    I mean that should have been obvious when they turned a dystopian novel into the bluprint for reality TV. It’s called Big Brother for a reason. Movies like The Truman Show and EdTV showed the dark side of being under constant public surveillance and now influencers turn their lifes into reallity TV willingly.

      and now influencers …

      And we absolutely eat that shit up. We donate our money to them, buy their shit, and regurgitate every fucking thing they say as if they were goddamn prophets.
