Influencers today - or, if you don't like the word "influencers", people whose primary skill is creating personas and content on social media - are the equivalent of Hollywood about 1912.

You and I may not like it, but it's not going to go away, it's only going to get bigger. Social media influencing is the wave of the future in entertainment and culture. Social media is increasingly a central pillar through which people live their lives and navigate culture. And relating to a fanbase through social media, and cultivating a persona and parasocial relationships and having some form of charisma that people want to see through that medium, is going to be a huge part of that for the foreseeable future. It's a job and it's going to be a more and more important job. Especially since people have as yet barely started to scratch the surface on monetizing it.

We don't have to feed the beast, we can just simply not pay attention and trash it to everyone we know.
These "influencers" should make something useful their new primary skill. Otherwise they'll be in the street eating dirt and grass during the next recession.

Sorry if it sounded like I was being bitchy to you; I wasn't. I just cannot believe being pretty and telling people "This weight loss tea worked for me, along with this new waterproof mascara from Modern Bimbo, Incorporated! I totes recommend them!" is considered a real job.

“Modern Bimbo”??

NAYRT--see, I get writers/artists/people who create something having to market themselves on social media and fans forming parasocial relationships around that. I don't get "influencers" who are just popular because they're popular like some kind of minor fame ouroboros. There's been rich people famous for their excesses and beautiful people famous for their beauty for pretty much ever, but I don't get being invested in random people's lives just because they overshare on the internet.

eh, as soon as these kids figure out they basically run a small Business and have to pay taxes on it, theyll probably balk. it's all nice n fun until the government wants its share of profit.
