Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #influencerculture, aggregated by home.social.
"creator" is a strange term. in one sense I like it because it points to the web as our universal distribution platform and maybe even that fedi could be the universal attention allocation system.
what I don't like is that it probably makes most people think of those online personalities who work their asses off to make the corporate platform algos love them in order to better push people to buy stuff using ephemeral "content" than create great works of art or journalism.
Every Formula Begins with an Assumption
Every spreadsheet begins with an assumption—but the best ones quietly make you forget that. In this exclusive guest post, personal finance influencer Miles Spreadsheet reveals the six-step framework behind every astonishing financial comparison. The Ministry has reviewed the methodology and can confirm that the formulas are mathematically correct. The assumptions, however, remain under active investigation.https://satiregpt.wordpress.com/2026/08/07/every-formula-begins-with-an-assumption/
The late #OmMalik :
“ #Socialmedia gave us tools to edit our lives into a highlight reel. Photos of coffee, food, selfies from places you couldn’t afford last year, some pithy comment. It was all one directional. A movie about me, by me, for me to broadcast and you to watch. This is what led to the rise of #influencerculture, where anything and everything was for sale. The self first became a gallery, then a reel. It was all passive, beautiful, controlled and #fake.”

"Influencers," or worse, influencers posing as "professionals" have this really nasty habit of speaking in the most generic, generalized, vague terms possible… because they want to cast a wide net with their "reach"… and then getting pissy mad when you fill in the blanks THEY LEFT with your own personal experience.
They should follow the dictum for songwriting: the more specific and detailed, the truer it rings.
But hey, we all know they welcome the pushback - and may be DELIBERATELY obtuse - just because it boosts their "numbers" or what the fuck ever.
But goddamn. This is Communication 101 - coming from someone who's autistic! If you REALLY want to CONNECT with people, making massively accusatory statements WITHOUT CLARIFYING DETAILS is a GREAT way to be MISUNDERSTOOD.
But they don't care. It's engagement farming. And I fall for it and get duly yelled at for "projecting" every damn time. WELL WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A BLANK SCREEN OTHER THAN PROJECT. HUH? FUCK YOU.

Crystal Abidin coined “calibrated amateurism”—the performance of authenticity.
The illusion of mess. The curated “raw.”
I’ve been writing about this too, in different words. About how we’ve lost the real in all the acting real.
We don’t need more masks. We need mirrors.
YES. I am not alone.
WE are not alone.
We can find truth together.

"#Kennedy’s rise is one symptom of a cultural realignment that has merged hippie-coded New Age #WellnessFads with right-wing conspiracy thinking. Whether we call it the 'crunchy-to-#AltRight-pipeline' or, as I have, 'lifestyle fascism,' the politicization of consumer health choices has had dangerous knock-on effects, from lowering rates of vaccination to decreasing public trust in medical expertise."
