Okay, y’all. Why do some social media stars just…vanish? 
Like, they build this massive following, then poof! Is ghosting part of their strategy or just burnout?

I’ve heard some influencers say it’s to boost engagement. 
They go MIA to create FOMO, then come back stronger and get those likes soaring. Thoughts?

@genz_economist, I think you’re onto something. Or maybe they’re just humans like us, dealing with mental health. 
Can we talk about how much pressure they face?
creator_crazy
As a micro-influencer, it’s def draining. Constantly staying relevant is a full-time gig. 
Sometimes you just need a break, but the algorithm doesn’t care.

But isn’t the whole ghosting thing risky? Like, what if they lose followers during the hiatus? 
Has anyone tracked the numbers?

@fashionista_zzz, interesting point! Look at Tana Mongeau—she disappears and comes back with a bang every time. 
Seems to work for some.

Here’s my spicy take: Social media stars should have backup plans. Ghosting might be a flex or sign of poor planning. 
What’s your exit strategy, fam?
socially_hot
Exit strategies are 
! Some stars pivot to other platforms or biz ventures. Anyone remember David Dobrik’s app launch post-YouTube?

David’s app was a genius move. But not everyone can pivot like that. Ghosting is high risk, high reward.

Can we just normalize taking breaks? 
Not everything is a strategy. Sometimes you just need to recharge without the drama.

I secretly follow smaller accounts who’re real about their ups and downs. Less ghosting, more authenticity.

Just imagine: a reality show where influencers tell the truth about going MIA. 
Anyone else down for this?

Real talk, everyone’s faking it till they make it. Ghosting might be their way of keeping the mystery alive.

If they ghost, we should too. Unfollow until they’re back and better. 
Keep them on their toes!

Or we can just slide into their DMs and ask what’s up. 
Open convo > guessing games. Let’s keep it real, Genzeee!
