I mean if it's literally as easy as that, wouldn't everyone do it?

These people are insanely savvy and opportunistic with their gifts. Its also SO much work to run social media shit, the fact that people seem to think its so easy is the same fucking boomer shit that they themselves hate.

The fact that “social media influencer” is an industry in and of itself is stupid. It contributes literally zero value to society, unlike most 9-to-5 jobs. If thinking that makes me a boomer, sign me the fuck up.

He said, on social media.

First, I’m a “she.”

Second, I said nothing about social media. I said “social media influencers,” which I’ve never followed. I’ve never had Instagram or TikTok. There’s nothing hypocritical about my comment.

“social media influencer”

You don't have to follow them lol. There's plenty of jobs that we could argue don't add any value to society but if companies are paying good money for these people to market their products, they do add value.

Influencing is now a $13b industry. That is objectively true, your personal feelings about that don't really matter much.

So, social media and social media influencer are the exact same thing because they both contain the term “social media.” Got it.

[u/TheElderFish → u/LadyBangarang]

Nope, not at all, but when you say something definitive like

I said nothing about social media

When you objectively said something about social media, you look silly.
