- cmelbye 10y agoSnapchat, Twitter, and YouTube have considerably lowered the barrier to entry. Before, you had to sign a contract with a media company. Now, anyone can sign up and push their personal brand.
- croon 10y agoI don't think it's a value statement. While I wouldn't equate the two in what I perceive as value, I think conceptually the two are the same. Oprah has been around much longer and reached people through TV. For young people now it's social media. That they may not carry any relevant interviews, social discussions, philantropy, etc is unfortunately secondary.
- chickenfries 10y agoTo be fair to snap influencers, at least they're not promoting Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil.
- oculusthrift 10y agoi don't know much about snap but i see celebrities selling scam health supplements all the time on instagram
- chickenfries 10y agoYeah in retrospect I'm not so sure I want to bet that influencers are any better. I just want to point out some of the issues where I think Oprah did a disservice to her viewers rather than educating them.
