RE: Are We Too Hard on Travel 'Influencers'?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My sister hates when I do these "conversation traps". I do it in person to see if they are listening, or just plain engaged. It's like I plan out the steps and deliveries of the discourse.
I feel like these Attention-starving 'artists' don't really bring value in and of themselves. They are about as useful as the cup that holds the water of life. Convenient and even necessary sometimes but not useless. They are like catalysts. For me it's like the mainstream influencers are there to make us disgusted and eventually abolish the legacy for something new and unique.
I'm not necessarily saying that YouTubers are idiots. Many of these people show signs of.... being clever?
Why does there have to be a stigma around a different approach? Now, maybe if you were unsuccessful or if you were not so good people and took the same approach but from a bad angle there would be something to talk shit about!
Just sounds envy or some other form of contempt. They are being hard on you (or trying to 😂 ).
I can see why :P Do you also pull her braids?
I honestly think the people moaning about it are just jealous. They're not able to make money from their shit talking and their cowboy 4x4 shenagins so they like to be mean about people who have figured out how to make money from their passions.
I mean, a ton of influencers are dickheads, don't get me wrong. And what's horrifying is that there's a ton of American teenagers who are choosing 'influencer' as their number 1 career choice without realising that you need a heap of others skills other than good looks to compete and actually create something valuable.
No I didn't pull their braids haha!
I don't remember if I read it in a more recent book or maybe it was just a tweet (or maybe an 'x'?) what are they called now?
"I hated when boys would pull my trensas when I was little...
Funny how things change..."
I didn't pull hair, I used my fists 😭
When I got big enough to be a challenge, I discovered I could fight back. Then they were scared. Namely #3
I eventually set down my arms
and instead took up the pen
I was going to say jealousy but opted for the word envy instead because "jealous" sounded more childlike, or as if the matter is not so serious. Or they mean the same thing? I don't think so because we have two different words for them as well...
Maybe I like the word jealous better now. Because that is what these "high profile" "influencers" act like sometimes: children.
Did you make an angry comment on their YouTubes? Lol
Shame on them for unknowingly bashing on their own followers. Like my now president did to a prominent Puerto Rican public figure who formerly supported him. Tisk tisk.
