【Watch The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman Online】
This episode of Black Mirrorsucks.
In the ultimate backhanded compliment against her own son,Watch The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman Online mommy blogger Katie Bower took to Instagram to wish her child a happy sixth birthday, and to lament the fact that "his photos never got as many likes."
SEE ALSO: Influencer sued for not promoting Snap's Spectacles enough"From a statistical point of view, he wasn't as popular with everyone out there," she complained in the caption, before musing over whether people liked her younger children better because they were babies. "I saw all that because I want to believe that it wasn't him ... that it was on me. My insufficiency caused this statistical deficit because obviously my Munch should get ALL the love and squinty eyes are totally adorable."
Yikes. In the post, which has since been taken down, Bower admits she's worried that her son will "see the numbers" one day and "have to learn that his value is not in online approval."

Both Instagram and Twitter users responded, horrified that she would put so much value on her kid's internet popularity.

Some were supportive, but still gently criticized her for her caption.
"All my love, Katie ..." one follower said. "But maybe some things are better left off Instagram."


Bower also faced backlash in September, when she admitted that she "had literally no idea what the deal was with 9/11" and that she "didn't realize that people were actually in the buildings."
"It didn't hit me until a year later that so many people died," she captioned a photo of her sons patriotically sitting on a bale of hay.

"Unfortunately there is always backlash when things are twisted and taken out of context," Bower said in an Instagram DM, but said that the messages of support she's received "makes being vulnerable worth it."
Bower says that Weston doesn't know what Instagram is, but knows that "Mommy has a job on the computer that means we have friends all over the world that we have never met in person."
At least he doesn't care about clout!
UPDATE: Nov. 19, 2018, 4:26 p.m. PST The controversial post has since been taken down.
