Sometimes I think about the influencers who tried to join CounterSocial and didn't like that they weren't treated like royalty and so they fled to other socials and talked so much shit about CounterSocial that they ultimately ended up proving the benefit of not treating influencers like royalty. #RandomThoughts
I try to treat famous people like regular people because if I were famous, I’d want a safe space to just be myself. 🤷🏻♂️ It sounds like that’s the number one concern.
@amarand Right?
If I had a shit ton of followers on another social, I'd join incognito here just to experience being a normal person on social media. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, life is totally different when you have a lot of followers. People offering you free things - big things - just to be seen adjacent to them. It’s wild. At some point, you’d start to wonder if you had any real friends at all. If everyone was after something. Super sad.
I do think one of the potential problems with having famous people here, is they probably come over here in “broadcast” mode, as that worked Over There, but it generally doesn’t work here. This is a true engagement platform. You have to work to get followers. Be human.
