Scrolling through LinkedIn is like scrolling through Instagram now

When it comes to attention-seeking behavior on social media , we all know at least one person who can't get enough of it. From the very infancy of Facebook to the current day TikTok and Instagram trends, some folks are just addicted to posting. They make friends online, gain a huge following of fans, or make content that goes viral. But Rome was not built in a day, and a social media account won't get a viral hit until it's posted dozens of posts that flopped first. These people have realized t…

Are you ever influenced by social media stars ? For most of us, scrolling through the socials is something we do casually as we chill out on the couch. But for social media influencers , drawing your eyes to their content is a full-time job that they take incredibly seriously. The behind-the-scenes lives of influencers is fascinating stuff. Much like peeking behind the scenes of a movie set to see greenscreens and stunt performers, looking behind the curtain at Instagram content creators is als…

Keeping up with slang is a slippery slope

There is a strange thing that happens to people when they get engaged. They seem to develop a strong case of main character syndrome almost as soon as a ring appears on their finger. This entitled bride tried to pressure an Instagram user with the same name to give up her handle, which the user refused to do because she heard she could get banned by doing that (a totally fair reason). What's particularly entertaining about this Karen is how quickly she went from being slightly audacious to biza…

We now have a family rule that my mom can’t blog about anyone else without permission

We could not be rolling our eyes any harder at these moments that will make you facepalm. The internet is forever, no matter what you do. Thanks to internet archives, even if you delete something, it's still likely to float around the internet every now and again. For example, I imagine the person who posted about a “leaf” found in their burrito bowl wishes they didn't Tweet about it. That's because even though they thought this was your average everyday outside leaf, it was not. It's a bay lea…

This person couldn't believe their eyes when their job position was suddenly taken over by a volunteer . Not just any volunteer — a nepotism hire, thanks to their boss. U/fjewioafjksldfhe created a throwaway account to tell r/pettyrevenge seekers about their crafty payback on their former boss. Social media is everywhere, and posting to various accounts in brand voice is a real and important job. Still, as with many types of undervalued jobs, like writers or artists or photographers, some bosse…

This person is going to have to do a lot of grovelling to get their wife to forgive them. When your spouse has a hobby , you should support them however you can. What better way to keep your marriage happy than to have both parties doing things they love and being encouraged by their significant other? It means a lot when your loved ones care about your hobbies — you want them to be enthusiastic that you're doing something fun. For this woman, cooking has become not just a hobby but almost a fu…

This seller is way too smart to be fooled by this influencer's tricks. Running a small business seems both incredibly rewarding, and also really difficult. They're often run by just one or two people who handle everything from listing the order online , to promoting the product on social media, to packing and shipping the product, to talking with customers who need assistance. On top of all of it, some people will still go out of their way to try and fool these sellers. This influencer did exac…

Dealing with people is the worst part of any job. Even those who have somehow escaped a 9 to 5 existence and have managed to make a living or side hustle — doing gig or contract work — still have to deal with this.

Sad to admit it, but we're getting older...

In case you hadn't heard, it's Valentine's Day, which means everyone has thoughts, hot takes, and memes to share.

This bakery owner learned a difficult and expensive lesson after working with an influencer who didn't hold up her end of the bargain. As the OP shared to r/ChoosingBeggars, she decided to collaborate with an influencer who was the wife of a local musician. She gave this influencer a box of cookies, and received a 6-second video clip highlighting the products. Sounds great, but would it actually draw any paying customers? As the OP continued on with the story, they shared that they did gain a f…

Oh, you did something awkward? Time to share it with your 8000 closest friends on social media! These people below are unashamed, thriving, living their most embarrassing lives right out in public. It's easy enough to shoot off a quick Snap story to your friends or followers. I feel bad for the guy who accidentally sliced off half his hair just in time for his very first day of class. That's not quite the right impression you want to give! I also feel for the woman who was shaving her legs and…

There is nothing worse than receiving an unwanted email at work.
