The presidential campaign of former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg has begun an initiative to pay social media users to promote his work and agenda ahead of the 2020 election.

The startup, seen by the Daily Beast as an attempt for Bloomberg to “seem cool,” comes a few days after Bloomberg’s campaign announced its plans to double the amount he spends on advertising amid several problems with the Iowa caucus.

Bwahahahahahaha! Even nanny bloomers ain't got THAT much money. And, as faux-cu-hauntus would say, "He has like a buh-zillion dollars."

Ya got your ‘influencers’.. and then ya got your ‘under-the -influencers’.

Don’t be under the influence of ‘under-the-influencers’. They are on the same level as ‘effluencers’.. aka ‘BS’ artistas.

I hear Micro-Mike is penning his memoir, entitled “How to Buy Friends and Social Media Influencers”

Bloomberg has the personal charm of the famously heavily-infested Bedbugs in his own city.

He doesn’t know how to speak the Mid-Westerners’ and/or Southerners’ language, I certainly hope he tries. Those video clips are must-see tv.

Bloombox’s millions spent on “cool” ads like this? A fool and his money.

Having started a PAC and seeing Twitter’s ad rates, I suspect that Bloomberg is getting his money’s worth and then some by going this route.

$500 of Twitter ads get much less exposure than what I can already organically produce myself. I’d be paying that for like 30% more exposure on one single post. Kind of absurd, wonder who is paying that price?

Hell I wish I could get in on this.

I’ll crank out a bunch of utter BS, and tell him that is what the kids are into.

Like he’s gonna know the difference.
