Jason LefkowitzThe influencer montage in this video makes me want to fill my pockets with rocks and walk into the sea
(skip to around 15 minutes in if you want to jump right to it)

J.P. Wing@jalefkowit After watching two minutes of the suggested time frame of that video, I'm shoulder to shoulder with you with a few extra bricks in a backpack
Emily Velasco@jalefkowit I'm very curious what they're intending to explain in this video, but I can't bring myself to watch a 36-minute video about the state of the movie industry.
Unfortunately no one in the comments is talking about anything except the influencer montage
Ben Ramsey@MLE_online @jalefkowit I think if you watch the first couple of minutes, you’ll get the point, and then you don’t need to watch the rest.
@ramsey @jalefkowit i did, but i don't get the point.
@MLE_online @jalefkowit I was mainly joking, but I do love that intro. 😂
Nathan Dyer@jalefkowit christ, point me to the nearest quarry.
Will Deakin@jalefkowit there is "The Outlaws", a black comedy from the BBC about doing community service in Bristol, where one of the characters, Lady Gabriella "Gabby" Penrose-Howe, is an influencer (with issues).
I had thought her character was a Stephen Merchant darkest satire until I saw it.
(If you haven't seen it, Christopher Walken is excellent albeit with a haircut that is almost a crime in itself.)
[Edit: why I couldn't spell BBC I don't know]
jwz@jalefkowit Wow those guys are tedious as fuck, but... of the dozen movies they mocked in the intro sequence, I've seen like half of them. Dust Bunny was great!
@jwz @jalefkowit I haven’t heard of any of them.
@jalefkowit These guys need to win a Webby—or whatever awards they give to folks online these days—for that montage. It perfectly captured our modern day influencer dystopia.
