    Does no one ask themselves what kind of future they are creating when they make these kinds of tools? Personally I don’t even listen to ads or influencers as it is, but when everyone has these tools, who is going to be listening to all these fake testimonials? It just seems like another thing that will be used for more harm than good, an erosion of trust.

      Thats why I created UGC Followers. Are you tired of not getting enough real engagement with your fake ass testimonials? Now you can generate fake engagement characters to interact with your fake testimonials. Think of all the fake trending your fake testimonials and fake followers can generate!1!

        The hustle/grift culture in this country is just too damn strong, and now with a criminal president, these folks are even more emboldened with their bad ideas. I really have no idea what advertising in the future is going to be like but they gotta figure something out because right now it just feels like they’re throwing shit at a wall.

          It’s probably just going to get more invasive, pervasive and pernicious. As the advertising loses effectiveness due to over-exposure they’re just going to push harder and harder. Eventually the advertising industry will collapse into a ghost of its former self when a critical mass of people effectively become serfs, with no money except for the scrip they spend at the company store.
