Description

There was a time when being an influencer was the dream. The most aspirational career a young person could have. Millions of followers, brand deals, free trips, a lifestyle that looked like everything. Then Gen Z started paying attention. To the entitlement. To the performative vulnerability. To the gap between the lifestyle being sold and the financial reality of the people buying into it. To the authenticity that turned out to be a content strategy. The influencer era didn't end with one scandal. It ended with a generation that grew up inside the content and eventually learned to see right through it. We break it all down in this video. Every issue. One by one.
