I dont trust podcasters because they're using social media to monetize their fans. Which seems like exploitation.
Is the tale of Neekolul a cautionary one?
A TikTok influencer who made her name supporting Bernie Sanders and calling to tax the rich is facing ridicule for showing off a new multi-million dollar apartment.
Nicole Sanchez, or “Neekolul” on TikTok, is well known for an “OK Boomer” video in which she wears a t-shirt with the Democrat senator’s branding on it and dances.
She is also known for dancing in a sweater sold by Democratic Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and adorned with the words “Tax the rich”.
In a video of an apartment tour on Tuesday, Sanchez showed-off $2m (£1.4m) home, including an empty wine fridge and a Nespresso machine despite not drinking coffee.
“This is like Martha Stewart vibes,” Sanchez says in the video. “Like, I think only people that are like Martha Stewarts will find this very pleasing.”
Talking about podcasters and influencers makes their fans uncomfortable. But how can you pry people away from their favorite online grifters?
