Wondering if inventing Internet was a mistake?

Ben Hampton Has 670,000 Followers on Instagram. He’s Only 6 Years Old.

Ben Hampton is buddies with YouTube king Jake Paul, and has literal hordes of screaming fans. It’d be a crazy life for anyone. But Ben is only in the first grade.


>In the past nine months, a first-grader named Ben Hampton has exploded onto the social media influencer scene.

>Since launching his Instagram account with a photo of himself at kindergarten graduation in February, Ben has amassed nearly 700,000 followers on the platform, gone viral on YouTube, collaborated with top-tier internet stars, and gained entry into Team 10, the internet’s most notorious and exclusive vlog squad.

>Ben has become so popular that it’s hard for him to walk around his neighborhood without getting recognized by tween fans gushing over his coordinated outfits or asking him for selfies.

>When Ben stepped out of his car seat at a recent pop-up shop in Los Angeles he was met by a crowd of fans screaming his name.

>As a 6-year-old who only recently learned to read and write and who does not yet have a signature, Ben scribbled his initials onto the iPhone cases, sweatshirts, and shoes of his admirers. He calls these fans his “young savages” and prides himself on high-fiving and thanking everyone.

>Of course, unlike his fellow influencers, Ben Hampton himself has never posted to Instagram or YouTube. His account is fully run by his father, social media veteran Branden Hampton.

When a 6 yr old kid has gotten laid before you.

>These days, it’s not unusual for parents to start social media accounts in the names of their children, but very few gain a dedicated following outside family members and close friends.

>Hampton, however, through his job as a social media consultant, has built a career on making things go viral, and Ben’s account characterized by daily photos of Ben’s well-planned outfits, quickly gained a niche following.

>“When Ben was born, my wife decided to go all out on clothes,” Hampton said. “She loves playing dress up and she just decided, ‘I’m not just going to throw OshKosh B'gosh overalls and SpongeBob T-shirts on this kid. I’m going to dress him all out.’”

>But well-dressed kids on Instagram are a dime a dozen. It was Hampton’s contacts with established social media stars that ultimately provided Ben’s springboard to fame.

>This summer, as Hampton and his wife meticulously uploaded photos of Ben with captions designed to go viral on Instagram, Ben was becoming enamored with the world of YouTube.

Big mistake

>His account is fully run by his father, social media veteran Branden Hampton.
Peak (((Capitalism)))

guarantee you by 20 this kid'l be on the end of a crack pipe after having a dozen pedos up his ass

absolutely disgusting

>tfw 23 with only 64 followers

Curse you normie scum REEEEEEEE

That's some Chad training right there

So my kid is 6 and has a funny personality. I've done everything I can to keep his pictures and name away from the internet. I even get pissed when my wife posts pictures on faceberg.
What kind of fucked up parent wants to exploit their child like this?

Who is this fucking kid and who the fuck is this faggot Jake Paul?

This is like that black mirror episode where the qt giggle bitch loses her mind cause she can't get the up-votes.

Dad's pimping out his 6 year old kid for his 15 minutes of fame.

This is child abuse.
How can we get women mad about it?

The internet gives us freedom but also weaponizes normies. They can pool their resources into 6 year olds like in this case, retardation with reach.

I welcome it, it's us vs NPC's. We just have to know the enemy

Blame the French Revolution and Luther/Calvin.

You can see it in the art and architecture; once these two viruses get out into the world everything visibly turns to shit. Whatever good was left was finished off by WWI

the next generation of "My special child is a Hollywood ticket"

>normies consume this trite nonsense
Nuke it all, Kim

The internet is a tool of globalism.
It could have been something great. But it isn't. The whole of mankind's knowledge and most women use it to post selfies, while most men are watching 95 pound girls getting pile driven in the ass.
We weren't ready for it.
Ted was right.

this

SAGE

So how many followers you think I'd get if I beat the shit out of this kike faggot? How many pedos will launch a gofundme page for my head?

>he was met by a crowd of fans screaming his name.

Why? Why are people so excited to see him? He's just a fucking kid. He doesn't even do anything.

the only people interested in this shit are idiots and the people making money from said idiots.

Talk about raising a complete moron.

>ITT: envious poorfags will rationalize hating on a 6 year old simply because he's already more successful than the entirety of this website combined
stay mad

>who the fuck is this faggot Jake Paul?

He's this dude who got really popular on Vine (if you remember that), and then moved to Youtube when it shutdown. He's got something like 8 Million subs and basically just makes CUHRAZEE prank videos and vlogs of him and his friends doing stupid shit with the money that Youtube throws at him.

He's so popular that an entire cottage industry of vloggers have formed making videos commenting on every little thing he does like tabloids. Some guy even coined the term Jake Paul Effect to describe how channels that make videos just mentioning Jake's name cause a huge boost in subscribers and viewership. It's fucking insane how one person can be so insanely popular, and even more insane that I'd literally never heard of him until this year.

Them being stupid doesn't really explain it though. I get that normies are into dumb/vapid things, but it takes a special kind of retard to gush over the presence of a fucking 6 year old because his parents dress him well and take good pictures of him. Like how do you even explain that to other people?

>OH MY GOD IT'S BEN HAMPTON!!!
>Literally who?
>He's that kid on Instagram with over a half million followers.
>Oh really? Why does he have so many followers?
>Well because he has a lot of followers! I'm going to go get his autograph.

It's fucking insane.

I don't hate the kid. I just don't understand how or why he's successful.

he's successful because people like being served idealized trite they'll never get to experience themselves. Also pedophiles.

He's going to grow up to be a massive faggot.

wouldn't you love to slap the entitlement right out of him?

he'd say some really smartass to you and you just slap his jaw off.

I'm honestly convinced it's (((someone))) testing the waters to see how malleable normalfags are and if memes, celebrities, and popularity can be forced at any time for (((their))) purposes.
How is a six year old doing nothing famous? Simple, (((they))) wanted him to be just to see how much influence (((they))) can exert.

“won the lottery” if you can call it like that. i wouldnt it label success for sure. early media attention in an empty business of shallowness, consumed mostly by women and numales : he’s propably gonna grow up being some leftist lgbtbbq faggot that eats a shotgun in his later years so i dont envy him one inch.

That makes sense. I've heard theories that part of the reason Jake Paul became so popular is that Youtube's ever-changing recommendation algorithms kept pushing his content to wide audiences and he learned to take advantage of it.

I'm sure this article is severely downplaying how much Ben's dad is involved in the whole thing. The guy's been doing social media for a living for years, and probably has a bunch of influential contacts.

Lmao. Reality will slap him hard on the cheek when he's older.
This is an assasination of child's character from his own father, milked by 'popularism' for money.
He's gonna run dry.

Soccer mums.
If you put your child out on internet it'll basically halfway to kidnapping.

no chad is coming out of this guy's nutsack. to be a chad you must have chad genes.

>670k
>instashit still irrelevant

easy, a white male is taking advantage of a small boy

Internet was not a mistake, leaving it easy enough for normies was.

Maybe a jew?

To this day I still don't understand the appeal of social media.

His dad bought followers and likes, so then some real retards noticed and followed too. Nothing more to it this shit happens A LOT. His dad even admitted to being a "social media veteran", meaning he's probably been hired for this shit many times before. Hence his "contacts".

So this kid, a white male, has only gone viral because his father, a white male, used his business contacts to make it happen? This is literally a patriarchy red flag. Why haven't tumblr exploded with rage over this yet?

Because he's irrelevant and no one's ever heard of him

>YouTube king Jake Paul
Who the fuck is Jake Paul?

There are cats and dogs that have more folowers than that. People love silly cute bullshit...

Except his 670k followers, and anyone that's read an article about him.

The subscription list for this kid should be a hit list.

by the time he’s 18 he’ll have gone on a massive alcohol and ket bender, probably will do some nasty porn too

I don't know him, so he's a nobody. I don't care about how many pajeets his dad bought to follow him.

some am*rican faggot in his early 20s
that's all you have to know, only am*ricans care about such "celebrities"

670k isn't much

I wouldn’t worry yourself, this post is amerimutt Jew tier celeb shit. I would gas the kid as well as the other celebs.

Delete this aids thread only Americans care about social media.

OP is a faggot

Your kid is a fucking loser. Kill him since he's too young to kill himself.

>kid makes people happy by being in pictures for them and they make him happy by making him famous

only a bad thing if you are a butthurt commie who gets mad at win win situations if it entails someone having more money

If you don't like capitalism, maybe you should move to russia you commie faggot.

>He doesn't even do anything
Social media isn't about doing anything or creating value though, it never was. It's a platform for naked emperors. Social media stars are the fakest people on earth, willing to turn their own lives into a commercial.

Reminds me of something I read here once before
>things are not popular because people like them, people like things because they are popular

670k is a lot of soccer moms and pedos who like seeing well dressed 6 year olds.

Imagine how empty your life must be to get excited about some kid with a nice haircut that you saw on the internet. "Normal" people are so fucking deficient.

yes it was a huge mistake.

a Genius invention that sent human intelligence overall into regression.

that and that fucking word "viral"alone make it not worth it.

The internet gives a voice to everyone. If you don't see anything wrong with that, you're part of the problem.

>blame Luther
>blame the guy who wrote on the jews and their lies

670k of idiots. Who even cares

Russia is aleady (((capitalistic))) country, boomercuck

Society will collapse, people will devolve into cannibalism, they will all die, the end

...

It was the smart phone that let all of these stupid people out of the box

This kid will be so fucked ab when he grows this can't be good for a child

He’s gonna grow up to be a really good guy.

that kid is gonna hate his parents

For jew

>Ben Hampton Has 670,000 Followers on Instagram. He’s Only 6 Years Old.

I'm sure his parents paid top dollar for it, too.

>this can't be good for a child
He'll probably go Chad mode and bully some autistic nerd virgins then get killed when some of them shoot up his school.

>who the fuck is this faggot Jake Paul?

Just a bullshit, glowing CIA retard, trying to take over the movement again by claiming to be our "Leader"

The name was picked because of Ron Paul...

And also my name is jake and the CIA hate me.

I feel like this is going to fuck his psyche up really bad

>capitalism rewards the hard working and the capable

on a scale of 1-10 how likely is this kid being touched by kiddie-diddlers like them celebrity kids from pedowood?

He's an accessory to Jake Paul, to them he as a person doesn't exist.

You're missing the point of my original question

It's his parents account. He just a little bleeder

It's Jewish nepotism.

>inventing Internet was a mistake?
Yes
The rest of your post was not needed at all

Capitalism rewards th....

Parents using their kids to become famous. Has been done a dozen times.

He' a male Kardashian in the making.

the internet is just a tool, but maybe humanity is not mature enough to handle it responsibly

why? because now you can clearly see how fake popularity contests are?

>That hair

He's gonna be diddled by pedos and end up gay if he hasn't already

15 years later:
>"Thank you, Ben, for your interest in our company. But I see that most of your aplications is empty. What do you do for a living?"
>"I instagram."
>"You what?"
>"I instagram."
>"Ah, oh well. Have you learned any skills in the last 15 years? Or have you had any job experience?"
>"No, just instagram. Can' t leave the house without making a ruckus."
>"Okay, but why do your really need this job? Someone with so many followers must have amassed quite the sum over the years."
>"Yeah, but since I was underaged, my parents spent it all on new clothes, a new house - basically background stuff to keep my photos interesing."
>"I see. Well, maybe we should let you stay inside your house."

How did society let parents exploiting their kids through social media become acceptable

He will die of a drug overdose at 17

>what are beauty pageants

As I said it' s been done before. But social media has a much higher reach.

This is due to lack of leadership and decent role models
