And robotic tone aside, the way she talks about all of these projects feels pretty similar-she may be telling you about something she likes, but she’s also implicitly telling you that she wants you to like it, too.
GAWKER JEREMY STRONG PROFESSIONAL
Except… like most celebrities, her social media accounts are professional tools that she uses for different purposes (while she uses Twitter to promote The Morning Show and Hello Sunshine, she rarely mentions Draper James there that content lives on Instagram.). And sure, I guess it’s possible that these posts only indicate her genuine interest and not any financial interest in crypto, especially since she’s not hashtagging any of them as #ads.
