Invisible nonentities have a rather painful inability to garner support/interest. Maybe it only seems that way to them, but I think not.
Here's my perception: Let's say a non-invisible person opens a business selling some upscale item that no one really NEEDS, say, expensive wine. They urge everyone they meet to support them, check out their place whatever. So a huge number of people visit the shop and buy an expensive bottle of wine that they wouldn't have bought otherwise. It's like the non invisible just exude vibes that make people that aren't even really their friends want to join what ever they're doing, support them and even emulate them. Let's say the non invisible person posts some earth shattering news on their MySpace, such as "I let a really foul fart this morning." Without even asking, they will get comments back, such as "Oh was it one of those sulfurous ones?" and then another "friend" will say "or maybe it invokes the essence of rotting cabbage?" This can carry on for days. Now comes the invisible person. Let's say they ask people to do something really difficult, time consuming, and costly like (OH MY GAWD HERE IT COMES......) leaving a quick comment on a website. Not asking them to spend $40 for a bottle of wine. But the invisible person gets only maybe a couple family members to do it, maybe their employees or current contractors or people angling for a job if they have anyone like that around, and maybe 1 or two of their best best friends. It's not about the WHAT--we've already established that the WHAT is trival. It's about REMEMBERING it in the first place, and if they remember or get reminded then it all boils down to WHO. Here's how everyone else's thinking goes when it's an invisible non entity in question and if it even crosses their mind at all: "I don't give a rats ass good or bad about HIM/HER. Why should I lift a finger (literally) for HIM/HER.... no one is looking I'm not gonna, NAH." If it were a "cool" person in question it wouldn't be that thought process-- The person is so cool they make an impression no need for them to worry about being forgotten. They have the ability to make a huge number of people think: "I WANT to be wherever they are, here I am .... OMG they let a FART, I just have to say something about it and maybe this cool person will realize that I'm alive." So there you have it.
