LOS ANGELES — A mid-tier lifestyle creator filed for bankruptcy after the algorithm quietly decided they were “no longer someone you’d grab coffee with.” Engagement fell 91 percent in six days. The remaining 9 percent was their mom and a bot named Kyle.
In a tearful Stories dump later deleted, they blamed “the culture” and a competitor who posted a slightly better morning routine. The plant in the background was not available for comment. It had already left.
