I ignore it until I want to hang out there, as engaging in some lf my favourite pasttimes requires a certain level of popularity for them to be available.
My usual tactic if I know I'll be hanging out there with friends is to leave my guy dancing in the club for a bit while I am off doing things round the garden. When I return the popularity will max at 50% from the dancing alone. From there I will simply change DJs several times until I reach the desired popularity. In the end, the boost in daily pay more than covers the cost of rebooking the DJs. By the time the popularity meter dwindles I usually end up with ~$20k in profit(after dj and misc expenses) so it isn't a money maker but allows me to hang out in a populated club without spending time or money.

Managed to complete a round of sightseer on my Whippet Race Bike. 
The first package was a quite long 4 miles away so I thought it wasn't gonna happen. Thankfully the Whippet has an optimistically high top speed (has anyone clocked it? Surely it does 30mph or so) and my wordless character hasOlympian indelible endurance. The second and third packages were 1.5mi and 2mi from each other, respectively. I finished with about 2 minutes to spare.
It's a shame there aren't more clothing items that are bicycle oriented. I guess that's not in the cards when there are flying motorcycles, mach v racers, orbital cannons, stealth helicopters, and batmobiles....good lord what has GTA become. GTA VI better come down to earth, at least to start with, after this nonsense.

You know what, I haven't ridden my bicycles since last gen I think. I might have a little ride tonight.

BMX bikes at the skateparks and halfpipes were always fun. Haven't done that one in a while.

It's a big shame that rockstar has undermined a lot of the more nuanced/subtle attributes of their own game by trying to create ever more ludicrous gameplay elements.
I really miss GTA San Andreas depth of role playing. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a dynamic character model in GTA Online? Go to the Gym and get ripped or eat a lot of Clukin' Bell and get super fat. I really don't care about more supercars....honestly 3 or 4 total is plenty. They all drive basically the same anyways.

The sad thing is it's true. When you think about it, the Zirconium Journey Custom really is the obvious next step, especially when paired with the brand new Stromberg MKII - it now swims AND flies, for all your totally-not-a-"new-and-creative-way-of-murdering-anything-that-moves" recreational needs!!1!
Also Yacht MKII aka Mobile Operations Boat, which is basically the same as the original except it's smaller, less visually impressive, has mountable railgun cannons and a garage to store all your weaponised Seasharks, Marquis and Tug.
seriously though a weaponised Tug would be kind of interesting

They should add the ability to buy computer games for the computers in game. Imagine playing a GTA satire version of GTA within GTA! Of course you'd have to rob some banks to afford the virtual shark cards (or buy actual shark cards to buy the virtual ones with), and there could be missions to source components for a better PC, etc...
For 10,000,000 GTA dollars you can hire a crew of hackers to grant you access to cheats in the virtual GTA for a limited time.

..as novel as the idea of playing old R* titles directly from your GTA Online is (PS Home? Is that you?), I don't see that happening ever.
Let's play with the idea of GTA Online surviving until the next generation of consoles, which, all things considered, is more likely than not. Now, say that you can play the 20th Anniversary edition of San Andreas in your Journey Custom. Then what incentive will you have to buy it separately for the console? And what if we throw the 20th Anniversary editions of GTA III and Vice City into the mix as well?
And that's before we get into the fun and engaging topic of how R* would need to emulate them and how it's far easier to just make a Packer Custom, a trailer and a Scramjet MKV and price that at a billion GTA$ - a piece.

Man the weaponised vehicles have really taken a LOT of fun out of GTA.
GTA was at its best when the only weaponised vehicles were the Rhino, Hydra and Annihilator/Hunter.

So here's a fun fact I've discovered.
Apparently in the Nightclub mission where you have to get the Stafford off of the car trailer, they really expected you to do it on the move, as opposed to, say, using your personal MOC to stop the truck with the car trailer in its track
And I can tell that they didn't think you'd do that, on the basis that the three cars that get detached from the trailer end up noclipping through the trailer itself, which also leads you to having to move your MOC away from the truck to make sure you can even get into the Stafford.

Lots of fun today.
Logged into a session with my friend looking for something exciting
We found our guy: Rank 891, KDR of 70.91, location: Vespucci Beach.
We left Maze Tower on our broomsticks and headed for Hangar A17, where I got my Starling and he got hisRouge Rogue. Him and his buddy got bombed twice each. Said buddy managed to land an RPG on me and caused me to lose control and... slam the Starling into his ugly face for another kill :>
One obliteration and a laughing fit later, mr. Tryhard was fighting some organization downtown, so I parked my Terrorbyte nearby, flew the drone over to him and blew him up while he danced with his marksman rifle. Felt good.
Also some other stuff, like a really heated business battle where we somehow ended up getting one crate each, and me getting a double kill with the drone detonation

A few tips I've learnt reading up on the subject of nightclubs and nightclub warehouse procurement...
If you want to pay 10k to rebook a different DJ to increase popularity do it from the computer in your nightclub storage garage to avoid the DJ swap over cut scene and the subsequent slow walk back through the club
If, like me, you have your warehouse techs set up to procure goods to sell and grow impatient, it's handy to go AFK while you're off living real life and let your stock build up.
However if you go AFK watching the TV or security cameras in a session you will still get charged daily property and staff fees but if you start a rockstar mission ***NOT*** as a CEO or MC and watch TV in your office or other properties you don't get charged daily fees and let's face it daily fees suck.

..I realise I'm beating a horse that's been dead for the past five years or so (has it really been that long since GTA V launched?), so consider this your chance to re-ignore this comment before.. "things" happen.. and yes, since you have now been warned, I cannot be held responsible for any emotinal distress you may feel if you're reading the rest, but oh boy, do I look forward to hearing from those of you who feel that I am somehow responsible..
..but you gotta love them clickbaiters. It's the lack of imagination that gets me every single time. Oh yeah, and props to the YouTube algorithms for bringing this to my attention, courtesy of them somehow ending up in my recommended box.
First up, the concept of a "September Update". Wait, I thought this was GTA, not GT Spo- Let's take a moment to remind ourselves of the R* update cycle as of pretty much forever. It goes something along the lines of there being about 3 months between updates. After Hours was only released in late July. Do the maths. And now consider the amount of stuff still left un-dripfed. Do you expect them to drop the ten(?) old-cars-with-new-stuff all at once? I could maybe see them doing two at a time because, you know, not so much work after all - but even then, we're talking the middle of October - if not later. Just because they're giving two a week, that doesn't mean they'll give two *every* week. It's happened before.
Secondly, the vehicles, because obviously. Does their creativity extend to such greats as Progen Sienna? Seriously? Of all things possible, that's the one you came up with? Not the Progen Prost, which is both quite GTA in itself and ripe for a "prost-itution" joke, because those are apparently funny? Also supercars that look tackier than a '98 Honda Civic is a good thing, amirite Paga- I mean Zentornoobs, Noobsirises and Noobro Customs of Los Santos? Vigilante Mark Tw- no, actually, that's not a sin on the clickbaiters for once, that one's at least partly on R* too, because we basically know that'll be a thing sooner rather than later, because "new and creative ways of killing people" and so on and so forth.
TL;DR we've entered the Silly Season for GTA Updates, and it's as bad as it's always been, if not worse. Be careful out there.
Also,
Yes.
There's the obvious R*-content-vs-player-content aspect to it, but.. I've beaten three dead horses already, and it's not as if the point is particularly hard to miss.

How dare you sir, the Civic EK9 is a fine automobile
I actually thought they would dump the new liveries all at once. Didn't really give it a second thought since the main parts of the update (clubs/terrorbyte/opp.2) were the things that grabbed most of the attention. Not saying a decent chunk of the community aren't somewhat excited by the liveries of course.
