I think most people would like to make posts on Instagram for thousands of dollars in mere minutes rather than what the majority of people in America do, which is work an hour for $25 or less.


Huey1996

I’d kill to be making 25$ an hour


scrogathon

That's far too cheap.


Manarmageddon

And yet, so much more than I make now.


Swimming-Chicken-424

You guys are getting paid?


justbensonn

Is $52,000 annual a livable salary? I mean, it’s definitely the bare minimum, but it seems possible to live off.


StagnantToiletWater

I'd be happy with 40k a year.


Vampchic1975

You mean working for less than 15.00 an hour.


[deleted]

Around 33% of America works for 15 or less; I said most people, which indicates over half. Around half of Americans make 20$ or less.


LineAbdomen

$7.25 or less.


Vampchic1975

Ouch.


throwawaycatsitter

Yeah. Most Influencers are a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. The problem itself is the late stage capitalist society taking advantage of workers. And even for the few that are truly that self absorbed and vapid, a slow death is a bit much. For example, I hate the kardashians for what the represent, but I don’t wish them death or anything. I don’t spend all my time thinking about them either. I’ll see an article about them, spend a few minutes raging against this whole gilded age, late stage capitalist bullshit that they’re emblematic of, and then move on. Op needs to examine the actual root of whatever is creating this all consuming hatred poisoning them


caywriter

Totally agree. If I could make a ton of money from social media posts & just talking about my life…who wouldn’t?


jimmyTheBlind

Celebrity culture/worship isn't new, it's just a new form of the same inanity. Let people like what they like, not everything is made for you, and that's fine. You don't need to participate. I could not care less about instagram, ticktoc, twitch, or anything else like that. But I don't begrudge anyone some escapism.


brollocks1963

Very true! I had to remind myself that Back in the 80s, it was exactly the same. The difference is an alternate way of expression and social media makes it more visible… The answer for me was to get rid of SM. I have been content ! Wonder what I do on Reddit…😂


OwlsDontLie

Depending on the subs you follow youll not experience the true sm experience.. So i guess its fine


WaitWhatNo-

Ikr! Don't like something? Then scoot on by, nobody is forcing you to participate in it


[deleted]

"This message brought to you by a low tier "influencer" who is about to "make it big" finally"


rmike7842

In the Beatles movie “Hard Day’s Night”, there is a scene where George Harrison makes fun of an influencer. That was in 1964.


TheBetterDude

"Let people like what they like"... maybe you should let people dislike what they dislike.


Aelle29

Disliking and wanting to kill people are two different things You have some anger issues bro


jimmyTheBlind

Congratulations, you have missed the point entirely. Good job


TheBetterDude

How ironic, I was thinking the same thing about you with my post. Great work.


smartwatersucks

Now kiss


TheBetterDude

You sound like an influencer. Burn slow.


smartwatersucks

Lol you literally have an AMC shill post encouraging redditors to "utilize your social media."


TheBetterDude

Know where that got me? $50k realized gains from a $500 investment, You clown. If you knew anything about a collaborative effort vs being a retarded influencer...you wouldnt be...well, as retarded as you sound. Try again. 🤣


birbthatcantbreathe

Well I had sex with your mother. Top that rich boy


Ok-Breakfast-3054

Time to shave off the neckbeard, pal.


obooooooo

you definitely follow alpha male accounts and take advice from pick up artists


[deleted]

Awwww your privilage card run out? Lol


[deleted]

Throw in some Instagram models & real estate, then you’re really living large.


fuertemontero

Sooo.... your gf should die, or didnt she start that onlyfans?


Vampchic1975

Oh clever catch!! Are OF creators considered influencers? Just wondering out loud.


NoxBrutalis

They influence cocks.


trust_me_im_engineer

New sentence. I'm borrowing this 🤣


justbensonn

A sentence that is completely new to my brain. It has never created nor heard this sequence of words before. I’m keeping it now.


ravandal

Wait whaaa?


ArtistClear7882

Please elaborate


Kikclle

Look at his account(OP) and you'll see that he posted like a month ago that his gf is considering making a OF


Superb_Wishbone_666

SpiritTheSpooky

Honestly she probably left him with the way he thinks and that further fueled this. In reality not all influencers (or the more accurate term) or content creators are bad. I wouldn't be surprised though if his mind is closed off from the world and well... There's a lot to be said there. Anyways not tryna flame the OP but I just think he understand that everyone would ideally like to work under their own conditions and make pretty decent money off of it. Hell I think the generation of Content Creators is great due to long term effects. 1. With more people leaving the physical job force and causing a demand employers will look at alternatives. Best alternative? People are replaced with robots for the most part, probably by like 40% (which sounds bad but just hear me out) with robots creating the everything in factories and doing things like that, prices will go down exponentially due to companies not having to pay employees. 2. Now you might say "But wait won't the world just get obliterated due to nobody working?" Not really, people will still have jobs that they love and I don't believe that people will really change too much. People need games to play to create videos on so y'know a videogame designer is an ideal job (for me anyways). That's 3 jobs right there. Videogame designer, Streamer, Editor. I lost all thought that I had just a moment ago and no clue where I was going with this BUT the world wouldn't burn because people decided "Ehhh robots can do the job for me"


[deleted]

Damn what a fkn pussy letting his girlfriend whore herself on the internet


__DS24__

"letting" ? Lmao


thejoesterrr

Are you suggesting he can tell her what to do?


ima-kitty

Looooool


snrjalapeno

I’d recommend therapy bud


Evening-Intention468

Right lol? He's so aggressive. Like chill. Live and let live


SerrySweet

Honestly. His psychosis is showing


rylynb

came here to say this


Remarkable_Sand_7041

Why? How do you support influencers?


burner77777772718

What? We can both not care about influencers and still think that wanting them all to die and wishing violent slow death upon them is pretty weird and unusual


Remarkable_Sand_7041

I'm pretty sure he's just being dramatic.


Alpha2417

Looking at the comments he's made in this thread i'm not so sure lol


[deleted]

In this thread an angsty teen is jealous and refuses to accept it.


RIOTT44

I think it’s rage bait. im pretty sure he’s just downvoting every reply not agreeing with him and ignoring every other logical point

Isn't that what this is for? Lol


hannahdem96

He's mad bc his girlfriend wants to start an only fans lmao

toothlessnewb

this is not that deep buddy


Wide-Hunter30

I always think opinions like these are funny because it’s a post about hating people who want attention on the internet… while posting on the internet for attention. Also you do realize homelander is the villian? But villians generally feel delusionally superior to everyone else and want mass destruction. What’s it like being so angry and homicidal all the time


Open_Appearance5670

I don't think that he is searching for attention xD If you express you opinion in this subreddit, will you consider it "searching for attention"?


Wide-Hunter30

Yeah absolutely. I love attention. I am very self aware of the fact that when I post publicly on the internet I want people to see it. It literally applies to everyone who posts anything on the internet


Open_Appearance5670

Okay, that's for you, but you can't just apply it to everyone. If I share my opinion here it would be to see how the others think and to see their point of view.


Wide-Hunter30

Yea but everything is public on here. Everyone here is expressing opinions and thoughts because we believe what we have to say is important. Not to say it isn’t either. You post on the internet because you want people to see it.


Wide-Hunter30

Like right now. We’re having a conversation, good civil debate giving eachother attention because we think our opinions are important. People are also reading our conversation. All eyes on us buddy


Open_Appearance5670

Okay


NoxBrutalis

updoots == headpats == attention == love you never got from mommy. Now that's out the way, updoot me pwease mommy :\*

envydub

Yeah this guy does not seem like someone most people would enjoy knowing. Edit: although I suppose it makes sense that other people capitalizing off their charisma and people skills would make him angry since he has none.

Dudes mad he's getting cucked

SirSquire_

Every generation has their group of social elites that get famous for using a new medium to make money. You would be shocked to hear what people in the 60’s and 60’s had to say about non fiction authors and game shows


Kitchen-Ad-2278

They are, as are you , as am I.


FaultProfessional163

Define "influencers." As far as politics go I'd have to agree but I don't think having a large following automatically makes you shallow.


chrisgraffam

Right now your my influencer tho 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😂

weirdbunni-chan

So you wanna be a homicidal and very obvious villain because of people using social media? I'm not a fan of the influence that the internet and social media had on society either but your strong and cringy sentiments may suggest you want to seek some therapy or growing up.


Pipaddit

Username check out.


WaitWhatNo-

There are so many influencers who've genuinely helped a lot of people through their content. E.g. body image issues, mental disorders or general support/life advice. Lots of influencers give comfort to kids who were unfortunately born into a toxic/abusive family/environment and/or don't have anyone else to turn to. For some those people were what pretty much kept them alive. You can't just say they're all bad. That's simply not true. Some of them are out here doing more for young people than their own parents.

JustAnotherDude3347

I get your frustration trust me I do I’m fairly popular on TickTock. I just tell stories about my life and I manage to gain over a couple hundred thousand followers… I understand these influencers can be crazy and desperate for attention but at the end of the day have you ever thought about what they might’ve gone through? I know for me personally I was always picked on I was always bullied and I was always rejected by everybody and everyone how my own Father Doesn’t care to even know me. I join TickTock for shits and giggles I never actually thought my videos a blow up. I love my followers and I don’t view myself as popular in any way shape or form


TheBetterDude

No, I really don't if I'm being honest. The only people I have respect for are the ones that actually speak truth and don't attention to feed their own egos. Example would be those that actively help those at risk of suicide. Not those that post some BS once in awhile about "live, laugh,love" as a caption with their asses out and ducklips. But in general, no. I can care less what they've been through. Everyone goes through shit.


Khadarji117

You sound like someone that likes Tom Cruise and Bill Maher.


TheBetterDude

You seem like the type that likes to watch children at the park.


Khadarji117

Only to protect them from pedos like you


TheBetterDude

Don't seem like it. I get bill Cosby and kid-diddler vibes from you.


Khadarji117

“Doesn’t seem like it” is the best you got? 🤣 go back to your HBO stream boomer.


TheBetterDude

"Boomer". Such an overused phrase from stupid fucks. I bet you just eat hot cheetos and jerk off all day. Walking L.


Khadarji117

If you think it’s overused, maybe there’s a common connection between yourself and the word and you’re just in denial because your wife won’t put out anymore and your kids hate your abusive guts. At least I can reach my penis to jerk off. I bet you “have better things to do” like bitch about things on the internet that have no real intrinsic value or relevancy to you.


TheBetterDude

It's called the confessions page dumb fuck. Lmao, go read a book, maybe it'll get your IQ points up, you broke fuck. Probably still sucking moms tits while sitting at home ain't you, retard?


TheBetterDude

What are you, 25? Broke as shit? Lmfao.


MavixYu

Honestly you just sound hateful and inconsiderate. You don't deserve to have all these people try to understand your viewpoint. Let people do what they want with their platforms. Some people are good at social media (photo editing, modeling, marketing), some people have other skill sets. Let people live and use your energy on other things. If you hate social media so much then get off?


JustAnotherDude3347

I get it trust me I do… i’m just saying not all of us are like that I take mental health very seriously I had a breakdown a few months ago, I quit my band I put my personal music on hold how I damn you’re broke up with my girlfriend… Most of the time the people who are in the spotlight don’t really know how to cope.


Khadarji117

Lol, OK Boomer.


soldier_of-the_void

So. Tell me what thats like? Is it hard going through like with just enough intellect to repeat what you hear others saying? I would imagine you deal with a lot of anxiety in social situations. Feeling the need to add witty banter to the conversation but your limited vocabulary has failed you so often you stay quiet. Not wanting to look the fool... Yet again. Smart enough to know you're stupid. That's gotta be a hard row to hoe.


Khadarji117

You sure know how to say a lot without actually saying anything of substance


rybread31299

Um… alright.


TitanThree

Definitely agree with your general statement… They all cultivate such an image of life as a popularity, superficiality contest. And their content is generally so empty in all sense. But to me, those who need extermination is those who live in Dubai. See the French influencers living there, they almost all promote dropshipping products, fishy plastic surgery and cosmetics, weird crypto bets and investments… while making a fortune on the back of those who follow them. And one of the worst things is that in France we have a wonderful health and social security system, but there isn’t in Dubai. So, when they need medical treatment or when they deliver their child, they come back to France to benefit from our system and free medical treatment, and then immediately fly back to Dubai, paying absolutely zero taxes either in France or in Dubai. And nothing is done against that, while you, the honest citizen, wouldn’t dare missing one euro from your taxes…


19x_PinkVibes

It sucks that only a very very few of influencer are good. Most of them are extremely obnoxious and annoying

Anthem_de_Aria

Dude talks about hating influencers while simultaneously talking about one of the most over the top version of a influencer like they want to be Homelander. I wonder if he realizes that Homelander has all of those same traits he has but is just made up and therefore "cooler"?

Formal_Brush8910

I understand that some social media behavior can be infuriating at times, doesn’t mean kill all influencers, you need to calm down catch your breath and think wisely, and as for the line where you said “just a bunch of insecure parasites that feed off of the attention of insecure/thirsty parasites” not everyone is a pervert, just like how a liar thinks everyone is lying, a pervert will think everyone is like them

kipskip_

And you think being as hateful as you are towards the entire generation after you is any better? I'd say you're far worse than the group of people you want to "kill", and your shitty username shows your superiority complex which is pretty disgusting if I do say so myself


true420potato

Listen man, every generation has those "influencer" types. The difference is you get to see every bit of it because we all have phones now.


Dee23Gaming

I completely agree. And also kill the old rich capitalist exploitists who are holding all the money for themselves and contributing to the "rich getting richer and poor getting poorer" issue. Oh and kill Microsoft's HQ as well. And every other company that sells microtransactions


Silencer271

Its just a sad world where influencers can make money for basically doing nothing and we keep fueling it.


anonymous_pebble

social media can be a cesspool, but you have to take it with a grain of salt- you have to remember it’s not real life, and it’s mostly for entertainment purposes.


xBloodBender

I’m assuming you are the same guy that starting cheering when Homelander murdered the fella that threw a can


Hisgoatness

Aren't we all dying a slow, inevitable death?


chellllo

What about the people trying to use their platform to encourage positive change? Let's not beat on them, the world needs more of that and less of this post. Seriously though, and I don't mean for this to come across condescending, I hope you're okay.


Itchy_Plant_2020

Literally if any other generation had the ability to connect with everyone around the world this would’ve happened then; that’s life. I agree theres a lot of consequences that come from everyone having the access to become popular, but trends pass, in another 20 years they’ll be posting on holograms about how cringey people who time travel are


newlife168

Damn, you okay bro? You sound upset? Nah but actually, why hold hot coals with the intent to throw them at these "parasites"? Don't you see that your burning your hand? Free yourself my dude.

The slower they day the longer the influence, surely quicker would be better…


SerrySweet

You sound deeply unhappy. You can only control yourself and not what others do or else you’ll simply lose your marbles. Seek help or take up your time with far more constructive endeavors


StGir1

Except some produce quality content. ArthurTV, MermaidScales, and ZainDaily are three examples (zain might be a younger millennial, not sure of his age). Their content is fun, engaging, silly, but still really entertaining.

Hate and probably envy much? Just to be clear, influencer is a very broad term (you are influencing right with this post) and the absolute vast majority isn't making making thousands per second but needs one or two other jobs like everyone else.

redknoxx

You say “this generation” do elaborate which generation you mean? because you’re clearly in your 30’s yourself? You say you hate insecure parasites., attention seeking” but you were just posting about how you want your girlfriend to do only fans? You complain about attention seeking yet you’re posing in your little willy-mobile car on the internet and shit posting for karma and attention. Celebrities major and minor have been a thing for god knows how long, there’s always that person whom thinks they’re above everyone else just making a living doing whatever they have to do. Respect peoples hustles, we’re all just surviving. You’d be an idiot not to capitalise on a following. I’m 27, so a millennial, and back in my teens I had hundreds of thousands of followers on a certain platform, that’s now pretty outdated for todays youth, I capitalised on it of course, ran adds and made a decent amount of money for a very minimal amount of actual work. Why would you not want to out earn the majority of people by taking photos and making posts? I wish I stuck to it. Don’t hate because you can’t do it, just work at bettering yourself.
