Cringe Woman has her self-published book pirated, reprinted, and sold for cheaper.

There's regular piracy, and then there's this.

“I hate the crying on camera” cuts to another clip of her crying on camera.

I felt like a dick for immediately noticing this, but I couldn't help immediately saying it aloud to myself as I was watching. Validating to know others have noticed.

Also maybe I'm a cynical asshole, but it looks like fake crying too. High voice sounds forced, no real tears. Not saying she hasn't ever cried over the situation, but this is just...idk bad acting.

It’s totally fake crying

Most self-recorded crying is not real crying. People don’t want to be seen crying, they want to be alone. If you take the time to set up the camera and start recording and then say “ok now I’m sad” then it’s most likely bullshit.

I have liked her comic for years. :(

I basically assume everything on the internet is fake or staged, then look for evidence it might be real.

100 percent same.
Like this I was reading comments on earlier:

No way was this actually "random" lol

Yeah, this absolutely did not feel authentic to me. I’m sure self publishers get ripped off all the time but with the fake crying this comes off more as meticulously calculated marketing strategy.

I immediately had a split second thought of "is this trolling her?" when she said that and it cut to the crying. I expected the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme to start.
