    remember Dory, girlposts, and the other “common white girl” accounts that were actually being run by skeevy dudes doing social media marketing by just plagiarizing other people's viral tweets? welp now we have “gradient accounts” https://twitter.com/...

    love this... i feel like it must be said though that the whole vibe of these accounts is just like a hyperdiluted descendant of the 2016 darcie wilder/melissa broder thing https://twitter.com/...

    If Twitter still had its default egg avatar I would call this “girls in the shell”. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    Best ways to go viral here: 1) say you are going to buy the platform and then shitpost relentlessly 2) pretend to be a girl who is hot + anxious and then tweet banalities—with a color gradient as your avatar. https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
