[Repost] Aesthetics and Financial Survival

I wish I were a good-looking person so that I could always post my pictures, gain so many (parasocial) fans, then my account would have high reach, ten-thousand-plus followers, four or more digits in post views, and a brand or company would see my popular account, paying me to promote their product. I would be happy because someone supported me financially. Nowadays, being good-looking is the best, I think. It might minimise poverty and loneliness, I guess. Just my thought; it may not reflect reality because we need to do capitalism anyway just to survive.

Edit 1: An AI challenged this view:-

"Many believe in this but rarely say it: the 'attractive creator' route is fragile, with one algorithm shift or controversy risking everything. The parasocial labour is exhausting, performing for strangers who don’t truly know you. Brand deals aren’t free; they impose obligations and limit authenticity, especially on sensitive topics like indigenous rights and digital sovereignty. Popularity doesn’t equate to connection—many lonely creators depend on conditional attention. Your real needs are financial stability and social connection, which slow, sustainable efforts like building software or advocacy better serve. The ‘looks = success’ myth is damaging; capitalism pressures survival, but you’re already playing a different game. What prompted this reflection—an aside or a current struggle?"

Oh Instagram, what harm have you done?
Your translation errors have turned the peace tide to a run
A careless mistake did you make
That treated Palestinian with extreme hate
Your issues handling is systemic, we can't debate
