Last weekend, a social media influencer died in a car accident in central London. The deceased was identified as 32-year-old Klaudia Zakrzewska from Essex, who was involved in a traffic accident on Argyll Street in Soho early Sunday morning.
We offer our condolences, but we can’t help but add a few things. These aren’t just about her; they’re about all internet influencers, or those aspiring to be influencers.
Unfortunately, the social media landscape has created a new type of person: ‘a person who lives for others, not for themselves.’ Social media influencers have begun to lead strange lives. They try to please their followers and live according to their followers’ wishes in order to gain more followers and likes.
The important thing isn’t the programs you create, but gaining new subscribers and getting them to give you likes. To do this, you have to change everything, from your makeup and clothes to the people you support, from your rivals and opponents to your political stance; you have to appear different from who you are. You always have to keep your readers and followers happy, gain new members, and get the best money from advertising revenue. To keep your followers loyal, you have to constantly give them more and new things. Because your followers have millions of alternatives on the internet. To gain more followers, you have to make more compromises with yourself. You have to be careful about everything, even when you’re eating or walking, because your followers are with you.
When you look in the mirror, you don’t see yourself, you see your followers. You are now the person your followers want you to be. A life of lies, lies of words and eyes…
