      I don’t get how people can watch reality shows but apparently they do.

      Plus entertainment is a great control tool. Give people enough entertainment and they will never revolt.

        If the only way to a revolution is making lives more miserable, is the revolution even worthy? Something, something, accelerationism…

    Personally I despise everything about the idea of influencers. I have yet to see one who wasn’t an outright attention whore or just trying to get free shit.

      I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want to be paid for being the center of attention. There’s pathological levels to it for sure, but we’re communal, creative creatures. Maybe it depends on how we define influencer, idk. I was gonna comment that younger generations aren’t fully developed physiologically, so the appreciation for fully human influence could be chalked up to that

    My Gen Z son says these are Alphas and he doesn’t want to be associated with them.
