Report: Michael Bloomberg Paying Social Media Influencers to Make Him ‘Seem Cool’

Kyle Morris 7 Feb 2020

The presidential campaign of former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg has begun an initiative to pay social media users to promote his work and agenda ahead of the 2020 election.

The startup, seen by the Daily Beast as an attempt for Bloomberg to “seem cool,” comes a few days after Bloomberg’s campaign announced its plans to double the amount he spends on advertising amid several problems with the Iowa caucus.

Tribe, a “branded content marketplace” that connects social-media users and influencers with brands they would like to promote, can now be used to show support for Bloomberg’s campaign while receiving payment.

For a fee of $150, Bloomberg’s campaign is reaching out to micro-influencers, someone with 1,000 to 100,000 followers, to establish content “that tells us why Mike Bloomberg is the electable candidate who can rise above the fray, work across the aisle so ALL Americans feel heard & respected.”

Good thing for him he has a LOT of money.

I can even see all the Kardasians filing for divorces and cutting each other with knives to win THAT prize.

I have numerous liberal friends.  Even they won't vote for Bloomberg.  He irritates them too. 

But hey, it's his money.  He can spend it however foolishly he wishes.

Maybe he can ask his mama what she did to get people to pretend to like him when he was a child?
