My nephew and his girlfriend came to stay with me recently. They are very into social media and the GF has about 10,000 followers on FB/instagram etc.
Apparently it's all to do with how many "likes" you get from a post. The more likes the more "status" you have. These two people are totally convinced if they get enough followers they will be able to generate enough income to not work a "boring" job.
I remember when everyone just wanted to be an actor or a writer. Now they all want to be bloggers/vloggers and twitter feed gods. Hence they post stupid/ridiculous things to get more likes but when it goes wrong it's everyone else's fault. Their account was hacked or their drink was spiked. I am having a tough time at home. Its not my fault I posted topless pictures of myself in a nightclub toilet.
