When I read this I suddenly thought, the same is felt by many businesses towards social media trends: they believe the need to jump on the TikTok bandwagon or start making more Instagram reels because they need to “remain competitive” – yet they haven’t spent a minute thinking about the product or their current shitty marketing (that you’re better off fixing than botching by adding a layer of social media banalities to it)

used to work with a client who followed many of these coaches. Her feed was FULL of fantasy marketing and after a while, whether you like it not, that gets to a person.
Not least because of the echo chamber effect of social media. Once you follow one of these grifters individuals, your Explore page is full of them.
