I find it so intriguing that influencers have come to have a greater impact than celebrities.

Yes, i am noticing that trend much more now than ever. Especially with my children.

So do I! All these big influencers being invited to the Met Gala got me all types of messed up. It used to be such an exclusive event and now we have Addison Rae wearing questionable fashion in front of Anna Wintour.

I believe this is fair, though. Celebrities only got to that level because the industry allowed them to, but it's always been based on connections and nepotism. With influencers, about anyone can become famous with engaging content and luck.

Well there's also a big difference with how they got their platforms. Most celebrities have gained their places through nepotism while influencers built themselves from the ground up. Ther are influencers who have pushed me into following them because of views and values we share. Most celebrities I follow just because of the roles they have played.

It irks me to no end how influencers are given so many opportunities just because of their huge following and not because they actually put work into it.

How do they get that following if it's not by putting in work?

Though influencer culture has a lot of issues, I do love that it moves past the nepotism issue so rampant in the entertainment industry.

I have been thinking this for awhile as well.

It genuinely shocks me, because there isn't even a specific type of talent needed for that...just a good photographer!

Exactly! But I do have to give the influencers with actual influence the credit.

IKR! YouTubers are the new celebrities. My little sister and her friends want to be Tik Tokers and YouTubers when they grow up.

I know right? Some of them are not even using their platforms right. Some are so entitled. Like the eff.
