grift

An online side hustle that consists of expressing political opinions, usually right-wing, and then asking for financial support in order to continute to express those opinions. In this context, grift implies that either A) the opinions are just a performance (and not actually held by the speaker, so the grift is just an act to make money), or B) the need for financial support is significantly overstated, typically by stoking fears of being censored. Thus, a genuinely opinionated online presence with a small amount of support is not considered a grift.

Jimmy D does “soft-grifting” on his podcast. He peddles a few of his milder progressive views, but he mostly takes hard right political stances because that is where the audience and the money is.
