Super forward asking for a kiss on lips over a message.

haha I’ve been away from twitter for like a week and I came back to a feed only consisting of KOL mentions and “look between <mji9 and 0p:> on your keyboard”

It’s actually a cultural thing, in China KOL == influencer 

IMO it’s a bit superficial to be so hung on term rather than understand the vibe behind it 

Having said that, most influencer/KOL discussions in professional context are repulsive

Though tons of behind the scene market moving factors are tied to that

I literally felt this on a spiritual level.

Also when did this term KOL even come into play?

Influencers was one thing, advisors felt ok to get away with it but KOL... not the vibe at all

TIL what a KOL is. Never heard of it before. At this point I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

My least favorite addition to the vernacular this cycle
