We need 'unfluencers'.
The problem is that it would just be the same few message repeated ad nauseum:
- Treat it all like it's trying to sell you something
- Think for yourself
- Nothing is as simple as it seems
- One person does not represent an entire race/country/group (ie. anecdata is not truth)
etc.
As they say, however, a lie can travel the world twice before the truth has tied its shoe laces.
- wslh 1y agoThere is a critical problem with influencers: once they build a large audience, they often feel compelled to stick to the same message, even if they later realize it's wrong, because influence itself becomes a business and a source of power.
- BLKNSLVR 1y agoI think Unfluencers can be consistent because they're not taking a position. But that also means it's unprofitable, so why do it? Which, in itself, is an interesting commentary on Influencers.
