Was recently made aware of a funny trend on instagram. People (girls mostly?) talking with a mic in a setting, like a decorated couch, meant to look like they're a guest or host of a podcast, but it's actually just them filming alone
Discussion
People will do anything to get attention. Fatherless behavior.
That’s kinda funny. Pretend to be an influencer and talk about ultra sound eth.
Yeah, I don't use insta so wasn't aware. But then someone shows me a feed, and Lo and behold back to back chicks talking where it looks like they're being interviewed or doing a talk, but it's just them there lol. Mic prob not plugged in. Slaves to the algo
Is this a more or less accurate indicator of content quality than "selfie video while driving" is?
I get all my knowledge from selfie videos taken while driving. They are the best source of truths I'm not supposed to know.
It's the next gen maybe. Definitely high effort and kinda sad-desperate.
Wow, hadn't heard of any such cases. Not totally surprised, but damn that particular apt was a mess!
The bit about china making effort to push celebrities to be positive was interesting too. Though the example they give was more propaganda-sounding.
"Some "badly behaved" influencers have even received short jail terms. In October 2018, Yang Kaili, a live-streaming celebrity with tens of millions of followers, was detained for five days for "insulting" the country's national anthem"
Asmongold is another famous case. Dude admitted on stream that the sun heating up his apartment in the morning made the smell of dead rat get worse and that was his alarm clock.
I have a friend who's way more plugged into that world than I am and told me how asmon was famous for being disgusting despite being a multi-millionaire. I'd almost suspect he lives a second life of cleanly fancy living in secret!
In this case though, was he caught representing portraying something else? And only later embraced his gross image?
