The return of the defluencer

Opinion celebs are all over the internet preaching about the new normal. This knowledge race, much like the snowball effect, feeds on the snowflake matter. Where is the finish line? Nobody knows for sure - snowball is rolling, most likely all the way down. You can't really blame a content-starved, FOMO sensitive influencers for serving that COVID realness. Apocalypse or not - they have been living on crumbs. And that is so tough. Now - let's cut to the chase - as the  OG of 'no-content/no-followers' paradigm I proclaim: I shall become a digital star.  Let me tell you a story of how my defluencer mission has almost been stopped by the Instagram.

You know how I take pride in having my 300 followers. Small, exclusive, almost boutique like group of kindred spirits, family and progressive friends of my mum. Lord have mercy - how I celebrate when one of those 'face in the frame' pictures hits more than 50 likes.  Did I suffer from harsh critiques telling me: my child has bigger number of followers and no posts at all? As God is my witness - this consciously neglected and exclusively unpopular account will one day pay my bills - so I pay them haters no mind. 

Imagine the shock and my unimaginable distress when Instagram has blocked my consciously neglected and exclusively unpopular account for ....  buying likes. Oh dear - not only it is not true - it is against my beliefs! I wanted to fix this immediately, explain, try to reason with them  - I want no followers, I want no likes! Problem is - there is nobody out there, no person, no human being, not even a customer service chat-bot that one could speak with. Anyway, it's not even the point of this story. In the end I pressed some feedback buttons and Instagram stopped harassing my proudly unpopular account. The real turning point here being  - I could have been gone from the world of the digital. 

Let me celebrate this glorious return, let me join the fellow Instagram heroes, let me make my mark.  Let me help saving the world. My OG plan was to #cause-sell a #pandemic cabernet from my #garden grapevine but my boyfriend took pruning way to serious and so ... I have no grapes. Instead - you're left with a bunch of pictures portraying my lockdown universe. In my house. In A'dame. Ciao!
