Tough job? Not when you think about what really drives an 'influencer". It is my opinion these people are driven by an insatiable narcissism that manifests in thinking everyone cares at all what they think. Of course, the truth is a lot of people do in fact care what a few of them think lol. If you really go down the rabbit hole, there are a ton of them that have very few views. It ultimately is just a dance in a small spotlight. ...and probably a tax write-off which is actually kinda nice. I feel bad for most of them. When I was on Starcruiser before it shut down, it was annoying how many vloggers were shooting all the time, everywhere during the experience. At least they were in costume/character. I am on a dozen vlogs somewhere.
I cannot stand 95% of them as they reek of narcissism. The selfie generation all grown up. With the exception of post-surgery wound photos (one of which was my face), I think I have taken maybe.... zero solo selfies my entire life.
A vlog feels like watching someone's full motion selfie to me.
That said, my inner narcissist is probably a little bit jealous. If I were to do one it would be 95% footage, 5% my face
Hypocritically I suppose, I do spend a lot of time watching vlogs for somebody who doesn't like vloggers. For various reasons I like Ben & David (they are travel vloggers), David John (narrowboat vlogger) and some woman named Emma something-or-other (cruise ship vlogger). They don't seem all that into themselves and the footage is not all just of their face.
