Why do people sometimes follow toxic influencers on social media?

[Anonymous]

Despite being toxic/mean to others and think they're cool/entertaining? It appears being rude is normalized and glorified in social media as having a "sassy" personality.

• Well, what makes a person “nice” is completely subjective. For example: one person’s “nice” might be another person’s clingy and annoying.
• How nice a person is may not be an important factor to someone else. For example: They may prefer someone edgy, sarcastic, hip, or any other specific qualities that could appeal to another person. Unfortunately, not everyone values niceness as an important quality.

Also, each person has their own temperament, past experiences, sensitivities, moods, etc. Often, if someone has a great personality, but can’t seem to make friends, they may be in the wrong social groups. There are some groups that no matter what you do, you will never be “one of them” and it would be much more fruitful to instead work on finding the tribe that “gets” you, and feels like a more natural match for who you are.

People may follow toxic influencers on social media for a variety of reasons.

Some may be drawn to the influencer's flashy or controversial content, while others may be drawn to their perceived authority or expertise on a particular topic.

Additionally, some people may be looking for validation, validation or validation of their beliefs, opinions or lifestyle choices and may find that in the toxic influencer.

Additionally, some people may be looking for a sense of belonging or community in a group of people who share similar interests or ideologies.

Finally, some people may be simply looking for entertainment or distraction, and may find the influencer's content to be engaging or amusing.

I usually unfollow those who are really genuinely rude people

But sometimes when people are mean on the internet it can be funny lol. Especially if you can tell they’re just doing it for shits and giggles.

There are even some influencers who are problematic but I still follow them because I like their content.
Like jeffree star for example. Dudes not a nice person but his videos are entertaining so whatever lol
