[Blind Gossip] Let’s talk about engagement!
You are probably thinking that somebody is about to get down on one knee and propose with a big diamond ring.
Nope.
The engagement that we are talking about has to do with social media.
There is a celebrity who is advocating for a big social media company to get rid of its “like” button.
The celeb says that she thinks it would be healthier for people if their self-esteem didn’t depend on how many “likes” they get.
You might find it strange that one of the most popular celebrities on social media would want to get rid of such a feature. After all, don’t her big endorsement dollars depend on how popular she is? Gosh, she must be really noble and caring to be willing to sacrifice herself to help other people’s self esteem!
Ha!
It’s all self-serving. Getting rid of the “likes” actually helps her!
There are big discussions going on behind the scenes about fraud and who is buying followers.
If an account has all real followers, there is usually 5% engagement. That means that 5% of their followers will “like” any given post. Her numbers are usually around 1-2%.
[Social Media Company] knows that more than half of her “followers” are fake, but there’s a problem with correcting that. If they took away her “followers” it would be hugely embarrassing for her (and for Social Media Company).
That’s why she wants them to take away the “likes.”
That way advertisers are dependent on the fake followers number… her engagement numbers can’t be calculated… she can keep all her fake followers… pretend to be more popular than she is… and bring in more advertising dollars than she actually deserves.
No engagement numbers actually makes her richer!
So she is not looking out for you.
She is looking out for herself.
Sneaky!

Most annoying on social media? Too many to name. Kardashians, Jenners, Baldwins, Olivia culpo, etc. Then come the endless ‘influencers’…

This has GOT to be Kim Kardashian! Or possibly Kylie the “Billionaire” but my money’s on Kim.
Kim Kardashian, followed by MM. Too many people follow them without a good reason to do so. And neither person seems particularly nice.

Kim…Kylie…whatever. They’re pretty much interchangeable.

Kimmy K is all about removing Instagram likes. Her entire family probably bought millions of fake followers.

IMO Hilaria Baldwin is the most annoying one on social media at the moment.
amagod121 says
Ooh, how could I have forgotten to put Hilaria on the most annoying list?? I truly am sad that she lost her baby but she really seems to be enjoying the attention she is getting from it on social media! Too much so, IMHO.

Kim Kardashian so worried about everyone’s self esteem haha.
Most annoying: they’re all annoying but I’d have to go with Elizabeth “my perfect life” Chambers and Hilaria “nothing is private” Baldwin. Famous only because of their husbands.

ana_bejit says
Kim K. I understand why SHE is doing that but I don’t get why FB agreed. I, for one, think it’s a huge mistake to remove the button. I guess people will then try to comment more to make themselves heard so everyone will see that she doesn’t have too many comments either. So what is the point? Plus people use IG to engage with other people, not just to stare at pictures. I think it will hurt their business, so why are they doing it?
Princesspc says
This has got to be a Kardashian or a Jenner.
They’ll say or do anything for money.
KCeagle says
Big booty Kim Kardashian
She and her sisters are the biggest annoyances. All of ’em are “famous” because Kimmie made a sex tape. NO ONE in their clan has any actual talent.
FTR: Kylie is the hottest one 😉

And she’s not the only one. Selena Gomez gets about 5% engagement rate. Certain models and “billionaires” get 1%.

The Kardashian Jenner Klan are the most.annoying to me, with Chrissy Teagan coming in next. I don’t do social media, so I base my answer upon seeing countless articles on the folks on DM.

Gold1984 says
I’m thinking this is Selena Gomez ?
Honestly I hope Instagram doesn’t listen to Her & take away the like button.
Because although I don’t mind Selena. At the same time nobody should have that kind of power over a big company like that.
But also I have heard for a while that a lot of Her Followers are fake & you what I think they should expose that . Plus in the end I think they well be fine – it’s Selena who won’t be.
charlene2345 says
Kim Kardashian. She wants to get rid of “likes” on Instagram.
No surprise there. Nothing anyone in that family does is because they are noble or caring- it’s all about money and image for them.
Mindflayer says
It is Kim Kardashian. She is the one who thinks that removing the likes would be better for everyone’s mental health.
