Limelight

Limelight is valuable, the reason why social media exists and influencers.

Edward Barney’s book title Propaganda talks about how they sold cigarettes to women worldwide calling it empowerment. Or how the fiction of the banana republic was hatched to help American multinationals.

With so many internet mediums around our eyes, it is difficult to get attention and limelight. And attention being the currency of our time, it is more evident to get some even if it is positive or negative.

You will see the same influencers sharing their expert opinion for eyeballs on everything from COVID, politics, sports, or war.

So be careful and take a pinch of salt reading their opinions since most are shit posters with limited knowledge on the subject.
