Analysis of post "The real Scam of influencer"

Curated personas that, sometimes feel of another world.

As I attempt to model this blog after Seth Godin's blog, I try my best to do my own thing with my own subjects (my own fictional scenes and character notes, for instance." Yet I can't help going back to this post.
"Billions of hours spent by millions, mostly for free, to enrich a few social media platforms."
Firstly, I'm glad somebody older who has analysed to the dawn of the internet still does, he places the value of attention of how limited it all is, how we spend it on work and other places.

Yes indeed Seth, the politics, the micro-politics of high school alienation do run deep within ourselves. The nebulous status of a talent agent looking through the social media platforms, like that within hollywood, baiting. Coaxing, all to help maximize ad revenue to please shareholders. There has to be a limit for those who want to create meaningful work. They want all the attention economy, creeping for commercial attention.

Celebrity's may even have pr gatekeepers behind the door. With celebrity handlers, reviving them from the grave.

An algorithm that tempts us to do social media grooming trends. Trendy short term pursuit rather than important.

Yep, this is the system and hoops to jump through with a "Don't like it? Leave" policy in front of the door.

I rambled in one of the streams about these systems well, I can leave or tailgate this algorithm, not play its gatekeeping game which is masked. Maybe that's the fairest assessment.

The specialisation of pleasing an odd lottery ain't worth it.
