Chinese Circular Gooner Economy

today i learned about the chinese circular gooner economy delivery drivers work 12 hour shifts on meituan → tip their earnings to egirls livestreaming on douyin → girls are too exhausted from streaming to cook → order takeout on meituan → same drivers deliver it → tip again 100% efficient monetary velocity. i expect this dystopian meta to hit the west soon 外卖 美团

A bearded Meituan delivery driver in a yellow uniform holds a smartphone, with delivery boxes behind him. The caption describes a circular economy in which delivery drivers tip livestreaming e-girls, who order takeout from Meituan because they are too tired to cook, sending the money back to the same drivers. The joke satirizes internet subcultures, platform economies, and dystopian financial circulation.
