Is it true some popular twitter accounts/social media accounts are paid by compaines to only promote their groups/specific group?

i remember idols themselves contacting and meeting up with fan accounts irl

that's probably enough to keep fan accounts going for decades

you don't even need to pay a cent

They CAN BE paid for promotions the same way as any other influencer, but that's all. They don't get paid for every post.

When they do, they have to include it in their posts, because that's the law.

Yup, some companies and artist run some fan accounts. It makes sense in you can control how people view your artist/group and people view it as organic marketing because fans running account.

Not Kpop related but I remember pop artist Normani was caught running her own fan account. Twitter killed her over it

I know that companies pay accounts like Koreab00, Popbase, etc. to write posts about their artists. In fact, I suspect that controversial tweets with hundreds of thousands of likes criticizing idols are inflated by bots bought by the companies themselves to generate buzz.

I'm not sure about fanbase accounts, but they probably have contact with the companies.

I deserve to get paid for literally saving Day6 from nugudom

Shit, OP has discovered the reason on why I have been posting about Twice recently.

Because you have way too much time on your hands?

probably yeah

atp the dead internet theory might as well be true

edit: i think u probably need a certain "following" or audience before u get the opportunity tho... tbh if i were offered money, i would promote ANY group under the sun with very few exceptions

I read on twitter that a big fan account is actually paid by a big company to promote a group

The account was originally a fan of this group so doesn’t sound like a bad deal

Does Allkpop do this and where do I sign up H2H number 1 promoter here SM!

you've got to be like icyruios and their affection for day6

you only get paid if the group you are promoting succeeds!!! no success no won

Last I heard icy moved up from the janitorial position at JYPE

Hi,

Yes - this is facts. True engagement has declined. When I say true engagement btw, it means genuine engagement (like conversations that actually make sense within the context of a post). It's about clicks now.

Fake news spreads online faster than the genuine truth and when companies like Meta stop paying for 3rd party fact checking, you can get away with more shit.

Drake for example - owns quite a few bot farms for engagement. Other Companies/Artist PR pay him so they could use this service.

TAG PR is another example. They specialize in Reddit and Twitter engagement to manipulate public opinion. The NY Times even wrote about this, and there's tons of proof online on YT vids of spam comments, hate comments that get massive like numbers even after a comment just got posted.

Yes...

This is no different from Companies sponsoring a Social Media Account whether it be a Commercial Account or a small Account.

It's not a Kpop thing either.... Trump has his fair share of Social Media Accounts that he "sponsors".

I invest so much time into kpop I might as well see if this can become a paid partnership I’ll threaten to leave SM and H2H and move to YG or Hybe

Times are tough nowadays

I think it's a cool and smart move.
