The speaker talks to Tim Ferriss about how it feels when famous people follow you on social media, then realizes that when mega-influencers actually follow back, it makes him trust them less, not more. He sees the follow button and feels the weirdness of it all at once.
I remember talking to Tim Ferriss. He had high-profile people who would reach out to him who were like, you know, like the Matthew McConaughey's of the world. Someone who's like a big deal who you're like, oh my God, you listen to me? That's amazing. Have you crossed that threshold? Yes. There have been some mega, mega influencers who followed me and I'm like, well, now I think less of you because you follow my content. So I think red flag there. You know, I told Layla the biggest red flag I had with her was that she was into me. Um, and so, um, no, I'm kidding. But yeah, like huge, huge podcasters, like, see, I'm like, oh yeah, how is so-and-so celebrity? And I click and it says like follow back. And I'm like, oh shit.
