I’ve been online for a long time, am I an old curmudgeon who thinks “influencing” isn’t a meaningful profession? Not too long ago people made videos and shared it for fun, to give back to the world. Not to take in profit.

Many of these people have used and abused their audience, accepting sponsorships from unscrupulous companies like BetterHelp, and portray a way of life that isn’t realistic.

Social media is harmful, I suspect we will look back at it one day and realize it’s the source of a mental health epidemic.
