FWIW, as a younger person, I have started to see friends (and myself) shift away from influencer culture as it becomes apparent it's unhealthy. When you see so many influencers quit due to mental health, it starts to add up. My perspective is likely skewed by the social groups I tend towards, but the cycle of influencer culture is so short-lived a lot of us do start to catch on.

"In the future, everyone will be famous to fifteen people".

They will become increasingly addicted to that fame, and some will drift into chemicals and porn and tragedy.

It is not my place to judge this, but some will look back and reflect.

Interestingly the first wave of social media influencers started with porn videos and drug problems. It’s a flat circle.

That's a surprisingly eutopian vision when you put it like that.
