Getting paid to ... do nothing(?)
kosmasp15 May 2021
I do wonder - if everyone was following everyone and we liked each other posts ... I mean it would almost be impossible to see millions of post on a daily basis ... but what would that do to the machinery and to those who are being called "influencers"? A definition and word many of them seem to dislike themselves as this is showing.

The next question one might have concerning this documentary: does the end result and what it shows us excuse the way it is achieved? As someone else already noted, the way the filmmaker (and star of this) goes about asking people and how he treats many of them - at least the bits he is showing us, makes you wonder ... because it is super creepy and makes one feel very uncomfortable! Why would anyone give away the adress of Selena Gomez - especially Danny Trejo? It's also strange that he pixilates the first two people we see here, but almost no one else for the rest of the movie ... and there seem to be some secretly filmed sequences here to say the least.

If you watch this to find out how to get more followers .. well you won't get that. If you watch it to become more aware of ... whatever is happening online ... you might get a few things answered. As I already stated, many things that are being done here, go against almost everything I morally can accept - but it seems to be a way to get either certain things done or show character traits (by accident or not) that will probably make you sick ...

More creepy than informative

The guy making this appears to have no understanding of social media whatsoever. At first I thought he was playing ignorant to try and get more information from the people he was interviewing, but it became clear that he actually was ignorant- when he went around asking everyone in Hollywood to tell him where Selena Gomez lives. It came off as super creepy and stalker-like. That behavior continues throughout the documentary. He was lucky to get anyone to talk to him. Nothing seems to get accomplished here. This comes off as something put together by someone who had the money to fund a project that wasn't well thought out. Disappointing.

Shows social media absurdity

Nicely done, in a YouTuber kind of style. Majority of characters are vain and empty. Makes you want to delete all your social accounts and take a shower.

Too many inane content on Netflix. Including the german biker doc. The chinese surrogate story. And this one.

They need to appoint a quality control person. Pronto!

Adorable...

I fell in love with this documentary, with a dose of humor, and unsuccessful attempts to get its 100,000 followers, alternating interviews and adventures in Dubai and the USA in search of "fame, success and money" and mainly to understand how the world of the influential and of the influenceable... Excellent theme, lovely approach, charismatic producer, that even I decided to follow him... Adorable...
