We talk about an industry were people receive money for just being themself. At the core of this "profession" the content is the product and procuct is the content. There is no way to distinguish this. > Understanding the motivations behind media creation is critical for navigating biases. No, it is for this completly irrelevant, because there is no straight path how influencer, creator and the whole industry evolved. People come with all kind of motivation and grow into all kind of paths and motiations. There is no "single truth" here, but a dozen different that just happen to lead all to the same result.

> We talk about an industry were people receive money for just being themself. Some people, perhaps. Others will mold their persona to suit the needs of the market. Others will wear an entirely different personality. Some are open about this, though they may choose to express it in other terms. Others are not open about this. > No, it is for this completly irrelevant, because there is no straight path how influencer, creator and the whole industry evolved. People come with all kind of motivation and grow into all kind of paths and motiations. I agree to a degree, but ultimately some motivations are more important when evaluating the relationship between the creator/influencer and the consumer. It is problematic when the creator/influencer is willfully deceptive. There are far more opportunities for the influencer to be deceptive.
