I've seen something which I think is even more interesting.
Second tier influencers (100k followers) paying expensive hotels and private plane trips of first tier influences (1 mil followers), so that they can appear on their feeds, and gain new followers.
- swampthinker 8y agoI'm sorry, completely off topic. I can't believe your username was available up until 2016, kinda jealous.
- fredley 8y agoThis is straight up Black Mirror (season 3, episode 1: Nosedive) Obviously the whole point of that episode was to imagine Instagram in its darkest future, but it's scary how much of it is becoming real, and separately with the roll-out of social credit scores in China. Scary stuff. --- Hansen: So in terms of quality, you could use a punch up right there. Ideally, that's up votes from quality people. Lacie: Quality people? Hansen: High fours. Impress those up-scale folks, you'll gain velocity on your arc and there's your boost.
- staticautomatic 8y agoI don't know whether to up or down vote this. I respect it as art and it makes me ill.
- andybak 8y agoYour concerns are themselves ironic. I'm so confused.
- staticautomatic 8y agoI don't understand what you're saying but would like to. What did you identify as my concerns and in what way are they ironic?

- sopooneo 8y agoI think the joke is that you're choosing to upvote a post, and by proxy the person who wrote it, in relation to the horrifying "upvote" centered plot of the television episode quoted. It's upvotes all the way down.
- shkkmo 8y agoPresumably the irony arises from your confusion as to if you should add or remove social reputation from a comment discussing an episode primarily about the near future of adding and removing social reputation.
- jhobag 8y ago>Hansen: High fours. Impress those up-scale folks, you'll gain velocity on your arc and there's your boost. somewhat similar appealing to google search the way to gaming instagram is by having famous people/big accounts/verified accounts comment and interact with ur account so you 1. appear in the activity for their followers 2. appear on the explore page for the potential new followers and more engagement, repeat ad nauseam "organic growth"
- tlrobinson 8y agoAnna Delvrey tops them all, at least in ambition: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/04/my-misadventure-with-the-magician-of-manhattan https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/04/my-misadventure-with... TL;DR socialite of unknown authenticity (but definitely real confidence woman) scams a bank, luxury hotels and restaurants, private air charter company, and the author of that article out of several hundred thousand dollars. Did not get the $20M she was hoping for, though.
- netsharc 8y agoThe article that broke the Anna Delvey story was more thrilling: https://www.thecut.com/2018/05/how-anna-delvey-tricked-new-york.html https://www.thecut.com/2018/05/how-anna-delvey-tricked-new-y... . She managed to exploit people's need for vanity... There's talk of a movie deal, so, her brazenness might be rewarded after all.
- minhaz23 8y agoVanity fair initially broke the store, the author was scammed by Anna Delvey.
