The Good Side of Social Media
While some of the comments were too discouraging to read, Skipper also discovered the good side of social media. People were so interested in her project, and she was amazed by how many strangers were willing to help her along the way. For example, one of her followers was willing to store the car she traded in their garage.
Back in 2005, Kyle MacDonald completed this project without the perks of social media- but for Demi, her TikTok community was a big part of her journey. That’s not to say she wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help and support of her followers, but she definitely enjoyed sharing her journey with the world through social media.
