The pinnacle of “living the dream” and “escaping the Matrix” draws those who wish to live a life of luxury. But what lies beneath this luxury?
Does the influencer only show that which is desired and positive? Are they too ignorant to understand the lack of sustainability this could bring?
I have never been one to idolize an influencer. In fact, I pity some of them. Most of the time, these influencers seem to force or dramatize their personality for views and selling the experience. It is almost sad in a way- the inability to be yourself. Because who is going to watch that?
On the other hand, of course influencers force their personality. In a video, short, reel, whatever, it is crucial to keep your audience engaged and keep coming back for more. This is business after all. A lot of sacrifices must be made in order to sell this certain lifestyle. Even if those sacrifices involve you.
