The Authenticity Drought
The types of people that proudly call themselves "influencers," and describe what they create merely as "content," are so profoundly allergic to authenticity that it bewilders the mind. Don't believe me? Look no further than the usage of "unalive" in the modern lexicon. The verb "unalive" became a thing because content creators (predominantly on YouTube) were being penalized by advertisers for talking about suicide and other heavy topics.
