“I feel like social media at this point is kind of b*******. At the beginning it was amazing and a lot of fun. It was like, ‘Cool, I can talk to my fans!' And now I think that we’re losing the art of it."

Upton went on to slam social media for overpowering personalities the promotional posts and explained:

"When I first joined Twitter it was just me, but [when] you’ve got contracts, it’s so planned. Now it’s about who has the best marketing, not who has a really good personality."

Despite her comments on social media from over eight years ago, Upton continues to remain active on several online platforms. She has around 6.7 million followers on Instagram and 14.6 followers on TikTok.

As per reports, Upton is worth around $30 million as of 2023. She has made a small fortune through her career as an actress and model. However, Upton also has deals with top brands and endorses them on her social media platforms from time to time.
