I didnt get those vibes either. Wasnt it the yacht guy himself talking about his dependence on instagram? Anyways, props to instagram guy for getting his $$$ when he can. Dude is right, only a matter of time before instagram sucks and there is some new hotness.

This whole social media influencer thing is kind of funny. Of course I think it is trash and that likely some large percentage of followers are bots. However, it does have some degree of power in certain circles. Just yesterday on sports radio these talk show hosts (been working for 20+ years in journalism) are quoting people on facebook/twitter etc because they have 70k followers. The host literally said, I dont know who this guy is but he has 70k followers and knows Manny Machado's dad.

I got the feeling from: >lonely life >he’s kinda lost at sea >next to a lanky guy >I began to wonder, “How could anyone spend their whole life doing this?”

and details, like him having a tiny cabin (you're on a boat).

And of course the fact that he published what seems to me a candid conversation in such a light.
