Support from Wood Guy to Bayülgen
Odun Herif (Kadir Doğrubakar), who has 2.7 million followers on Twitter, said that Okan Bayülgen was “not too unfair” about the influencer statements. Adding the words “Especially when you want to turn the popularity on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter into money, you have to go out of the profile you have created”, Odun Herif said that he agrees with Bayülgen and said, “Not all, but if we talk about it in general, I don’t think much different.”
Wood Guy claimed that although he generalized for all social media phenomena and influencers, Bayülgen was aware that not all of them were empty, pathetic, garbage. Making a general statement about the comments that the phenomena make a lot of money, Odun Herif said, “It’s not true. There are exceptions, of course. Accounts with millions of followers, reaching hundreds of thousands of people with a single post, of course earn more than a worker. ” he said. But he added that it’s a supply/demand issue.
