First I thought that it would be an article making jokes about her "influence", fake followers and so on, but after reading I felt sympathy. She tries to create her own clothes brand, maybe she doesn't know anything about it, maybe she has failed this time, but it is a valuable experience. It is not like you are going to succeed from the first time, but it is better to do anything than nothing. Don't understand the negative comments. Maybe they are from people who have no followers?

> Maybe they are from people who have no followers? HN is populated by software developers, engineers, and other STEM folks constructing the technological infrastructure that runs the world. We have neither the time nor the desire for followers.

> She tries to create her own clothes brand She did so without doing any research into how hard it is and without any kind of business sense. I really can’t feel bad for someone like that. I would understand if research was done and it still failed, but this girl literally wanted to post a picture and expected everyone to hand her money on a platter. Sorry, the world doesn’t work like that. It is however a nice wake-up call for her and people alike - selling clothes (and making a viable profit on them) is not easy. Some of my friends are into this and it breaks my heart seeing them pour insane amounts of time & expenses into it without even realising that after all the expenses are accounted for their net profits are less than minimum wage.
