Sadly, we are all in some black mirror dystopia where everyone has to have a fucking brand, even if they work in a factory, because their goal is to become a factory influencer and, ultimately, make money from shilling.
All of it is gross and, on some level, not good for the soul. the endless chasing of numbers, doing anything for the algo, clout chasing, it's just all disgusting and, quite honestly, growing up a kid influencer, like Ryan for example, I'm sure most of these kids will grow up fucked up in the same way we have seen Hollywood kid actors grow up into troubled adults.
it's also troubling when the parents are making all their money off the kids.
