Recently a particular influencer posted about lying in an interview to secure a 350$ job per day, the funny thing is that the video went very viral and his employers saw the video and decided to sack him and his colleague that made this same video.
This guy has been living in the UK for a long while now, he basically has a stable income, a good paying job, and a healthy family.
It's that type of life that anyone will give anything to have, but he decided to start creating contents about his life but graduated to making a more unique type of content.
The content he does makes fun of real life events in a way that attracts engagement, he basically talks about his bosses, his duties, his promotion and all that.
He was actually the manager in his place of work, so I'm not sure he would be working somewhere else, so it seems like this was the particular job he lost, but even though it wasn't. 350$ a day gig is one hell of a job to actually lose.
So back in the day I used to watch his videos, I found it very humorous, but at some point I unfollowed him I think because they started adding a tint of sexual hue to their content.
Also this guy's video goes viral because he was know to always post videos or images of private chats and conversations, and I'm sure that people actually wanted more of these contents.
He was always posting close-relationship moments with clients and relatives and stuffs like that and that was how he got to grow his page. I think people wanted more of those contents and he usually go extreme and probably went too extreme this time and it caught up with him.
He probably just wanted to make another video like he always does, but people would probably want to know what type of job paid him that money.
If he was earning 10$ a day, maybe no one would have cared if he lied or not. These are fbr types of content that create reactions, reactions create curiosity which them brings virality.
The dream of every content creator is to go viral. This actually attracts audience, which brings more attractions and automation bump in social media earnings.
Perhaps he never minded if he lost, maybe or maybe not, maybe he wanted to go full-time content creating, but that is in a country like UK where going viral for the wrong reasons can actually get you blacklisted.
It might just be difficult to get a job in another place, or he might no longer attract the quality type of job he always had, and all that years he's spent building his reputation, brand and CV all tainted by just one unintentional video he's posted on the internet.
The internet virality & sensation
He may have lost his recommendation and all that, and we'd only find out how much this might impact him going forward. He's however come out to debunk the new that he was sacked, he claimed be wasn't and that he is still doing the job.
This might be some form of damage control, but truth is I saw the video and he actually confessed to lying to get the job.
It's crazy because people cannot understand that some information aren't supposed to make the internet, this is something he wouldn't have necessarily said or lied to get which makes it quite hard from people from his demographs who are struggling to actually secure jobs.
The internet is truly full of money making opportunities, and some people are not drawing the line on the information they intend to give off.
