Many, many, many moons ago my mum worked as a telephonist in a company office-a sweet maker. When the rep came back from flogging their wares, he had pockets full of toffees. He gave hand fulls to the staff and they took them home; word spread of the new flavours, literally by word of mouth.
Fast forward to 2020/ 'Influencers' abound and receive the tat/gifts to spread the word. Their platforms are YouTube/Instagram etc. The big difference here is that the influencer is the centre of attention 1st-not so much the product. If they don't get people to LOVE them ADORE them-puke puke the companies that shower them with freebies wouldn't be interested.
SOME of the influencers are intelligent and can string sentences together. They do their research and are knowledgeable. They can be informative-might even have qualifications to back up what they say/produce/do. In my opinion, these people might last because they do have a POV or an area of interest that genuinely offers something to their followers. They mature and grow.
That brings us to Dimbobs. She was told by a medium that she would help people. The very surprising/unsettling thing is that some of her followers post that Niomi has helped them-break ups/wellness/yoga/veganism etc etc. In a way, this just highlights how seemingly lost a lot of people might be that they would look to someone as uneducated and shallow as Niomi for help/guidance. In some ways by losing Joeeey she's become an insufferable agony aunt, rising above her broken heart with all the facile Chinese cookie homilies. She's the tragedy queen in her own online production. In my opinion, she is milking this break up for all she's worth. Constantly referencing the rejection but not revealing anything concrete. Her needy followers are lapping this up so, even though she has very low quality content, she's pulling in the numbers and the freebies keep coming.
When, not if, she runs out of garbage to post and the audience has grown up, she will fade away and have a nice financial cushion. The only way she is SMART is that she knows how to manipulate the faceless acolytes. She gets that they are waiting to see some flesh, tacky make up, cute shots with Daisy May and Noodle, What I eat In a Day blah blah.
Most influencers are billboards who prostitute themselves for financial gain-Dimbobs sees nothing immoral about this. For her she is the centre of the universe and anyone who would prefer to work hard and contribute something worthwhile to society is an interesting specimen. When she went to the charity shop she was like a child down the rabbit hole.Wide eyed and playing at shops. She has a social conscience chip missing and this somehow reflects her upbringing.Me me me me meeeeeeeeeeeee is her clear mantra.
Most people on here seem to equate effort with reward. We don't condone 'no effort with constant/huge reward'.
That is why she disgusts us so much!
