The worst, though, are the young guys. 23 year olds who build a massive following of 200k people, and then get upset with me that I can’t make them millions of dollars because most of their followers are either bots or other influencer-wannabes.

Everyone wants to be an Influencer but nobody wants to be a business person. They think the money will just appear.


This is interesting. Could you add more about how prevalent the bots and wannabes is in most IG influencers' counts? What do you advise them? And what kind of business steps do you want them to make? IDK much about this stuff but do follow some IG accounts and always wondered. Thanks in advance.

I don't use Instagram, so I don't really know what you're talking about. Sounds like I made the right decision, though. I do think it's weird that you're so worried about the behavior of others, however.


Instagram users are trash.


So are people who fling around that accusation.

Yes, but for every time this happens, there are people like me who do Bookstagram and have authors flinging free books at them. It's uncomfortable and awkward on my side, believe me.

Insta causes teen suicide.

There is something seriously, mentally wrong with you if you still use Instagram.

Sounds like this topic hit a nerve.

I can’t stand all the pouty seriousness of these pictures.
