Makes sense given how a single tweet out of place can turn an influencer into a toxic liability.

Glad to see that the bullshit jobs are replaced first!

Not a single one even looks real. Video game characters at best.

Do "real" influencers look real?

They don't need to look real to be popular.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=N0_Gc1HsJVc

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Yeah, she tricked me at first and then after a video I realized how fluid the movements were and that the speech was too realistic. I thought how it worked was that someone played the game and then people programmed a Vocaloid voice to say all those things and animated her body.
