I really was interested in watching this documentary when I read about this story of making unknown people transform into popular celebrities, but in the end this movie is superficial and rather tedious to watch. Why?
This documentary does not deliver on it's promise. They arent able to make unknown ordinary people famous.
More bad: this "documentary" is quite tedious to watch, because it's simply nothing more than a copycat of the many superficial youtube influencers out there.
Better watch any random youtube influencer channel and you will have more fun.
At an end note: let's face it, these influencer channels are nothing more than people selling their names and images to product placements. Rather sad...
Plot summary
Explores the meaning of fame and influence in the digital age through an innovative social experiment. Following three Los Angeles-based people with relatively small followings, the film explores the attempts made to turn them into famous influencers by purchasing fake followers and bots to “engage” with their social media accounts.

This story sounded funny and got my interest, but in the end this "documentary" is as superficial and boring as it's subject: the "influencers".
Something is seriously wrong
There is something seriously wrong with our society lately...and this documentary highlights part of the reason why.
I like to think of the world as before the internet, and after the internet. Before the internet, society was much much better....people were "normal" ..friendly...neighborly....people did things outside with friends and family...met people in person...went out on dates....Now? People have their phones on for hours upon hours a day with no human interaction....people live in a make believe world....and most people are screwed up and on anti depressants or anxiety drugs., or a combo of both..
I feel sorry for the generation growing up today, and for all generations coming after....Growing up in the 80s and 90s was so great...I'm glad I got to experience normal life before the internet....because life today, is anything but normal for most people....So do yourself a favor, GET OFF YOUR RIGHT PHONE NOW AND EXPERIENCE REAL LIFE WITH REAL PEOPLE....There is SO much more to life than your phone...
Real take on the fake
Was much better than I anticipated. Yes, it's obvious that most of the 'famous' celebs are famous for just being famous, they're publicity hounds, they prostitute themselves, they're just sad, etc. But, who knew you could buy fake accounts, fake 'likes,' have bots that raise your profile? If you did, more power to you, but this was eye-opening to me.
