It is absolutely wild how the internet can just collectively decide to change someone’s life on a whim. New Zealand soccer player Tim Payne was just minding his business with about 4,000 followers until an influencer labeled him the 'least known' player and told everyone to follow him. Fast forward a few days and he’s sitting at over 750,000 followers! It’s the ultimate social experiment. While it’s cool to see a 'regular' pro athlete get this kind of spotlight, it really makes you think about how much power influencers actually hold. Is this genuine support or just people wanting to be part of a digital flash mob? Either way, Payne went from being an obscure name to having a bigger platform than most A-list celebrities overnight. Peak internet behavior right here. #culture #tech #sports https://thoxt.com/l/FsA7X8 🔗
