Uranium3006It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore
Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats. #big #instagram
kescusayThe concept of “influencer” as a career needs to die a quick death.
it's fancy speak for "salesman"
YoryoOoo it's the equivalent of "side hustle" just being a 2nd job.
Fancy speak for “cheap salesman who has a large network” /0.5s
Wha…What?! So you’re saying I’m not a BOSS BABE?!
ripcordI'm glad I don't really get these references. Tells me I've avoiding some of the right bullshit.
You were never either one of those
I call them peddlers
I mean I think it's a fine career, it's the name that's dumb.
For the most part they're just entertainers.
Like they could be a video journalist or a nature photographer or a lifestyle model. All those would be more descriptive than just influencer.
I prefer "content creators. " Sametimes they can be very educational or entertaining. (I watch a lot of comedy, travel, and home workout content.)
You don’t like the Z-list celebrities?
Why though? You don’t have to be their customer. But clearly lot of people are.
It’s a double edged sword. I do like some of the niche content the industry has created. I like coffee and I get a lot of indepth coffee analysis from folks who likely wouldn’t be able to spend the time doing so if they needed “real” jobs. I think it’s the ones where there’s no actual valuable content that is what gets people annoyed. I don’t understand how someone can just play video games in front of a camera. Or where they’re famous for their personality.
