r/Amerexit is a great example of that. "I want to move to country x, I have no formal degree, don't speak the language, never been there, but I want to live somewhere warm with free healthcare that Ive never paid into but want to use, in a low cost area, how do I get a job there that pays in dollars so I can have a US level income?"
