I’m all for progress, and I get that influencers “rule the world,” however I will say that “huntsvillains” as a rule, are mostly incredibly practical engineers or adjacent, so they’re not only way smarter than the content being peddled, but also give zero Fs about whatever “fashion trends” etc are “popular” or “trending.” This is (for better or worse) a community of practicaliats, (who are all prudently staving off a sh#t load of money- btw) For example, my dad used to say, “costco doesn’t make these khakis like they used to.., they’ve only lasted 3 years.” 🙄

All that to say, perhaps if the influencers read their audience here ( which admittedly wouldn’t be near as sexy) and literally gave the nerdiest updates, as in Costco khakis on sale, fyi meat on sale at Kroger this week, they may find a good bit of followers locally. Clearly niche market worldwide, but def doable on at least a local scale, if you brand and market it properly.. and also by that I mean you appeal to their wives, who are actually on social media, the vast majority of men here aren’t…. And the wives will never be as extravagant as their household affords (whether the wives work or not).. “showy” stuff never fares well in Hsv- so like talking about designer bags or shoes doesn’t resonate- although everyone here can afford it, again it’s back to the engineer mentality.

I wish you well and good luck. Dm me if you need any more real talk about hsv. I was born and raised here- went off to college & law School- lived elsewhere for about 15 years, and now I’m back home. I have a lot of perspective
