I wrote my book, Scientifical Americans, before the age of "Influencers" but the "scientifical" aspect expanded through the success of many social media accounts. Social media #influencers often are not trained experts in the areas they are speaking. They are performing knowledge they get from somewhere (often paid to promote a brand). They make it sound sciencey to be convincing. You buy the product, they get a kickback. 1/2

One piece of connective tissue between the right and wellness #influencers we cover is their liberal use of the language of #CivlRights to describe their completely incomparable #grievances.

putin’s Influencers: The #bloggers selling russia’s War

russian pro-war #influencers are generating big advertising revenues from their #socialmedia coverage of the conflict - BBC’s Global #Disinformation Team

Known in russia as “Z Bloggers”, they spread fake news about the war by embedding with military units, sharing exclusive footage from the frontline, and calling upon young russians to enlist in the army

Do #youtubers think they’re being clever when they ask you a question to answer in the comments? Like, we all know they’re fishing for interactions to feed the algorithm and have zero interest in what you have to say.

I hate #YouTube so much.

@laurenshof "A Pew Research Center study found TikTok is where almost a quarter of US adults under 30 now regularly get their news. Another recent study found that influencers are overtaking journalists as the primary news source for young people, with audiences preferring to get their news from “personalities” like celebrities and influencers rather than mainstream news outlets or journalists.

A Swiss hotel’s infinity pool became world-famous. Was it luck, or skillful use of influencers?

A viral video of the Alpine pool at the Villa Honegg in central Switzerland has brought the luxury hotel international fame and a full house. Behind the good fortune is a well-managed strategy.

Can't wait until #influencers and #youtube stars start leaving their mark

Dagens WTF

Läser om kontextkollapsen i dagens SvD. Det är så mycket jag inte förstår. Jag kan begripa att det finns något spännande och intressant i det kulturella uttrycket. Men jag förstår det inte. Behöver nog skaffa TikTok. Börjar bli läge att skaffa en burner-telefon enkom för att kunna hänga med utan att besluta sina egna flöden allt för mycket.

A lot of the folks struggling to understand why more #influencers, viral stars, etc, aren't penetrating the #culture in the same way as, say, the Seinfeld gang, are operating under this delusion that we still have a culture to penetrate.

I don't think we do. There's still some glimmer of a mass consciousness around major news events and such, but mostly there's just subcultures and silos and not much else.
