I thought that 'fidget spinner' guy was just a flash in the pan, but he's still making a living from it 5 years later

Yeah I figured it was just a meme too. But it shows there's a real market for simple stress relief. Dude found a niche and stuck with it.

The wild part is he probably still gets checks for that one desk spin clip.

Remember that video of him spinning one on his desk at work? That clip went everywhere. I wonder how much of his income is still from those original spinners versus new stuff. Like, did he move into other fidget toys, or is he just selling the same three-bearings design but with better marketing now?
