oh god it's not just "some people" are influenced, it's "most people" are influenced?? ๐
it's no wonder that "influencer" is a job title, yikes!
also, this line made me laugh:
when they spell out the reasons like this, it's very funny because it's written like we're specimens in a zoo (imagine the david attenborough voice), and that we're all acting strangely. no, we're the ones acting rational, you're the strange ones!
that's a nice article. glad to see my reasoning validated. thank you for sharing โค๏ธ
I'm happy you enjoyed it. We have a lot to be proud of. You're welcome!
