My all-time favorite GunTuber, Paul Harrell, was a household name among gun enthusiasts. Anyone serious about the topic was well versed on Paul's videos and reputation, a "household" name so to speak.
His presentations were fascinating as they were done in the classic teaching format, no hype, no braggadocio, no opinions, no politics. Sprinkle some dry humor in as well! He presented topics as scientifically as he was able, and made any imperfect comparisons clear.
Paul didn't hit 1M subscribers until he was nearly dead, only because we all "chipped in" after his cancer diagnosis. He never once asked us to "Like and subscribe!", because he didn't give a shit. He was there to educate.
His last video was simply titled, "I'm dead." I'm getting weepy again. Here's the sort of man he was:

Notice he doesn't cut the video once. He practised every presentation until he could give it without interruption. That's a level of dedication to his audience I have not seen since. Paul cared about what he was doing, and he respected us, his viewers.
Anyway, we followers weren't fake.

volunteering for politicians
the campaigns get money. make them pay.
The campaigns get donations. Some donations are money, and other donations are time. Seems fine to me.

"I got a job offer because of xyz family member".
I heard this from a guy I know and I did a double take thinking huh???? Is this really something to talk about publically?
I mean if I were them I would never openly say this out of shame/embarrassment but eh maybe it's just me?🤷♀️🤷♂️

I fucking hate when people brag about not having time to sleep. They're looking down on others for basic self-care, making it seem like taking care of a basic human need means you aren't hard-working enough. Even though sleep actually makes most people more functional and productive.
The people who are proud about being self reliant and not needing anybody, when it’s just masking for their loneliness

"I'm a quick thinker", "I think fast", "I act before thinking", and similar.
What the person is actually saying is that they're OK being a dead weight and a burden to the others, due to their poorly thought actions, because they're too lazy to think properly on things.
I can flex my arm in such a way that my shoulder blade juts out, allowing me to grab my shoulder blade with the same-side arm. It can freak people out
Weird flex, but ok

Flexing with messaging apps (especially with iMessage or Whatsapp).
Not sure I understand, how does someone flex about an app?
Some people flex with products from giant American companies. Specifically for apps: if their messages are sent in green bubble, some (not all) people will ask arrogantly ask: When you will get an iPhone? Android is for cheap/poor people/kids. Or if you tell them they can find you also on Signal too: When you will get Whatsapp? Signal is for losers/people with no (social) life. I am glad that I don't use any those 2 apps.

Choosing to run Plex or Jellyfin or Emby or whatever else over something else.
Choose whatever you want and enjoy your media. Stop trying to convince others to join you, it's unnecessary.

Making as much noise as possible at every fucking place and every fucking time. Even worse if you are a motorcyclist or a driver of a car, bus, or truck. Or when you're putting music non stop all day long, even late at night.
That and bragging about using AI. Like, seriously? Are bragging about destroying the world, displacing workers from their labor and stealing other people's works without attribution, consent, or compensation. Fucking bastard.
I don't think I have seen someone flex about having driven someone off some platform before honestly. I do block a lot though.
Calling me out because I was not bigoted. Didn’t really understand that one, but it was clearly meant as a flex over me.
I'm weirdly great at parallel parking. Its my only real marketable skill, so I tell everyone. Lol.
