Swipe Up For More!: Inside the Unfiltered Lives of Influencers by Stephanie McNeal
2.0
I was hoping for a gritty story about the truth behind the lives of influencers because it showed up as a recommendation connected to "Hey, Hun." Nope. It glorifies the people the author envies. She's supposed to be a journalist, but she was far from objective. She GUSHES over these people that she idolizes.
Something that bugs me is that the author says that many people discount influencers as not having real jobs and not mattering, but then she goes on to discount the skinny, "perfect" influencers as being vapid, etc. Biased much?
Let me tell you the REAL problem that people have with so-called influencers. The ones that come across my laptop are the ones who are entitled and expect things because they think they are important. The ones who set up cameras at the entrance of a busy building so they can film their family walking in, never mind all the people behind them who may not want to be in the shots. And how damaging influencers have been to our culture. How many "challenges" have to kill kids before enough is enough?
Anywhoo. I read the book. It is a light read.
