Current Events > Can someone explain the kid culture of Sub4Sub! Subscribe follow me pls!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Please I'm underrated 'insert here' follow me on ig, twitter and subscribe to me on YT pls I'm doing a giveaway for the first 50 subs. Please subscribers its my dream to make it 50 subs, 100 subs, 1000 subs. If you sub I will sub back to you. Help a kid out, my grandma died and my dog is sick, my mom has cancer and I have no money and I want to help out my family and get games to play too. today is my Birthday and I understand if you don't want to....

All sorts of variations of that are posts you find from kids in the 8-15 year old age range on Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.

Like what exactly is the purpose or endgame? Its sad when you scroll in the comments and see 50 posts all the same like that. So you spam that and get your 100 subs then what? You have 0 content, no setup to create content. Is it just to flex on your school friends at the playground to be like 'wow you have 108 followers Billy!'

It just makes me sad tho because the amount of effort they put in to spam to 'fake' grow on social media they could put to actually improve and grow by creating new and original content which would teach them a lot.

Yea this is nothing new at all. People crave attention. even before social media kids would look for ways to get noticed and "liked"...its just easier and more in your face now but its not a new concept at all.
