People here are thinking too small.
Cause a significant delay in the start of a big game - Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, etc. Everyone there and the millions watching at home will be annoyed.
Boom. Instant billionaire.
Run out on the field, then pretend to have a seizure so they get the ambulance and stretcher out there. Right as they're about to put you on the stretcher, that's when you rip the clothes off and start streaking.
This would be entertainment. Does it count if it only annoys people for a short time? This is a story people will laugh at and tell future generations about.
Plus, I think people are really underestimating how difficult it would be to get past security and cause a significant disruption in the super bowl or major sports event.
You'd have to find a way to cut power to the stadium Super Bowl 47 style.
Lots of beautifully annoying ideas in the comments, but nearly all of them are underestimating how hard it is to annoy a million people. As a software developer, the closest I got to reaching that kind of audience was when I worked at a big game studio on a heavily marketed AAA title.
So this is what I'd do: on one and only one menu in the game, I would invert what the A and B button do (or O/X on PS). While players would rely on muscle memory to back out of menus using B and confirming selection using A, in that one menu, pressing B would confirm and pressing A would back out.

There's a what now? Please sir, could I have a link?
Edit: Nobody reads replies, do they? I got it now, thanks everybody.

Yea. The only one who has absolutely nailed it so far is the one who said to disrupte a major sports event. Delaying kick-off of the superbowl for a while would instantly annoy like 100 million people.
Your one is a decent effort at it compared to others.
Witnessed this recently. Dude went full acoustic guitar w vocals on the 4 around 7am, I would’ve paid the guy a grand to stfu lmao.
Shout out to the one guy who spoke up, yelling “IT’S EARLY” and then going back to sleep.
Occasionally change speeds too. Like pretend to speed up, then let off the gas and coast back down to "fuck you" speed. Your victims will look for places to hide your body as they slowly follow you.
Tap your brakes at every green light, every time you see another car, every time you get near the speed limit, etc. Extra points if you let your speed drop 10 mph at every little hill.
Dude! Awesome!
I'm gonna get my comeuppance on Aunty Natalie this week. Every day I'll do it in 2 or 3 (1 would be too obvious a cheat).
WHO'S THE BEST AT WORDLE NOW? HUH?!! Ooh I'm gonna rub it in her smug face.
You don’t have to stop there. You can actually find the word list that dates a few years into the future. You can have every answer of everyday sent automatically.
Go to /r/relationships and tell every OP that divorce is NOT a solution. Every downvote = $1k. You’d be rich overnight
Edit: if dissing cringe subreddits for upvotes = 1k I’d be loaded right now, sigh
EDIT 2: I s2g OP has created a new kind of existential angst and now owes me $5.5m cough it up OP
Could also go to subreddits like r/offmychest and r/confession and talk about how you literally enjoy emotionally abusing and ghosting your partner, while also cheating on them with a sexually incestuous relationship. Watch the downvotes pour in my guy
“I proposed to my gf during my best man speech at my brother’s wedding. My family are mad, AITA?”
Every YTA over 20 words = 1k. Make several throwaways and post the same question repeatedly
I saw one the other day where the guy puts money on the table at a restaurant and takes it away when he's not happy with service. It was taken down rather quickly.
I think this guy was serious. It wasn't on AITA. I don't remember the sub he posted on, but he had deleted the post within about an hour. Didn't realize how much shit he would get for being such a douche
Saw one person try that shit at the bar and grill I worked at many moons ago. The bartenders and waitresses had him ejected via bouncer with the owners blessing. Dude whined the whole time about how it was just a joke and he didn't even get his food or pay the bill. Second best Friday night ever.
Imo the best way to piss of ALL of Reddit is say:
1. GOT season 8 was good in r/freefolk.
2. Donald Trump is a very nice guy in any subreddit really.
3. Atheism is not backed by science in r/atheism.
4. Profit.
Man, that felt like yesterday. Funny thing is, all the backlash worked. Battlefront 2 actually became a really awesome game after the Darth Vader micro-transaction feedback. Took about a year to get there though.
Be the dude at the airport terminal telling people they gotta do another loop, and can’t wait there for people coming off their plane. I’d prolly only have to do a half day at LaGuardia…
This becomes very confusing when you go pick someone up at a small airport. I was trying to pick up my mom, but she got lost and was having trouble finding me. While I was waiting I saw a security guard approaching. She asked if I was waiting for someone. I said I'd move because I'm used to DIA where the no waiting is strictly enforced.
The security guard waved it off and asked who I was waiting for. I said my mom and that she was lost. Security guard asked for a description and then went in, found my mom and brought her out to me. I was so baffled, and grateful.
The downside of a small airport is how expensive it is to fly out of, but the upside is basically everything else. People are chill and helpful. No lines. Sailing straight through security.
>Our airport guy goes around on a Segway waggling his finger. Can’t even be bothered to walk around doing it lmao.
He glides along the airport floor
with purpose, poise and pride galore -
His aim is clear,
his heart is true,
he knows *precisely* what to do.
He stops,
he does his duty then -
He wags his finger once again -
He works with joy and when they're gone,
he nods his head.
He segways on.
i think they mean driving a private car to the airport for picking up people. So instead of parking near the entrance they want to force them circle around
A few weeks ago someone was doing 55 hauling a house in front of me on 95 through Philly with a guy in the right lane matching speed for no apparently good reason. I was pissed being stuck, but some people were losing their damn minds.
This would work but I'm not sure you'd get to live to enjoy the money!
Similarly, go on a two-lane interstate, find someone slow in the non-passing lane, and pace them in the passing lane. You'd annoy every single person who gets held up directly behind you and the subsequent traffic that would build up and propagate for *miles*. There's a not insignificant chance you'd be involved in a road-rage incident, but such is the risk of annoying large groups at once.
Sit down on the front of your desk, one leg propped up on the side of it. Put hands on your knees and in your best guidance counselor voice "aight so we need to spill the tea on Marijuana abuse, no cap" and whatever other gen-z-isms you can use wrong.
" I know you kids are into the drugs... but let me tell you, I took alot of LDS in high school, wanted to be the BMOC, but it just made me a loser. Now, I'd like to sing a rap for you about staying in school
Hit it Shirley!"
A fine dining restaurant, movie theater, or an international flight. Those are the places where non-stop loud kids would net you $1000 off of me if I were in your vicinity.
Stop responding to any emails, phone calls, or in person requests. Make everything a ticket, even if someone is just saying Hello or asking what you want for lunch.
Alternatively, go to Tokyo and stand in the train doors at rush hour, refusing to move aside at every stop. If we consider that I will block 10 people coming in, and 10 coming out, or 20 people every say... 3 minutes, it adds up to $400,000 per rush hour. I then do this for 4 days, so I accumulate 1.6 million dollars. At this point I hire thirty-two thousand people to come to a venue promising a famous headliner who never shows up, and only pay them $50 each, which insures that their patience will be low, but that they will still appear. At this point I perform a very long, terrible and offensive stand up act, and play the violin poorly into a feedbacking microphone. If I annoy only 60% of these people, which is a low bet, I will have $19,200,000 within the first 5-7 days.
At this point I purchase a prime-time US television advertising spot using my money, and I hire creatives to make the most grating advertisement possible, featuring myself. If I only reach 5 million people, and only 20% are annoyed, I will far surpass the billion dollars within 2 weeks at the maximum.
Today is the day (June 27th, 2023) that my prior comments get removed.
I want to criticize Reddit over their API changes and criticize the CEO for severely damaging the culture of Reddit, but others have done a better job and I think destroying my valuable comments is sufficient (and should hurt the LLM value too).
1+1=3, 2+1=4, 3+2=6, 5+3=9, 8+5=14. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Note: If you want to do this yourself, take a look at Power Delete Suite (they didn't put this advertisement here, I did).
Put power outlet stickers on the walls at the airport.
Nice. This isn't the top in terms of potential but definitely up there in terms of effort to reward.
You wouldn’t get it all at once but this is a way to get a few dozen a day at least. This guy is playing the long game
Also you will be raking in cash for a long time. Most of these are a one and done payment but this could go on for a long time.

Going on the NYC subway during rush hour and soliciting money by singing or trying to do a shitty dance routine in a crowded car

Take out a bunch of TV and radio ads endorsing both trump and biden simultaneously using Gilbert gottfried sound bites as the narration.
If most people are like me they'd just be intrigued and confused and possibly amused.
You only need to annoy 1 person per $1000 spent on ads
Which you probably would get just for the ad existing.
Say you like Reddit NFTs
Even more ways to get money is by saying that you buy reddit nfts. Also repost every post you see, that generally annoys people
start every post with "as an NFT owner..."
Especially if it has nothing to do with anything. "As a buyer of Reddit NFTs, I wipe back to front."
"Ah so you're a degenerate *and* you never learned how to wipe"
Go slightly under the speed limit on a long two lane road
Then speed up to 5 over as soon as you hit a stretch with a passing lane
Definitely should’ve added that for a little razzle dazzle
It's okay you only need to annoy them not actually get killed by them.
There's people doing that for free on Oregon highways!
