Video throwing shade at basic S'pore influencers being basic wins approval

The saltier the better.

With half- and one-dimensional influencers a dime a dozen these days in Singapore, what can be done to make them more palatable?

By adding some salt, of course.

Less basic Internet person, Mini Moochi, has strung together a bunch of scenes -- like how a basic Singaporean influencer would -- to make a video to diss influencers and their antics:

Clocking close to 100,000 views in less than 24 hours, this video appears to be Mini Moochi's breakout hit and the one she will be remembered for, for a long time to come.

Because wading into the influencer-dissing game is sure to receive high marks and praise from your peers -- if done right.

This is especially so, after the calamitous cringefest that is the Faves Asia video, where young women in Singapore imagine they are famous because they have 12 followers each, which justifies their perpetual existence showcasing their fake flawless skin while in underwear.

Taking them down a notch is always good fun.

Less certain though is the potential blowback, as influencers in Singapore are known to be thin-skinned, cliquish and easily triggered, as they suffer from massive persecution complex or a need to maintain their drama-filled lives.

Regardless, let the games begin.
