A San Francisco café shut down just months after opening, all because of a viral TikTok post. When a local food creator with 15,000 followers was told she wasn’t “famous enough” for a collab, the internet took notice—and the backlash was swift. Negative reviews flooded in, the chef was removed, and the café had to close and rethink its future. This whole episode has sparked a bigger conversation: Do follower counts really define value, or is there more to building community and supporting local voices? #Food #SanFrancisco #InfluencerCulture
