Speed and Sketch

Post by RainbowsandUnicorns »

I asked about them in my 5 questions today.
No one responded that they knew who they were - and to me, that's a good thing.

My guess is no one really cares but if anyone does......

Speed is the dude KD is telling to back up.

I have no real clue about "influencers", and why they are popular, and how they become popular.
I learned about Speed months ago when a friend sent me a video of him with Ronaldo.

“influencers”

yet another nail in the coffin of our collective societal downfall
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

I agree but then I am a 57 year old who often plays the role of an 87 year old grumpy old man.

I would expect NO ONE other than maybe their family members and friends to care about them.
This is what I have the problem with. I couldn't care less about them until I started to think - I don't get it. Help me to understand.
So.... How did they become popular and why do so many people "follow" them?
If it's simply for entertainment purposes, there are so many other forms of entertainment. In regards to social media, there are so many more interesting people on this planet who share their stories on social media. What is it that these two clowns bring to the table that is so attractive to others?

because so many are idiots

hawk tua is a prime example. girl is getting paid tens of thousands for appearances…all for a single nsfw joke caught on camera

our society has serious priority issues

to say the least.

so many people with not enough to do, while complaining about having too much to do.

bitching because they have nothing, while doing nothing to accomplish anything.

trying to make their millions being YouTube stars doing stupid ass shit or playing video games and when it doesn't happen spending their time sitting in their parents basements posting angry memes about how unfair life is.

I'm sick of the viral video phenomenon.



*end old man rant but I stand by all of it.
