I find influencer culture interesting.
For me, it boils down again to people not liking to think for themselves because the world is not a happy place anymore. Thinking for oneself mostly means being sad and angry now, or lying to oneself that things aren’t as bad as they actually are.
So instead, people happily watch other people who are stereotypically good looking live what they know are fake fantasy lives as they shill garbage products and lousy advice. They prefer to outsource their thinking to these people (advertisers), because the only happy world is a made up one at this point.
While it is most likely that the world remains an absolute shit show now and continues to deteriorate, hiding from this fact will only make things worse. It’s sad to watch, especially when people bring blameless children into it, but I suppose everyone is just doing their best. The problem is just that we are all pretty dumb I suppose.
