A first-of-its-kind law in America will allow child influencers to sue their parents. Young social media stars must now be paid for their appearances in videos for platforms like TikTok and YouTube in the state of Illinois.

A lot of the folks struggling to understand why more #influencers, viral stars, etc, aren't penetrating the #culture in the same way as, say, the Seinfeld gang, are operating under this delusion that we still have a culture to penetrate.
I don't think we do. There's still some glimmer of a mass consciousness around major news events and such, but mostly there's just subcultures and silos and not much else.
Läser om kontextkollapsen i dagens SvD. Det är så mycket jag inte förstår. Jag kan begripa att det finns något spännande och intressant i det kulturella uttrycket. Men jag förstår det inte. Behöver nog skaffa TikTok. Börjar bli läge att skaffa en burner-telefon enkom för att kunna hänga med utan att besudla sina egna flöden allt för mycket.
Roughly twenty-five percent of adult Americans are so authoritarian, fearful, self-righteous, ignorant, and fanatical on the right that they cannot be persuaded. They would force America under a dictatorship, and they’d think things had improved. They are so obedient to their masters that they will accept and carry out any directive. They will not back down, and they will not disappear.
There's a lot of talk about #influencers and how many followers they have on #YouTube and #TikTok. You hear less about how many people are impossible to influence via these services, simply because they don't follow anyone at all.
I'm not a big shopper, so nobody really cares how well they can reach me with #marketing. But I'm also oblivious to a lot of political #propaganda.
One of the nasty consequences of these past years of #devrel rising (along with the #influencers culture) is that too many young/wannabe developers are falling into the trap of pure grift.
I find it really problematic that so many people are buying stars on Github, or followers & likes in social blogging platforms like Devto.
Ultra-basic posts with 2 paragraphs scrapped from official documentation now have more likes & reads than carefully crafted content.
"The expansion of social media and ubiquity of smartphone cameras has had a major impact on tourists’ behaviour ... Indeed, according to my research, increasingly, some tourists go somewhere to be spotted – to be observed by others both online and in person at these destinations."
#AI#Influencers#InfluencerMarketing#Hype: "Like the threat behind crypto’s “have fun staying poor” slogan, AI needs the rest of us to believe in its unstoppable ascendancy because that belief is basically all it has. AI products aren’t about whether anyone wants or needs AI products. They’re about how people could want or need those products, eventually, if everyone stays the course and also keeps pumping money into AI companies. You can call a product bad as long as you immediately point out that obviously it’s going to become good (Brownlee even nods to this in his Humane review, saying that the pin is “the new worst product I’ve ever reviewed in its current state”), because AI products are less products and more promotional tools for the future, for technological advancement, for whatever other big concepts Silicon Valley goons trot out to throw a smokescreen over the barely-functional, largely useless junk they need us to believe is inevitable." https://aftermath.site/humane-ai-marques-brownlee
Influencers have turned social media into a catalogue of fakes and counterfeit goods, according to new research. The ramifications of making such items are incredibly dangerous for factory workers.
Evidently a new thing is dietician influencers on Instagram/TikTok taking money from companies that make unhealthy foods or make unproven supplements and promoting their products. One dietician says she's "pro processed food," and others are telling people it's great to eat ice cream, french fries, candy, and Diet Coke. This is a great example of why I currently dislike Instagram. Gift article: https://wapo.st/3PEQ532 #Food#HealthyEating#Influencers
