-How To Loose +2 Million Followers In A Day-

     I was scrolling through my youtube page this morning, and I found this live stream of a subscriber counter for James Charles and Tati. Some drama happened between the two, as many are aware. Tati was one of James' first friends that he made 3 years ago, when he moved to LA and started his career as a makeup artists.

     James Charles is said to be a sexual predator, who would go after straight men and try to change their sexuality for his pleasure. He would also prey on younger teens. I think that this is disgusting to do, especially when you use your fame as something to hold over the other person's head. It is good that someone caught James lacking, or spoke up about it. People like James are manipulators and do not deserve fame no matter how talented they are, because they use their fame as an excuse the justify their behavior. To me, this is the perfect example of someone who lets fame get to their head.
     I think that is is scary to think that your whole job could be ended, once people get sick of you. Everyone turned their backs on James. His previous know "sister quad", composed of Emma, Ethan, and Grayson have all unfollowed him on all social media platforms. Some other people he has collaborated with such as Kylie Jenner and Jeffree Star have unfollowed him as well. I guess being friends with James now is not such a good thing for their images.
     This whole situation is messed up. There are children who watch James and imitate his behavior. He is supposed to be a good influence on these kids, but instead he uses his platform to brag about how he is a famous celebrity. 
     I think that this situation has brought awareness to many people because it tells us to be even more careful before you trust someone. It also tells people to be careful about the people that they support.
     Since all this happened, James has made an apology video where he stutters words. He subtly hints at the fact that he is still relevant by saying "I know that there are a lot of people watching me, a lot of people who look up to me...as a role model."Let's face it...your subscribers are dropping by the thousands each minute. He is still in denial and was just trying to relive the situation and defending his case.
Here are some funny comments that were left on the LIVE video:

    I have heard of the Tati and James Charles scandal and while I don't know exactly what happened between them I do know that James is a predator and he has made countless men uncomfortable. It's so bad that people have made compilations of him making straight men uncomfortable and it's awful. So many people did look up to him and it's so disappointing and upsetting to see how he used his fame to make what he did "funny" or "ok" but imagine being in that situation and how uncomfortable you would be. That's why as of now he has dropped to 13 million subscribers and it goes down by the second.

    This scandal is really disgusting especially that a lot of his following are younger kids around 10 or so, so as they are learning about this they might decide to follow his role. Although I do doubt many people will try to actually mimic what James Charles did by being a sexual predator it makes you really uncomfortable knowing someone who could be such a big influence to such a young audience could possibly be doing disturbing things in his 'private' life.

-Data Mining-

     We have all had a moment where we were talking about a product that we were interested in, and all of a sudden our social media platforms are plastered in advertisements for that specific product. I find is scary for them to know what I want if i did not directly look it up myself.      Companies know so much about each one of their consumers. They track the videos, websites, and the things we buy. They gather information from everywhere so that companies can put out a specific advertisements on your timeline. It's kind of crazy to me how these companies think that they know what kinds of things that I like. Then again, they are looking at every post that we make online, so they must know best.      Some companies sell their consumers information to other companies. Most of the time, the companies will mine their own data. We all agreed to those long terms and conditions that nobody ever reads that allows the companies to sell our information.      I think that data mining

     In the documentary The Persuaders, we discover marketing tactics to trap the consumer's minds into false realities. The advertisements are placed all around us, and sometimes we do not even notice their presence because they have seamlessly blended it in with our every day lives.      These ads have made their way onto the apps Instagram and Snapchat, which many teenagers use today. Companies choose their platform based off of their target audience. They try to make their company sound trusting and welcoming in order to suck people into supporting their brand. They work to create a community among the users of their products. Brands see themselves as a ready made identity. They then use words like "better" and "stronger" to make it seem like they are offering something that another brand does not have. They then manipulate you into buying their products by impulse, just because we want to be superior to  others.      One example of advertisers using wor
