What you describe has struck me as far more problematic online than off. I am open about being homeless, so a lot of people act like I am &quot;panhandling the internet&quot; while simultaneously refusing to answer questions about &quot;So, how can you make real money online?&quot; or outright telling me &quot;You can&#x27;t&quot; -- by which they mean specifically that they think <i>I</i> can&#x27;t, because, in some cases, that is absolutely where some portion of their income comes from.<p>It&#x27;s been pretty maddening. And I occasionally hope there is a special place in hell set aside for such people.
