I disagree. Being an actor is intensely social, physical and plays perfectly into what is traditionally, and correctly, considered a well lived life.

- TheFreim 3y agoThat's a good point, you may be right.
- kiba 3y agoAs an actor, I love performing on stage! I don't imagine that I will ever be famous though.
- fauxpause_ 3y agoBeing an influencer isn’t intensely social?
- npunt 3y agoI imagine influencers are far more parasocial than social. Acting involves attunement with fellow actors and being part of a larger creative process and work. It's a lot of showing up in person and figuring out how to work with others. Influencers need only stay at home, work a camera, and manage parasocial fan conversations. There's no inherent in-person physicality of relationships and all the socializing that entails, nor even the need for peer relationships or any connection to a larger work that the influencer is a part of. At its core it's only a streamer and some people they probably don't know watching.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoDepends on the kind of influencer. I see plenty of influencers travelling the world and mingling with plenty of people on corporate dime. I think it's important to make the distinction between people who stream video games versus professional influencers. Disclaimer: I don't rate either.
- jutrewag 3y agoIt does depend on the influencer, but the vast majority of twitch and TikTok influencers are pretty home bound.
