What in the absolute algorithm-induced meltdown is going on with influencers lately?
My feed is basically a 24/7 soap opera written by someone who ran out of sleep, morals, and emotional regulation all at once. Every time I open the app it's another "part 1/7 of the truth" followed by 14 screenshots, a crying selfie, and a statement that somehow makes things worse.
They're not even just arguing anymore — it's full-on nuclear warfare. People are digging up ancient posts like archaeologists of beef, posting "receipts" that look like court evidence, and then deleting things like that stops the internet from remembering.
Spoiler: it doesn't. The internet is basically a drunk elephant with a perfect memory.
And now the kids are getting dragged into it too, which is where it stops being funny and starts being "why is this even online, who approved this timeline?"
At this point it's less "drama" and more a live-action cautionary tale about what happens when impulse control is removed and replaced with a ring light.
Because the internet NEVER forgets. You can delete a post faster than you can say "I shouldn't have posted that," but it's already been screenshotted, screen-recorded, reposted, subtweeted, stitched, reacted to, and narrated by 37 commentary accounts with subway surfer gameplay in the background.
Half of it feels like rage bait engineered in a lab by engagement scientists. The other half feels like genuinely serious accusations being thrown around like confetti at a disaster parade.
All of this… for what? A few hundred quid from Facebook and 12 hours of attention?
We are watching people set their entire reputations on fire for the price of a weekly shop.
And the funniest — or maybe saddest — part? Some of them will be back next week doing it all again, absolutely convinced that *this* time it'll be different.
It won't. But I'll probably watch anyway. 😬
