twitter and see if Hillary Clinton follows him. Anyway keep doing what you’re doing big guy, don’t let the haters get you down and maybe take some comedy classes because we all know Canadians are more talented than this.*

*Man I liked watchmojo before they got all political. They used to put out shit that was based, like “Top 10 Cribs That killed a Baby” or “Top 10 Crime Statistics You Should Share Without Researching". I dunno what the fuck happened to this channel but you can bet your ass I'm gonna blame a woman for it. And for the record, spying is awesome. I'm glad I live in the country that's second best at it right below China. They can spy on me all they want, maybe I'll turn them on to some good anime in the process. Listen WatchMojo, if you don't upload something that appeals to me soon like “Top 10 Times a Police Officer Saved the Day" or "Top 10 Vaccine Side Effects" I'm gonna fuckin unsub and go watch some other top ten channel like PragerU because at least when they talk down to people they're saying
what I want to hear. Alright I'm gonna go suck my own dick in front of my webcam and see if I get a check from the government peace out bussies.*
