I figured not, apologies for not making it clear.

KK is basically encouraging people to go out in the world and say "what can this place do for me today?" which is bad enough on its surface, but he's doing it while interacting with people (in this story at least) who have much, much less than him in so many ways. I'm not sure what you want to call it exactly, but it feels exploitative and antisocial to me at a minimum.

"Grifter" is exactly the word that came to my mind as I was reading the article, for whatever that's worth.
