Guillotine Jones, Flâneur<p>Heard About the De-Influencing Movement Yet?<br>"The de-influencing movement is a social media trend where influencers are discouraging their followers from buying unnecessary products. Instead of telling their followers to buy this or buy that, de-influencers are urging people to think twice about whether they truly need those $118 Lululemon leggings. The movement essentially turns influencer marketing on its head by promoting authenticity and mindful spending over hyper-consumerism." --Jamela Adam<br>I say it's about damn time.<br><a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/02/17/gen-z-is-de-influencing-on-social-media/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2025/02/17/gen-z-is-</span><span class="invisible">de-influencing-on-social-media/</span></a><br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Influencers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Influencers</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DeInfluencers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeInfluencers</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Consumerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Consumerism</span></a></p>

Megaphone :verified:“Modern Freedom: A Manufactured Illusion?”<br> <br> This cartoon critiques the commercialization of freedom, portraying it as something that has been redefined and monetized. Instead of true autonomy, people are conditioned to equate freedom with endless consumption, the ability to click, buy, and indulge without consequence. The speaker reveals how much effort and money has been spent to normalize this mindset, where individuals believe they must work, earn, and spend to be “free.” Is this true freedom, or just another form of control?
