Is your self worth dictated by how many followers you have on your social media accounts?
No all I care about is getting thirsty DMs š
Negative. People are able to buy followers.. Also this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing
Totally so! Only that I don't know how many actually are following me ... ah, 121 .. well, that looks totally promising, now going for my first million! Yay! Nah, I don't really care.š
Social media networks, at least the big ones, serve content chosen by some sort of algorithm - which is tuned to maximize interactions, usage time and thus profit. Those who generate engaging content will have more followers, and I believe that this content does not reflect how much one is worth. In that sense, attaching my self worth to a follower count would basically let my emotions be controlled by a monetary value.
I'm happy to say that my self worth is measured by the size of my moustache.
