    This.
    The TV stations around me are desperate to attract the young viewers, so they always have influencers as guests on their shows and what not, and I simply do not get it.

    Today’s guest: Billy Bobberson.
    What’s he famous for? Oh he posts some selfies on Instagram daily and every other post is a sponsored brand promo.
    Why the fuck do people even follow influencers like this???

        I’m in this camp too and have made a recent comment (dev angle) but I genuinely believe most people are stupid lately

        I’d go further with it (about celebrity culture and influencers) but I think we’ve heard it all

        my genuine shock is just how much people seem to care so much that it affects their daily lives
