Son over here sounding like he about to be the new character in Mr. Robot with a splash of Breaking Bad in there.Getting some Nomad vibes from OP
I earn my living by selling social media usernames, which technically is sort of in a grey area.
My illness has essentially handicapped me and since I can't really perform much physical activity, much less continuing my higher education or work, I had to find some sort of hustle to help with the medical bills, save up some money and provide for myself.
A good friend of mine I met through xbox introduced me to the market of social media usernames, and I partnered up with him and another friend to start a joint venture of sorts. Gamers here will probably know what TwitchTV is; my friend discovered a vulnerability that allowed us to bruteforce accounts (rapidly forcing logins with a username and password list) at very high speeds. Admittedly that's kinda crossing a line because you're breaking into people's accounts and selling them but we only went after accounts that had been inactive for years. As we obtained accounts, we then changed all the security information and sold them on an online marketplace. I sold about 150-200 accounts, which ranged from $10 to $200, the average being around $40. It helped keep me busy and also taught me some valuable business knowledge. Eventually the site's staff caught on and because I was a little bit careless in masking my steps, I received most of the witchhunt that followed. An admin even threatened me with jail at some point.But it wasn't that serious as I live on the other side of the ocean and they only know my online alias. Eventually they patched the loophole in their security by accident, so I contacted the admin who threatened me and offered to provide additional security information in exchange for being allowed back on the site with an account of my choosing.
He agreed to that and added that I would also stop all account theft/sales activities, which I've upheld since then.
I then moved on to other social media platforms such as Kik, Xbox and Instagram but I don't use any blackhat tactics to acquire accounts anymore.
On IG for example I use a custom built program that rapidly scans a username list for availability. IG has a policy of resetting inactive usernames, allowing them to be created again. So essentially what I do is continuously scan a username list and if something good pops up as available, I take it. No malicious methods involved.
Still helps keep me busy on a daily basis at home and I can provide myself and help with the medical costs that come with my illness.

Why would someone PAY for a username?

There's 2 reasons. The first and the most common is to flex. It's a status symbol.
Second is marketing purposes. The username "fitness" or "fashion" on IG for example will attract a significant amount of followers solely off the name, thus making them easier to grow and monetize.
An instagram can range anywhere from $10 to $10000. Obviously the latter is an extreme outlier. Examples of the $3k-10k range would be stat accounts (popular pages with hundreds of thousands of followers) and 1 letter usernames. If you look up 1 letters usernames on IG you'll see that most of them are owned by arabs. Because they range from 3 to 10k, they're seen as the ultimate social media status symbol and rich arabs are more than happy to buy them

Wasn't aware of the above reasons, I don't see why regular people couldn't just add a underscore or number to their name or choose something different altogether
But for celebrities, they need those handles for simple branding so all their social media is the same
Or name changes
For example, Young Thug claims he is about to change his name to "No, My Name Is Jeffery", so I'm sure that username is already taken up and is for sale

No My Name Is Jeffery would be too long if he's not trolling and really changing it to that.
Jeffery would sell, either to a Thugger fan or someone with that name. Rap monniker usernames are quite common actually. I've personally sold 2 (@bigkrit and @bankrollfresh) but there are many more on the market. Sometimes even corporations buy usernames. I forgot which country it was, but I believe it was Iraq or Israel who bought their twitter username. True story.
And Chandler Riggs' (Carl from the Walking Dead) current IG username was initially sold for 10k

ahh lets see...
High school skipping partys at my house
Stole cash from my dads wallet everynight while he was asleep until i felt guilty and stopped.
Smoking tree in the house with parents upstairs
For a good 5 years i was on a stealing streak from Macys, Nordstorms, JCPennys...until i got caught and stopped
Lying to my parents if i tried to get away with whatever reason i needed to
Forging moms signature at HS for notes to leave early
Stole tree that was at a house party, probably a little over an ounce
Cheating
At one point in our lives we rented our basement to this single fine white broad. I was 12 years old hornbag and she was living literally right below me..i was crushing hard. Memorized her routine and when she would leave the house i would sneak down and smell her pantys ahhhh man. Never got caught but she did move out when the contract expired sadly
thats all thats coming off from my head

Easier for ppl to find you ...if you username is the same as your artist name then no problem for fans to check you out on whatever social network ...like if you DCAllAmerican but your IG/Twitter name is DCAllAmerican_1234 that's harder to connect the 2 to the same person

it is important to make the distinction between the dominion of dynasties and the meager possessions of men. although ill-got gains at the expense of an established merchant scarcely offend me, only deathly straits could drive me to rob a fellow commoner of all he has earned through the sweat of his brow.
thankfully your mementos of this time in your life consist more of cognition than consequences.
great Ceasar's ghost! this vile conspiracy may have required satisfaction at 20 paces in a bygone time.
count your blessings at his confinement, as a more artfully devious man may have made better use of his time carefully plotting the downfall of each party involved.

I'm happy to inform you that you have an unrealistic standard of normative behavior...other than siphoning rent money from your father's wages and zapping the zip of one who has opened his home to you, there is precious little to be condemned about your actions.
not only have I blazed the noted weed in both showers of my parents' home, I lie to them for sport and it's very likely that to this day I could reproduce my mommy's signature as if I had used tracing paper with all the practice I had in my schooling years.
I'd say, all things considered, that you're a more decent person than most.
how unfortunate.

I was maybe exaggerating when I said 20, but it was a legit 14/15 people. And at least 10 pissed in that bottle man. It was the funniest most disgusting **** I ever seen. I was dying from laughter and gagging at the same timeDamn b, do you know how pungent 20 dudes piss probably tastes? :x
. That might've been where Lil homie went wrong in life, that moment led to him being on michigans most wanted and getting docu series about him. The one that was picked on ended up running **** 8 years later.
