it’s weird when I realize that people online that I think are popular and have a lot of followers don’t think that they’re popular or maybe don’t realize it. kinda ironic lol
one example is when I first joined and thought @esben was really popular because he had like 69 followers and was really active
then again, it depends on what you think popular means
If this is "online", do you have examples of this that are not on wasteof?
yeah like on Darflen there’s @eagle who actually doesn’t have that many more followers than me and then on like TikTok or Insta there’s users. I just used an example from wasteof because I’m on wasteof. also I think it happens irl too because i’ve seen the same thing. i’ve had people who I think have a lot of friends tell me that they think I have a ton of friends compared to them.
Interesting. I've seen examples on YouTube of people not realising they’re popular, but maybe that’s just because people don’t mention that on YouTube generally
