    Awww, social media influenzas. The naivite of that 16 year old baby was cute: "to have the passion to do this for the rest of your life". I think she'll end up with a rude awakening at some point if she really believes that to be a life long career.

    As much as I can understand the viewpoint people have that these influencers are narcissists, you can't say that these individuals are entirely superficial and unskilled when they've marketed themselves in such a way that gains them millions of support worldwide - whilst you work a 9 to 5 job, they've cultivated a business for themselves by utilising a daily task (going on phone/hijab)

      Well, enter the domain of high functioning narcissism. They are the most dangerous sub-species of humanity. They are far, far worse than say psychopaths. Psychopaths are chilled and don't need this type of attention unless they were abused maybe. And they can have strong morals, and good human content. Unlike narcissists who are empty vessels searching for recognition just for being who they are and they need tons of that : hence all their viewers ! They need confirmation like cars need gas.
      But as they grow older they become truly dangerous and utterly sick. Talk to victims they'll give you an insight that makes the term 'biblical proportions' melt like snow under the sun. We are talking very, very, very sick.. This can simply not be overstated in any way.

I can’t believe they actually think dancing and doing nothing in front of the camera is hard work. You know what’s hard work? The men that risked their lives back than to build skyscrapers. The women back then who flew planes.

    These so called influencers are users and you are their tool. Wake up people. These influencers are looking for tractable, gullible, weak-minded people who feel incapable of making their own decisions. People who get sucked into what these people are selling need someone else to tell them what to think or how to act. This is not something to be proud of. Be your own person, be an individual, not just another mindless soul emotionally dependent on some user. Wow, has our civilization fallen this low in the evolutionary chain. THINK for yourself. Use your mind. That’s what it’s there for.
