    i feel sorry for gen Alpha when they start working. alot of young people seemed to think being an influencer is thier future, its not as easy as it sounds you need something unique and original, only a small percentage ever make it, and often the most succesful comes from wealthy families. ppl like BEAST, KSI, HASAN come from wealth(despite him pretending to be a lefty tankie, hes part of the bourgeoisie)

      When you hate certain people online but want to wrap that hate in some kind of societal prescription as if we haven’t had wealthy celebrities talking about social issues and infecting kids with brainrot since media began. Gen Alpha is going to be like every previous generation with their own sets of challenges and abilities.

      If you want the influencers to go away, you have to stop baiting people to argue about them, just let them be.

      This isn’t really new, when I was young a lot of kids wanted to be a pro footballer or singer.

        Yes, but that actually requires working on a skill, which is a valuable lesson for kids.

        Being a douche live on a phone doesn’t.
