    This reminds me of a lot of tiny/beautiful house emigrant YouTubers too, except instead of parents its a remote working developer spouse

      What’s a tiny/beautiful house emigrant? Just someone who moved into a tiny/beautiful home? I looked it up on youtube and got a lot of generic looking tiny home videos. And a lot of videos specifically for people 55+ ; not sure if that’s just the demo that’s into tiny homes or if I’m being tracked better than I thought 😒

        Yeah, it’s my own little category that I have in my mind, not anything super formalized. But there’s a bunch of immigration content that depicts some kind of hyper idealized life in another country where they’re like, oh, I have this beautiful house. It’s so affordable. Everything is so great. And then you start to ask yourself, well, how do they actually have a visa? What are they doing for their job? How far do they have to travel for their job? How does any of this work? And then you see that either that a spouse is doing actually just a pretty normal job, or they themselves have some unicorn job, and the whole setup is really quite a rare/specific one. I don’t think that they’re outright lying or anything, but they just aren’t telling the whole story much like the magician
