Well I was referring to the pose, not the character. ^-^ Just pretend it's this guy doing it, then =>
Can you explain this please?
I am SO sorry! It was a typo. I didn't realize that the beginning of my other post was attached to ours. Please forgive me.
I feel sad.
I haven't watched TV for a very long time, so I don't watch those shows. However, one of my friends from years ago was watching Joe Millionaire when I went round to visit. The basic idea is that a bunch of girls compete to be Joe Millionaire's girlfriend or wife. But the kicker is that he's not really a millionaire, he's a construction worker, and the huge and beautiful chateau seen in the show doesn't really belong to him. The tests involve the girls doing some quite menial tasks, such as picking grapes in the chateau vineyard. Some of the girls were bewildered that a millionaire would expect them to do those jobs, while others took it in their stride, and did it all with a smile. It was fun to see him trying to use the tests to work out which girls really liked him, and which girls only had dollar signs in their eyes. If I recall correctly, another of the tests involved the girls firing a steam engine with coal, which is a fantastically dirty job, and an absolute nightmare for any woman who spends hours preening in front of the mirror. I found it all quite amusing, which I'm sure is probably a reliable indicator that I'm evil, and destined to remain single.That's crazy. Reality shows used to be really popular. I watched a few in the early days. We had one along those lines about marrying a millionaire. They gather the worst snippets! Many did it to gain notice before social media took off.
I'd need a wardrobe and lots of jewels of course! And I love Bridgerton.

I don't understand. Do you want to appear on such a show, or produce a show like that?I remember that program. There's always a measure of sensationalism. Most are humiliated to some degree. If I wanted to a reality show I'd have to produce it. I've contemplated something along those lines.

Look at the typical career path of people who appear on Big Brother, or Love Island.
As the saying goes: Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
How many people are truly influenced by so-called influencers, and to what extent? Influenced to change their lives in a meaningful way, or mostly influenced to press a button? I see a lot of clickbait, view counts, and folks getting paid for goofing off. The lines become blurred with content creators, who often work with similar metrics but may not be as well recognized.
How much does a mouse-click truly equate to influence, though? Maybe a lot, or maybe not so much. Who influences the so-called influencers? I don't see much in the way of new ideas or creativity from the typical influencer. Not to knock them for monetizing whatever it is they do. It's cool that they have the opportunity, but there's a difference between real world influence and internet fame. That's what I'm getting at. The two can coexist, of course, but it's not necessarily equivalent or measurable with typical metrics.Influencers are content creators. Their content gets more recognition and engagement. That's why they're influencers.

No, was just lonely.Why? Did you make a decision about the cat?

That avatar pic is the best one you've tried btw
Popularity doesn't require new ideas or creativity. Nor does building a platform. Every message has an audience. You present your position to the people who want to hear it. They interact and share it. That's how influencers are born.
Your issue isn't the influencer. It's society's response. They're not interested in certain subjects. Or there's a problem with the person providing it. They don't connect with them. The Internet is a launchpad for most. They build a following and go on to bigger projects.
Evidently 'influencing' works, or we wouldn't have articles like this one.
Edit: Removed link because there's a picture of her wearing a skimpy top
From the article:
How much does Molly-Mae Hague get paid for Instagram posts?
It has previously been said in a number of reports that she can also earn an eye-watering £10,890 for each sponsored post she shares on Instagram.
She can also charge up to £10,000 for a joint personal appearance with Tommy.
Yes. Society's response, and how the term is used. Admittedly, I'm splitting hairs regarding the definition.
It's already common parlance, but perhaps I attach more weight to the word influence than how it's used in this context. I don't blame the influencers themselves, and I do "follow" several on YouTube and elsewhere. It's mostly stuff that caters to my various hobbies and interests. I tend to think of their content like TV shows. They don't have much of an impact on my life choices or spending patterns.
I am okay. Work keeping me busyThank you. Are you feeling better today?
