  That's to be expected. Now the question is will it keep falling or is it gonna start rising instead.

    I think people popular for anything could easily include microblogging, as long as they also keep doing the original thing. Lots of celebs, internet and otherwise, fare alright.

    Probably ai generated. The writing on the sewing machine looks like the weird alien language the ai uses to secretly communicate with other ai.
