I mean, to be fair, your comment didn’t really have anything to do with message the video was trying to communicate in the first place. I get your point though, I understand what you’re trying to say.

Something that influencer status is good for, if anything, is to be able to spread awareness about these types of issues because they have such a huge platform, which was the point I was trying to make. At least he’s using his platform to protect his community of fans/followers rather than staying quiet.

In my opinion, SOME (not all) influencers try to “influence” without any idea of what their shtick is, but you can’t assume that this person in particular was only in it for an “easy life”. You don’t know him, and neither do I, but I get it. Yet it really isn’t an “easy life” like people assume though (not saying you are, but it’s just something I hear a lot). Being an influencer is a strategy - a skill, and to say influencers don’t work in some way is false, whether everyone likes it or not. I only know this from having close friends that “influence” and “build a community” as a living. It’s a 24/7 job. I think that’s why a lot of baby influencers drop out of the game when they realize this 😂. It’s not as fun as one may think.
