The case of Luigi Mangione illustrates how public interest can quickly morph into a platform for clout-chasing, as aspiring influencers seize on tragedy for visibility.
As Mangione's Instagram followers surged from 1,300 to over 74,000, the flood of tagged posts reveals the chaotic intersection of crime and social media notoriety, highlighting how tragedy can provoke opportunism.
Influencers tagging Mangione’s account in irrelevant contexts shows a disconcerting facet of social media culture, where personal tragedies become vehicles for self-promotion and attention-seeking behavior.
Despite his account's suspension, the swift rise in interest underscores a worrying trend where the details of a murder case become fodder for influencers seeking relevance.
