As it happens in life...

(Polonia)
Traducción: Juan Carlos Mejia
He was god on the web. Millions of followers, subscriptions, views.
The best brands vied for his favour. They paid exorbitant amounts of money for advertisement.
She had practically nothing. The viewership was on the level of statistical error. He wouldn't normally pay attention to someone like her. But she was so beautiful.
He knew that he should be going up all the time - that's what reason told him. His heart told the opposite.
They started to date.
He lost a lot - most of the women and gays crushing on him disappeared.
She started her career.
And then dumped him...
Fue el dios de Internet. Con millones de seguidores, suscriptores, visitas.
Las mejores marcas luchaban por estar cerca de él. Desembolsando exorbitantes cifras por publicidad.
Ella no tenía prácticamente nada. Su audiencia estaba al nivel del error estadístico. Normalmente él no se fijaría en alguien como ella. Pero era preciosa.
Sabía que necesitaba seguir creciendo - eso le decía la razón. Su corazón le decía lo contrario.
Empezaron a salir.
Perdió mucho: la mayoría de las mujeres y los gays que se le insinuaban desaparecieron.
La carrera de ella despegó.
Y luego cortó con él...
