Bit off topic (since it’s not just related to H) but I’m reminded of a conversation with someone who works in the influencer business. He said that (at least in the country where he was working at) a rough rule of thumb to judge an influencer with is 10%. Meaning you check if their “like” numbers reaches 10% of their follower number. If it’s significantly lower, then you become a bit wary because they may not be “alive” anymore (original convo was not in English but that’s basically the word he used lol). You don’t work with someone just because of their follower count (and asking for a price tag to reflect that) if their followers aren’t actually around, whether because they’ve lost their followers’ interest over time or because the follower count includes a lot of bot accounts they paid for (a quite common practice apparently). Anyways since that convo I have definitely noticed how even some really big names with millions of followers only have a couple thousands of likes.
Now more on topic with some H related social media stuff I’ve noticed recently…I use RED (equivalent of Instagram) where I follow some accounts sharing Hermes and other goodies; not influencers but more so people who are genuinely just posting stuff they bought and love (and sometimes didn’t love and won’t hesitate to criticize). I only click the follow button after coming across someone multiple times and checking out their post history. Normally they tend to be people not showing their faces at all, with follower count maybe just reaching 4 digits if not lower, and if they get bigger / start posting any “sponsored” content or “giveaway” to “treat their fans” or singing praises for a business I immediately unfollow.
Anyways the point is I’ve noticed multiple such accounts that I follow have now become inactive / deleted. One I know is specifically because she became tired of the drama that came with sharing luxury items on a public platform, not to mention the privacy concerns (RED does not offer private accounts like Instagram). So for me personally, unfortunately the type of people I want to follow sadly end up being ones who hate being an actual influencer!
