The good thing about influencer culture was anyone could become famous, opening doors for people who never would have had a chance in the past. The bad thing about influencer culture was anyone could become famous, including some incredibly toxic, exploitative sociopaths who would do anything for attention in the form of clicks, shares, likes and subscriptions. For every artist sharing and monetizing their doll making hobby or their drain unclogging, power washing or lawn care business, there’s a dozen Paul brothers or Andrew Tate ‘alpha’ bro wannabes spewing cruelty for laughs, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and assorted other forms of hate.
