Question for discussion: Did The Birds Papaya purchase 100K+ followers after her paid-for-by-Knix walk down the Sports Illustrated Swim show at Miami Swim Week? We think so. We think The Birds Papaya is purchasing the majority of her likes, follows and views.
Thank you so much for this amazing work! It’s all right there. The evidence all points to Sarah Landry, The Birds Papaya buying more than 100,000 followers after the SI event. Furthermore, your work has shown that she was outright lying about how she was made part of the event. It is very clear her spot was due, solely, through her affiliation with Knix and part of the sponsorship deal that was negotiated. The podcast stats are fascinating. Do you really have a podcast when no one is listening? That’s the philosophical question for 2024.
I don’t think anyone cares about Sarah. Look at her outside of Instagram. The numbers don’t lie. Look at her Linkden, no one followers her. Youtube videos with her, podcasts, they all have low numbers. Almost every feature on her is paid for by Sarah, Reitmans or Knix. :/ Honestly, what’s to like?
These blips in my feed continue to entertain in a disinterested sort of way. I fear I’m gradually growing to enjoy them a bit more per thread. Perhaps I should pull back. Or maybe I’ll just rubberneck.
Social blade results of the last 30 days. The Birds Papaya’s numbers are too high for the lack of coverage she received.
She’s completely lost the plot
I agree The Birds Papaya’s is spinning out. 🍿
This is great. I love when the snark is backed up with real data 😙🤌
Proof is in the pudding.
She is undoubtedly full of crap and a LOT of her followers are purchased dud accounts. She had bery obvious fake accounts from the Ukraine thanking her for having them at the last Reitman’s event! 😆 She’s an idiot joke of a human.
Alix Earle is the “it girl” of the moment and the object of countless men’s fantasies. There’s absolutely no way more people are interested in following SNL over her. It’s interesting that she hasn’t tried to be more discreet but I guess she truly thinks she’s invincible.
Sarah is delusional and everyone in her circle who goes along with this is accountable too.
This is amazing.
Another 5000+ followers today 🙃
I’m curious… how much money cost 5000 every day ?
