Downfall of UPSC | From Public Service to Reel Star Factory
The video satirically outlines a 4-step strategy for civil servants to become social media influencers, criticizing how UPSC-cleared officials are using their positions to create Instagram content instead of focusing on public service. The creator argues this trend corrupts the purpose of public service and wastes taxpayer money.
Summary
This video presents a satirical critique of how Indian civil servants are transforming from public servants into social media content creators. The speaker mockingly outlines a 'strategy' for becoming Instagram famous after clearing UPSC exams. The first step involves clearing UPSC by making grand promises about eliminating poverty and advancing the nation, even suggesting using fake certificates if needed. The second step focuses on creating an Instagram profile with specific requirements: putting the service designation (IAS/IPS/IRS) before the name, prominently displaying government affiliation, and purchasing Instagram's official verification badge for ₹700 per month. The third step involves creating two types of content: motivational content copied from existing influencers like Sandeep Maheshwari, and showcasing basic job responsibilities as if they deserve special recognition (like raiding adulterated food vendors or clearing illegal stalls). The final step involves running Instagram ads, with the speaker noting they've seen numerous public servant profiles promoted through paid advertisements, costing anywhere from ₹500 daily to lakhs per month. The video concludes with serious criticism, identifying two responsible parties: the civil servants themselves who mix their official duties with content creation, and the public who consumes and encourages such content. The speaker argues that government officials are appointed to serve the public, not to become models or actors, and that this trend wastes taxpayer money while corrupting the purpose of public service.
About this episode
Hey everyone, the rise of reel stars on public money shouldn't be taken casually. Public servants are expecting to be appreciated for basic performance of duties and falling as low as running account ads. I'm not against creating content but publishing your government roles and responsibilities in against the standards. #upsc #upscmotivation #ias #ips #upscexam
