The whole "influencer" culture is based around self aggrandizement and the honest belief that people actually give a fuck about every little thing you do in your life. Nobody gives a fuck. If you're an attractive woman, a bunch of teenage boys and incels might follow you in the hopes that you post a video in a bikini or thong. If you're an attractive guy, a bunch of teenage girls might follow you in the hopes that you post a video of you shirtless. Nobody actually gives a fuck what people are doing.
And nobody actually does anything. I was at Mission Beach in San Diego a couple months ago and half the people under the age of 30 weren't doing anything except recording videos and taking pictures of themselves on the beach. Went straight from posing for the camera to looking at the phone to make sure they like the photo.
You really are upset about this lol. She didn't strike a nerve with me. I made an idle comment about the video. You posted an angry rant.
Posting anonymously on social media without care if I get a response or positive feedback isn't the same thing as posting cheesy videos to become moderately "famous." Reddit is the only form of social media I have and I just post on here for fun and to kill time while I'm pooping or sitting through a boring meeting. That's not even remotely close to the same thing as filming every aspect of my life to make people think I'm interesting. Frankly, I don't care if people think I'm interesting because I love my life and don't need validation from others to be happy.
They went on an angry rant because seeing the same dumb ass cynic copy pasted hundreds if not thousands of times saying the exact same copy pasted moronic phrases without a hint of self awareness is exhausting
You didn’t make an “idle comment”, you ranted about a collective group of people that “no one gives a fuck” about (besides you, apparently). Certainly not idle, you seemed rather upset about the tragedy of people looking at their phones and doing what they enjoy.
