Here's an interesting topic:

It's one that has never made much sense to me, mainly because I don't Instagram. But the rise of people who have decided they are "influencers" is bizarre. Are people just that desperate for attention?

As an aside, John Oliver had a funny bit on this Sunday night.

Yes, they are that desperate for attention

They want to be important, somehow. Unfortunately, most of the time they don't possess the intelligence to be important, so they just try to act important. We've all known people who are like this, only now they have social media as an outlet to feed their narcissism. We've now normalized this idiocy, so it perpetuates itself. Sad state of affairs, and honestly I'm beginning to think we probably do need some sort of apocalypse to cleanse our species.

I've only had one experience with one of these "influencers"

My old corner bar in Baltimore was going through some tough financial times, so a friend of the owner had his sister try to stir up business by going through this process on Facebook. Truly bizarre. We'd be at the bar at happy hour, and she's all like "Man its a good time at EPH, you guys don't know what you're missing!!"

I look around, she ain't there. There's maybe 10 people in the place. So I guess that was the point, but it seemed stupid to me.

would probably go out of my way to never interact with them again in my life. That's worst than the professor teaching students how to teach engineering....Just get away from me before I cuss you out.

Depends how hot the social media influencer-ess is

These people are actually some of the loneliest people on the planet. They are universally unhappy if you polled them.

You can add "social media influences" to the list of credit cards, payday loans, pawn shops, casinos, spam email, internet advertising, telemarketers, etc.

I couldn’t care less.


Nov 13, 2018, 3:55 PM

I don’t have instagram or Twitter, or Snapchat. I have buddy book but don’t ever even look at it. All of that is a giant waste of time IMO.
