Have you seen the HBO show "Fake Famous"?

It took several wannabe influencers and helped them succeed. They paid for followers, they used the toilet seat against a TV screen for an aeroplane window view 😂
The life they were forced to live was so toxic, only one carried on with it:

My thought is if everybody becomes an influencer, who's left to be influenced and just how much skin care product to they have to buy to pay the salaries of everybody influencing them? 😂
In terms of people caring about centralised platforms, censoring etc... Most people don't care until it affects them directly.
When I started discussing my life with close F&F, I expected them to deny the possibility of WW3 and thus consider me stupid for planning options.
They didn't, they fully shared the opinion that WW3 is a strong possibility, the just assumed it wouldn't affect them or that there is nothing they can do about it.
Most people want somebody else to take responsibility for them, which is why corrupt regimes work. We are the few that understand this. We are not all the same.
