#2> Since my initial Twitter thread about Dr. Hoshino, she made her Twitter account private and has shed around 700 followers. She no longer publicizes her coffee donation page, though her Amazon page is live and still allows her to earn commissions. Her Instagram and Facebook accounts vanished. Her LinkedIn profile still claims she works at Mount Sinai Hospital. Her supervisor and the General Counsel for the NYC Department of Health declined to speak with me; a public records request went unanswered; and Hoshino herself has declined to comment.
What drives people to fake an online persona like this? Do they not fear getting caught or is that part of the thrill?

The entire covid phenomena can be seen as one huge grift. Here you have a small fry. A little baby minnow.

Phenomena is a grift? Millions of people have died — what is the grift?

Fear? It’s not as if anything will happen to her. And if this blogger didn’t feel like investigating her, she’d have kept both some fame and extra income. If you have no morals, and crave recognition, there is little reason not to do this.

Money. Social media is 90% people lying to make more money.
I mean all those #girlboss and #babeswhohustle motivationaly posts are also just to get new subordinates for your MLM marketing scam. And then there's people congratulating themselves on pumping and dumping SafeMoon crypto coins ...
I don't know who started the "fake it till you make it" advice, but it's certainly how most Instagram accounts operate. This guy perfected that: https://medium.com/@chrisbuetti/how-i-eat-for-free-in-nyc-us...
(I used to run a bikini company, so I have practical experience working with Instagram influencers)

There is an entire subculture of people drinking bleach and taking horse dewormer and swallowing Alex Jones magic brain pills daily. It’s a huge money making venture for some of the worst people in society.

#9Does this violate the doxing rules on HN? It's certainly more "random social media drama" than hacker-related.
