FOMO on concerts? Bengaluru woman shares ‘dystopian’ way to fake attendance at events | Trending News

Anushka Chhikara, a content creator from Bengaluru, recently shared her experience of using a service called “Get Your Flex,” which allows people to pay to be “tagged” in social media posts to pretend they attended events like concerts. Chhikara described her “social experiment” as eye-opening and unsettling, and said it left her concerned about the future. The service taps into the fear of missing out (FOMO) by offering users a chance to appear at events they couldn’t attend in real life. For a fee, customers will be tagged in a photo or video from an event, which they can then repost on their own accounts. The service operates through fake accounts with curated images, allowing users to choose whether they want a tag from a “boy” or “girl” account. Depending on the city, customers can select the type of content they want, whether it’s a concert, an aesthetic café shot, or a photo from a swanky restaurant. Chhikara was impressed by the service’s efficiency as she received her promised tag. But she admitted that one …
