People need to realise this is a self promoting strategy influencers use.
They film this fake cringy video, then the girl will upload this to her page and the male influencer will “find” the video and comment something like “I was just tryna be cool oh well bla bla bla” and his comment will be pinned and get thousands of likes and comments about “bro really found this vid of him”
Seems to work very well to grow these annoying peoples fan base

The late 90’s to the mid 2000’s was such a wild time to find random chat rooms. I still laugh at finding out what “warez” is and how no one gave a shit at all.

Was just on vacation in a beautiful fairly remote area of the world and took the family to this cool hard to get to restaurant that has nothing around it and we get there to find 4 female Asian "influencers" doing the weirdest trying to be sexy poses all over it for two hours...I finally told them to get the fuck out of the way of everyone else that was trying to enjoy themselves and jump in the water as the spot was intended for...

u/koko_belle 19h ago
For 2 hours? Like, I'm not even mad at the hustle, but surely you have enough photos or video and don't need to be publicly annoying for 2 hours!? Also, people no longer teach their kids manners, so there's that as well

u/Least-Firefighter392 19h ago
It was so bizarre and hard to explain... I yelled hey YouTubers get the fuck out of here so the kids can enjoy the water jump area and they got embarrassed and moved

I only catch a few of these on Reddit every once in a while. Not that hard to see that almost all of these are staged for engagement like everything else. The current one being the older guy dropping his face in front of the gym 'influencer.' It's a little funny at least, but that is not a real gym interaction. Even the obnoxious ones like can you believe all of these people staring at me when no one is acknowledging them, is so someone reposts it somewhere like here, so that some of those viewers check out the account. Some people are oblivious, but most just want attention and 'fame'

Its the same thing as when talk show host have celebrity "fans in the stand" that prank the guest while also promoting some new movie or book. In this case youre the guest. You dont have to be on social media to know how entertainment works

u/throwbackxx 10d ago
It’s the same with the alpha male podcasts where they invite young girls (yes, girls not women) and ask them stupid shit like „so, do you think females have rights“ and the girls beginn to stutter and the males are like „so, you just proved you rather be a stay at home fuck maid, right?“ and the girls are like „yes daddy, guess you won haha“. And while this is also ragebait, he promotes her only fans and people really fall for it. Because they will definitely look up the girl because she seems dumb and helpless and then there’s the of… and yeah.

u/evilbrent 2d ago
The thing about podcasts like that, there is the potential to affect your views about women even if you know the manipulation being attempted.
They don't need to move the dial all the way from 0 to 100. Moving the dial from 0 to 1 is sufficient, there'll be more videos.
1
u/throwbackxx 2d ago
Yeah it’s not like I watch this shit. I watched a few videos in the beginning and always wondered why the girls are so tame - and then I discovered their OF and yeah. Not engaging in that kind of rage bait. But some people might still not know. But, one shouldn’t listen to these podcasts. There’s nothing you gain from, you either end up thinking bad about women or men.

u/evilbrent 2d ago

ah..... that makes sense. I've wondered that too. Why on earth would a woman go on these platforms and talk so detrimentally about themselves.
They're after the audience.

Yup. I remember seeing it with a lady in target who said she was following this guy around bc he was just so attractive and she couldn’t resist the urge to meet him. I knew from the start it was fake but it blew up and they played into it even though they had videos together before her “stalking” him in target. I don’t trust most videos I see nowadays.

u/something-rhythmic 9d ago edited 9d ago
And now you're part of it. The 1.8K people who engaged with your comment watched this video and at least some of them are curious who this woman is.
Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black are household names now. All those people who spent so much of their energy laughing and hating are now old and irrelevant. I never understood why those kids got so much attention, positive or negative. All that loud self-righteousness amounted to nothing. There truly is no such thing as bad publicity. Love, hate all translate to attention in the end. And attention is power in this attention economy.
That's why those women go on those podcasts that degrade women. Because the people who watch those misogynistic podcasts are also, ironically, their primary audience. Closeted and shame ridden p*rn addicts.

I’m a guy and I don’t think it’s impressive. I can appreciate that it’s a talent/skill but it’s also completely pointless.
It’s like a toddler saying “check this out” and spinning while kicking their foot out a bit.

u/Extension-Jeweler347 9d ago
Stop degrading skill
2
u/Leonydas13 9d ago
I’m not. I’m just saying it’s a pointless skill. It’s just a thing you do and it’s done. It doesn’t achieve anything.
My mates brother used to do backflips and it was cool. But he never did it to show off, only when people asked him to do it.
What was more impressive was his self taught skill on a guitar and his incredible skills on the football field.
Someone doing a backflip in the middle of a club isn’t impressive. It’s just random and stupid, and completely out of context. The impressiveness of the action is eclipsed by the vibe of “why the fuck did that guy just do that, what a fkn weirdo”
1
u/AmNoSuperSand52 9d ago
Does something have to have a purpose to be impressive though?
1
u/Leonydas13 9d ago
Well yeah. I mean, it’s still impressive I guess. But for about five seconds. No one is going to remember it except in the context of “remember that fkn weirdo that just popped a backflip in the club?”
If I walked up to some random in a club, and said “ask me any mathematical equation and I’ll solve it super fast” what would the response be? They could ask me the most insane equation, and I could solve it flawlessly at a savant level. Their memory would be “wow that was fkn weird” and I guarantee they wouldn’t give a fuck afterwards or even remember the equation.
If he is an actual acrobat, and I was to watch him performing a set of backflips and stuff at an event or competition, then hell yeah I’d be super impressed. But he’s just a dude trying to impress a girl the way a little kid would 😂
1
u/AmNoSuperSand52 9d ago
Tbf when’s the last time you saw a dude whip out a random backflip in public?
Seems like you’re more intent on the context rather than the action itself
It should be as simple as almost nobody can do a backflip, therefore it’s impressive if someone can do it
1
u/Leonydas13 9d ago
Yeah you raise a valid point. I guess I’m focusing on the context and setting, which does basically eclipse the action itself. Backflips are pretty hard to master. I certainly have never been able to do one from standing (although I used to do them by running up a wall when I was young and my body didn’t hate me).
Like kudos to him I guess for just having a crack at something cool. I guess the girl he attracts with it will probably be on his level of keeping things simple.
