Akri & her obsession with this Sub 😜

At this point, it’s honestly impossible to believe Ahaana Krishna & family don’t read this sub 😭

A post here literally said nobody cares enough about the Pookaal music video to make reels for it, and suddenly there’s an Insta story counting “1.3K reels on her pookal blink trend,” daily updates, AirPods giveaway announcements and full-on campaign mode activated 💀

Akri, if you’re reading this — it’s okay, promote the Pookaal music video all you want. But please… don’t revive the Luca anniversary cinematic universe again after this 😭

No “Luca 7 years,” “Luca decade celebration,” "10 years of actorhood💩“Luca forever,” posts please. We are tired. The nation has healed. Let it rest peacefully ✋

നന്മയുടെ നിറകുടം Pearley Chyaaachi 🙊

Am I the only one who thinks these ‘gold surprise’ videos are just brilliant marketing disguised as generosity?

These two Pearly Mani videos genuinely made me wonder how easily people confuse influencer marketing with charity.

I watched these two videos where Pearly Mani surprises people with gold/diamonds, and honestly, I’m shocked that almost nobody in the comments seems to recognize that this is clearly a paid promotion.

If this was truly a private act done purely out of love, why would it be turned into Instagram reels and YouTube content in the first place? The jewellery brand gets massive visibility, Pearly gets sponsorship benefits, YouTube revenue, engagement, and at the same time builds an incredibly positive public image for herself. It’s smart marketing and branding.

What surprised me more is how the entire comment section is filled with people praising her as if she personally spent lakhs from her own pocket out of pure generosity. I’m not saying promotions are wrong. Influencer marketing is part of today’s world. But I feel people should at least be able to differentiate between genuine private generosity and highly publicized sponsored content.

Personally, I feel that when something is done purely out of kindness or charity, there usually isn’t a need to film it, edit it emotionally, upload it publicly, and monetize it. The moment cameras, branding, and content creation come into the picture, it also becomes self promotion and advertising.

That’s what makes these videos interesting to me. Not the gifting itself, but how effectively influencers know how to shape public perception and build a “golden-hearted” image through content.

Hakri Purple whos next?

I know there are already a lot of posts on HAKRI and this whole issue, but my blood was literally boiling today out of helplessness 💀

I was just calculating… she has more than 3000 subscribers paying ₹399. That’s like ₹11–12 lakhs PER MONTH 😭 Just by doing nothing… just by putting out one viral video.

And then there are people who literally try so hard after 12th. People putting blood, sweat, everything into clearing entrances and getting a professional degree, working day and night… and after all that they’re earning like ₹25k–₹30k per month like peanuts 🫠

Meanwhile these people get everything for free from collabs itself 😭 Free products, free stays, free gifts, brands paying lakhs for one damn post.

And most of them already come from privilege too.

The world genuinely feels so unreal sometimes.

I know this Instagram era may not last forever. They might have to switch careers later and all. But by then they would’ve already earned SO much money.

Like this girl just turned 20 and probably already has a net worth of ₹3–4 crores 💀 That’s literally more than what some government employees make in their entire lifetime.

I’m not even saying this out of jealousy at this point. I’m just shocked at how unfair everything feels sometimes.

Like what even is the point of studying this hard anymore 😭

No wonder more & more people are becoming ready to follow their footsteps 😌
