This is how digital feudalism works.
It offers the illusion of empowerment. Likes become validation. Followers feel like influence. Monetisation looks like success.
But the rules are hidden. The platform decides what rises and what vanishes.

Squid games but NeurIPS acceptance
Coincidentally when I did research during undergrad, my advisor was also a baby faced fresh graduate. Students used to wander into the lab and ask him where the professor was.

On the way back, I was asked if I “go to Waterloo” by undergraduate student. I hesitantly replied yes and eventually had to explain I was a new prof. Student refused to believe me - said I looked like an undergrad 😂
