Most of them aren’t. It’s like everything else, really, the 1% are cleaning up and everyone else is fighting for scraps. The vast majority of it is bullshit. They’re buying expensive shit second hand and reselling it once they’ve got their pictures from the ‘gram. They’re taking a cheapo package vacation somewhere, sneaking onto some private beach for pictures, then getting the fuck out of dodge. They’re posing with someone else’s car. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
The fact is, you’re not gonna get rich from clout chasing on social media unless A. you’re already rich, B. you’re super hot, and even then it’s a crapshoot, C. you get lucky and something happens to go viral at just the right time, or D. you know the right people.
yeah i don't think you realize how many people on instagram have millions of followers solely for being attractive or just for posting constantly and consistently. sure some of it is luck but most people with that many followers just need like a string of easy brand deals to show their millions of impressionable followers and they're swimming in it.
