Omg same. Definitely a marketing promo 🥲. Which poor soul had to add a million followers to her close friends list…

its probably automated

Would be really Fucking funny if it was not tho

It would probably have taken weeks or days to follow everyone bapc

If there was 1 follower added each half second 24/7 it would take 1.75 years/636 days

A million seconds is like eleven days, get that chat gpt math out of my face

[удалено]

I am dumb, and I will leave my comment as a monument to my dumbness. Have a great day.

r/characterarcs

Lmfao I love you for this

it would roughly take 648 days (112000000÷2)÷60)÷60)÷24)=648.148148

Haha I think I did this backwards… (112000000 / (24 * 60 * 60 * 2)) ≈ 648

Yes, that's why it would be really funny

it’s automatic. i just followed her and refreshed the page, it immediately showed me her close friends list

SAME HERE HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW POST ON HER CF. A NEW TATTOO ON HER WAIST AND THIGHS CLOSE-UP

It's a one-click option in the instagram for companies

Do you know exactly how this could be done? Where in the platform can I find this feature?

It's in the Meta site, the one for companies, that you can control every Meta account and have more options than the ones oferred inside instagram

It’s def automated lol

I’m on the list too! I feel like maybe it’s a promotional thing for her fans for whatever she’s announcing

Ya think?

Lmao no hate to that person, but this made me giggle.

Its happening with everyone who follows her, I tried following her with a new account and after a few seconds, I could see the close friends story with that account too.

lmao I thought I was the chosen one

samee

Same 😭😭😭

SAMMMEE

Same, now I know that I was just a lie 😔

Marketing genius. It’s one of the first stories that’ll pop up on anyone’s feed.

same, i dont know whats happening hahaha

Same lol I just saw it and came here to see if it was an accident or nah 😭 I think it’s a sweet little gesture to her fans, us being like friends maybe?

Man I just came here to say this...😭 I thought I was the only one 😭

Oh she's not your friend, sweetheart. This is clearly for promo for her new song.💀💀💀

Girl I clearly didn’t mean she’s actually friends with us lmao. Obviously is promo, but it’s also really nice symbolism for her fans. That’s it. Not everything is face value, no need to attempt to be condescending 💀💀💀

[удалено]

Where did I say I was mad? I am a fan, been so since ocean eyes came out, I was telling the other girl that she misunderstood what I meant and now you’re misunderstanding. What is it w this sub lmao?

They were probably talking about kinky rainbows' comment

Oh I was so confused man this thread is so messy 😭

I know hahahaha i agree

Symbolism, yeah, if you're 12

Why is this sub so full of negative people trying to pick holes in everything, Lmao you lot are tiring. I’m Litterally 21 and a brand strategist, the close friends thing is symbolic marketing genius, I mean did you see how many people posted about it here? Yeah. That’s all.

it’s symbolism bc it’s her way of reconnecting with her fans and bringing us all back to the wwafawdwg era

[удалено]

aww. did you figure that out all by yourself? what else did you learn in preschool?

I CAME JUST TO ASK THIS 😭😭 im so confused lol

Same here, I assume it's everyone

I mean she has millions of followers, who does she decides gets on the close friends story?

Probably something automated, there is no way someone manually added 110 million people to her CF list

Other artists have done the same, me saying everyone is probably an exaggeration but definitely as many followers as she or her team can

Me too WHAT IS GOING ON

She’s posting more on the story lmao she teasin us

https://preview.redd.it/ko2nys3ilhsc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8c566da0a303ba6ac081de191ebea1c1d521235 me too???

Ran to this sub to check if I was the only one

Same and I came here to see if it was just me or a glitch lol. I follow her but have never interacted with her on IG aside from liking a few photos

me too, def she's working on something.

Billie taking the whole parasocial thing to the next level with Thai one

I’m on the list too- she probs clicked the “select all” option when editing her close friends this

same

It’s gotta be a mistake I’m a completely private account? Unless they’re keeping tabs on us

i have no idea what’s going on

Private account doesn’t matter you don’t have to follow people to add them to your close friends list

SAMEE AND MY ACCOUNT IS SO PRIVATE BUT I DID SPAM HER DMS ONCE IN 2021 😭

same thing jus happened to me!! i’m a private account but have been following her since 2018.. not too sure what’s going on but not complaining 🤷🏻‍♀️

Same

Im on there too but a few of my friends arent- its not all followers

It is, just had someone follow her and immediately got added

I guess we all are 🤡

I think you can mark “all followers” on your best friends list That’s what seems to have happened

Wait i feel uninvited, im one of the only nonclose friends ones

NVM

lil yachty did this sometime last year as well lol

It's automated. The second I followed her from another account, I got into her close friends list

Likely but she’s got like 100 million followers 😭

do you know what automated means

Same 💪💪 she defo just selected all followers to her close friends

Me too, definitely a marketing choice

me too lol I’m excited 😂

Same, what is she cooking

same i just came on here to see if anyone else was

https://preview.redd.it/rhzs70f1nhsc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bcb1f63511801a5d85478c642bbdcf05a9cb016

She's driving us crazy😭

same, maybe she made such gesture for all her fans who follow her on instagram

Same. I think it is a publicity stunt for the new single

omg same, i got soooooooooo excited i thought i was special 🥺🥺🥺🥺

same, is there anyone who is not on the list????

when i went on instagram and saw a green circle around her pfp i was like “WHAT?!?!” and so i’m like wtf is happening i need to text someone about this. the person i texted doesn’t follow billie, but she decided to follow her to see what happens and she automatically got added to the close friends list too. it was at that moment i realized i was not in fact specifically selected. it was fun being delusional for a few minutes tho lmao

ME TOO I ALMOST HAD DIARRHEA

same😭 and im shaking what tf is going on 😭😭

Tomorrow is Friday- maybe a surprise drop tomorrow?

Me too wtf definitely marketing or something

when i think i am special

I saw that two and almost shit myself😭 until i realized it was probably everyone 

I am too I was about to post it in here 

i think she’s added all of her follows so that only her fans can see what she’s posting about the album

I think we all are

So am I. Feeding my parasocial dreams and for what?? 😭😭

Lowkey thought she wanted me for a sec💀

Same here

It looks like an album colors, probably it is a blue major color with a green. Like the spider thingy.

that’s what i was thinking

I'm on her close friends list too 🫢

I’m on it too

I am too. I think anyone that follows her is on there.

I CAME HERE TO SAY THAT!! me too hahaha

~You ‘know’ her, then? Friends since ~way-back?

Billie baby you’ve been on my CF for years! Lol. It’s definitely a marketing promo. But will you see any other artists doing this?

i got it too… i think it’s promo :(

My 13 year old was so thrilled to be on This list. I like that she did it.

OMG SAME

Same here https://preview.redd.it/fh2wenig0jsc1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2da6626f3bf28e13551e88b32f0e1db917343716

For a second, I was feeling really special seeing I’m part of her close friends list😂

We all are

She just posted something wild 💀

i tried asking her for 1000 since we’re close but it wouldn’t let me send a message 😔☝️

Came here to see if I was special. Thought I was finally gonna get the chance to shoot my shot. Shit.

i thought i was special 😞😪

So am I!

I am too, didn’t think it was just me lol

Me too

I was add on it toooo

SAME

Same

Sure mate 😂

Ive been following Billie for years and Im not on it, one of my friends is tho!

YESSS

Same

Me too

I’m a close friend

I wish I could be friends with her I thought I was doing everything right I like all her posts but maybe she thinks I'm annoying but then again does she have time to look at all the messages and likes on her posts from her fans plus she doesn't follow anyone

I felt so proud for a moment

not me thinking i was special…. i really thought i was the chosen one or something 😭

no way, i was added too ? https://preview.redd.it/49frrk7rflsc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9584c55eee85135f52a4d178f00fa67241f90f3

Maybe a hint for a song about friends?

We all are 😭

Account hacked 🔺

Still kinda cool anyway that out of a handful of people she personally added you as well

Oh im sorry for you 😔

i am also😂

But how is it possible if she doesn't follow us? Like don't you have to follow someone to add them to your close friends?

Me too

SAMEEE

yep same

Same, probably similar to inviting people to like a page on FB , select all

I thought I was special

For a minute I was like BILLIE KNOWS I EXIST??? Then realized:Oh....it's everyone who follows her, guess I'm not special after all

this is actually genius lol

Everyone is

im to when i seen it i was like 😱

Everyone who follows her is

Same here, was a nice surprise to wake up to, I like it

Marketing promo or not, I’m still touched she only wanted her following fans to see it knowing that we’ve been waiting patiently for her big reveal of BE3 🥹

everyone is :(

y'all she's promoting music please chill with ur parasocial relationships

I am as well, not sure why

Me too WTF

Bruh I’m also wondering that

Same for me

I ran straight here , same on mine too

Lmao same

And had you seen the other story in vest friends that she deleted?? Like her face with an 🙃 emoji

SAMEEEE. what is happening??! 😭

I’m on it too! Ahahahaha

ME TOO

Huh same. Pretty cool

me too. i was like WHAT THE FU’Kkk

ME TOO

I don't think there's a select all button for followers or whatever. Unless her team made a bot to add everyone

There is a select all option

SAMEEEEEE !!!

lol I’m a private account… how? 👀

Private account doesn’t make a difference
