What are some good movie or documentaries about the current state of social media?

how would you know who's an 'influencer' ?

It's starting to be more common. I know a local hotel that started doing initial deposits for rooms since some "influencers"/bloggers would try to reduce the price by doing free posts in favor of the hotel. These are literal whos and not even TV celebs.

Pay double for your ice cream

this. i dont even know what this means

When they call themselves "influencers". Don't worry, they'll start off with that anyway.

influencing consumers to buy products

holy based

So this is what Vincent Gallo has been doing all these years.

Peoples Republic of Desire

new breed of Yelp reviewers

Yes. It's much easier in some 3rd worth shit hole to pull off. Some 8/10 hot girl born in bum fuck village in brazil can become an ethot and travel around south america posting lewd images and partnership posts while taking whatever "private collabs" she can on her free time.

>influencer
>influenza

Coincidence?

Yes.

I work on 3 different hotel and it's always shit like this :
"Hello i'm a random nobody with 500 to 20000 people on my instagram and if you give me shit for free i will make a post about you"
We just ignore them, but we have like 2-3 mail every week

Genuinely curious, is there a certain amount of fame that would make you consider giving them free stuff or a discount? Do followers mean absolutely nothing, or if they had a couple million would that mean something?

For doing fucking what, acting like a loud mouthed faggot on the internet? Why aren't we all influencers?

Ingrid Goes West.

What's up with that woman's shirt? It looks like shoddy craftsmanship to be falling apart at the shoulder like that.

Influencer is the professional title of a shill

Easier to show cleavage or side boob.

No, it means they have a large following on social media and have a wide reach. Hence they INFLUENCE the buying habits of their followers.

They try to influence at least. Hell, I'm pretty sure the push for "wanderlust" created the begpacker problem.

Social media influencers just sounds like code for freelance lobbyists.

They're more like a sign spinner or something like that.

Big hotels doesn't give a shit about influencers and they would never give them a discount for a post, not matter how many followers they may have.
small hotels? maybe, depends of the owner. Someone naive could fall for the influencer trick.

>tfw set up an instagram account a few months after it became a thing
>paid $700 to some pajeets for 150,000 fake followers
>started posting pictures of myself using products
>used $20 to pay the pajeets for likes and comments on every post
>gradually the natural follower count began to rise
>reached 200,000 after about 2 weeks
>then 300,000 after about a month
>could stop paying pajeets for likes and comments since they came naturally
>companies contacting me offering to ship me their product for free if i made a post
>some companies offered free products + a commission based on the amount of likes

Made a good deal of money since I just resold everything on ebay. But when the market became fucking oversaturated by insta-thots the companies gradually lost interest in me and stopped asking me to advertise their products.

Also, might as well add for anyone thinking of doing the same; make a few posts in which you advertise products from big name companies for free. If other companies sees you advertising Razer, Nike, Dolce&Gabbana or whatever-the-fuck, the smaller ones will think that they actually paid you for the post, and in their mind that makes you more valuable.

This is also what insta-thots do now to lure retarded companies into sending them products.

what the fuck is an influencer?

Did i miss something, what is an influencer?

Pro shill

Is an ice cream truck a reasonably profitable business? Does he pay all his bills with this?

Sounds like a sweet life.

>Here's a picture of my ass
>And here's a picture of electronic gadget #398 which I got for free from a company to post a picture of it to make thirsty incels purchase it because they now associate this electronic gadget with my ass

That's an influencer.

it's some kind of neurological impairment

>be fagstagram """influencer"""
>demand free shit from small business owner for "free advertising" on fagstagram
>business owner politely tells """influencers""" to go fuck themselves
Pretty based imo desu senpai.

>Haha I know you're like some lowly ice cream man, but I'M like a real big deal on the internet, like really famous for doing nothing, so why don't you just give me free food and maybe I'll take a photo of it and if the photo looks cute ill put it on my Instagram and you'll get so much more business because again my opinion matters and I'm totally more important than you and will make more money in two days from posting random shit on the internet than you'll make this month
I can see why he'd get pissed. Fuck social media "stars" and fuck the advertisers for enabling them.

As a local business, advertising to a bunch of foreign internet retards who follow some other internet retard wouldn't do anything for my business. If I were in charge of a national or a global company, I'd probably already be disgustingly wealthy, so giving some internet retard a free product sample for free advertising to their retard followers is a non-issue to me, of course I'd do it.

I wouldnt buy ice cream from someone unless they are a great big fatso.

it's the creepiest as fuck name. usually they try to go for some euphemism with their evil marketing bullshit, but now it's just "yeah we're straight up mind controlling you to buy shit."

He probably watches their YouTube movies with ad block. I think he owes them free icecream for all the delightful snapchat movies he's watched for free.

Even though the ice cream is expensive as hell, I don't think it's enough to support yourself.

>muh influencers
A couple million bot accounts or indians arent gonna buy your product or service

they just use it as a front to sell drugs or molest kids

Fair. This might work for a movie that plays in theatres globally though.

i just noticed the ricky steamboat headband this guy rules

The Fyre festival documentary on Netflix. Sure its about a scam festival by a con artist posing as a entrepreneur but the underlying of it shows how Instagram influencers and that fake lifestyle has a terrible affect on people's self worth and world view.

Damn, even non-artists gotta deal with "lmao I'll pay you in exposure" shitheads?

Influencing the gradual collapse of western society.

It amazes me that people would try this, especially when if you take 5 seconds to think about it (beyond the stupidity of doing free labor for a stranger), you realize that if they're not even willing to pay you $1 for your effort, why would you think they'll go out of their way to promote your work?

It's the retarded millenial thinking where teenage bloggers think that they're obligated for free shit just because they're "doing good work" by doing some shitty vlogging and that's why they don't see any problems with it.

what good would advertising do for a fucking ice cream truck. thats why he drives around.

Is it still possible to get into this, IG seems way too saturated but maybe compared to where it will be in 5-8 years it's a puddle.

You're competing in a game where people who are born superior to you have far better results. It's a rigged game. What fucking retard would continue to play a rigged game?

The average poster has to delude themselves to cope with this reality. I GET IT. There's no other reason for such denial. This poster then projects that denial onto other people, relying on ridiculous strawmen to argue with.

Your wife will see men more attractive and successful than you every day on television. Who do you think she fantasizes about?
There are men out there who could fuck your girlfriend if they only had contact woth her because they are so naturally superior to you.
There are guys who have women approach them and pursue relationships and sex instead being a little fucking rodent that has to plan out how to meet girls, what to say to them, what to wear to impress them... pathetic.
These guys don't have to worry about their little gym activities or their career or their personality. They have grown up natrually socialized forming a desirable and outgoing personality, with opinions that are generic and attractive, they're taller, with a larger frame than yours, with a bigger dick, who smell better, who may have been born into money and they are far more physically attractive than you.

You're just a worthless cockroach picking up the scraps, the undesirable women who will settle for you despite being drawn so strongly to these superior men.

And your response to this will only be a coping mechanism. You convince yourself that none of this matters because if you keep working hard then you can get a girl who finds you to be her ideal and her to be your ideal... right?

she looks like a nasty coalburner

I would have charged her even higher. nasty ass bitch. no fucking shame at all.

you could but you wont be buying followers for that price anymore

What is this new form of autism?

Eighth Grade

Right but women get lonely and like actually having a 6/10 dude in the bag that they can humble brag about to their friends. I know because I am one. The sex is good, I fantasize about hotter people sometimes so she can too, and it’s mostly cuddling and watching tv or cooking together. Gigachad is welcome to steal my life from me if he wants, but much like a school of fish scattering from a dolphin, they can’t get all of us, and the odds are in my favor

Good riddance

Anyone who calls themselves an influencer is wishing for a fish morphing epilogue.

It's extremely hard now, especially if you're a male. It's too fucking saturated with insta-thots willing to flash their ass.

Last time I checked, a few months ago, pajeets were still selling at $0.01 per follower if you bought 1000 followers, meaning $10. Price goes even lower if you order more.

Nah it's still do-able.
I made an insta account december last year in a specific niche and through botting and organic growth made my account one of the largest for that niche. I get contacted all the time for shout outs or ads. The key is to make an account that isn't some generic dude or girl in the bigger interests. Find your niche and grow your account.

>influencer
Do they mean youtuber?

Why would you want to larp as a complete faggot?

all these influencers will be in the first wave of executions.
