It's not my cup of tea either. In fact the word "influencer" kind of makes my skin crawl.

But damn do the successful ones make some serious cabbage and they are pretty much "working" from the moment they wake up until the moment they sleep.
Gen-Z is putting a whole new definition to ‘work’. 5 year old Lego-masters have more useful skills to impart toward the good of mankind…

For all those dudes on here that say Jess Gardner "is not their type" because she is too skinny or whatever.

She's pretty much every other freshman in college that tries hard to look good. Nothing whatsoever that distinguishes her from thousands of other college girls. But if she can make bank off of being good-looking, albeit unexceptional, ok, good for her.

I kind of lost faith in humanity when you have a bunch of dudes (and girls) that recorded themselves playing Minecraft and made millions per year doing it

While I am not a huge Tate fan there is a lot of truth in what he says (some of it)

Ever try being the "nice guy", the guy friend that is always there to help at a drop of a hat...it is a fools game.

Years ago, When I thought that was what worked and what girls wanted, I had this friend, she was a hot girl and of course I played the nice guy bit...trying to win her over. We hung out a lot but it was not progressing, one time she even called me in the morning to pick up her...from some random guy's apt.

After that, I decided to no longer put the ***** on a pedestal and just sort changed my interactions. No more "asking for a date" instead I would just make my plans known and if girls wanted to come, great. The more unavailable I made myself, the more available girls became. And I also discovered that you had to turn things flirty and sexual quickly...or be friend-zoned. And if I got friend-zoned, I would me sure to use that girl to meet her friends.

I am not saying you have to be mean but you can't be a doormat either.

I have a good friend that married "up" and we were out once and she called him or texted him, he basically told her "no" to whatever she was asking about that time and when we started talking after he put his phone down he was like "You have to establish boundaries or they will try to walk all over you".
She's pretty much every other freshman in college that tries hard to look good. Nothing whatsoever that distinguishes her from thousands of other college girls. But if she can make bank off of being good-looking, albeit unexceptional, ok, good for her.
In modern day America, good enough is good enough

What is valuable is constantly changing. While I find the very obvious part of the job very superficial, you basically get up and take pictures of yourself everyday or record yourself playing video games, there’s a lot more that goes into building a brand than just the outwardly easy part of the job.

Folks who do independent work like that are like any other entrepreneur, they have ti understand at least some basic business and marketing skills, taxes and the like. They also probably understand some basic technology components until they are rich enough to hire some of that work done in the case of streamers. It’s like any other business that would sell muffins or grandmas secret recipe at a store front.

Personally I think that a good many jobs people do are not very fulfilling much less less meet the bar of furthering faith in humanity. There are many many people making therapists and pharmaceutical companies very rich because they struggle to find value in what they don for work.

Apologies to any insurance salesman here, but I mean this is a very common, very necessary job, but I would struggle to find anything compelling about that line of work except meeting new people all the time. If meeting new people were my jam, I’d much rather be a streamer with an online community than trying to be State Farm employee of the month. With as many people who hate the insurance institution I’d struggle to think we collectively think of that industry as furthering our faith in humanity.

Why do we work hard?
Because it’s not as simple as playing Minecraft on a video capture card and making millions.

You and I have the same access as those guys, yet we’d almost certainly not make it.

Except that the state farm employee actually can provide some tangible value in the form of safety and peace of mind, which I would argue means a great deal more to society than scantily dressed not-fat chick and dudes, although I appreciate the fattys on this site that are hard-up would disagree.

Influencer isn’t as sketch as it sounds though I’m in your general camp on the word choice.

A generation ago companies paid a lot of money to marketing firms for marketing firms to tell producers you need Michael Jordan to hawk your shoes and that’s how you move product. I think most of us find this obvious. This was “noble”, acceptable and highly paid work.

Influencers basically optimized this process by cutting out the middle man. Companies pay influencers to move products, and influencers figure out how and also double as the celebrity.

Arguing that society doesn’t need luxury goods or entertainment, which is ultimately what industry influencers are in, is basically folly.

We are a very materialistic economy. Edit: the conclusion here is that people find value in this sector.

Yeah, didn't say that. I do find it funny that staring at a picture of someone is a luxury good or entertainment, but sure, if fattys get their rocks off at the sight of someone, I guess that can lead to a sort of personal, intimate, entertainment for them.

Are you claiming that only fat people look at attractive women?

I think what you are seeing is that some people hate that pretty people tend to have an easy life...

Of course now you will get the "She is okay, my wife is hotter" posts and "She is not my cup of tea" posts.

But those are the same guys that bench 315, run a 4.4 40 yard dash and won a state championship on their Class C football team.

I think what your seeing is the internet....

If I made a comment that I didn't think so and so was that hot to the guys at work then they would just laugh for 5 minutes straight and then walk away.

you're responding to a guy who flies to 3rd world countries to find girls who just happen to be in a place at a time (actual sex trafficking)

he should be on many watch lists at this point

absolute loser
Ok, what have I missed with the NewNU?

Is he NikkiSix like? We talking he flies to Bangcock type places to bang girls?

He never responded to your post so inquiring minds want to know.

Lastly this off-season has been great as we have a real coaching staff again and I've learned there are some absolute horrible human beings on this board. Lol.

Just seems a very, very small % of these genZ kids are learning anything remotely beneficial to surviving this current environment. They’ll be amongst the first to fail when the **** hits the fan…

....difference being today's 'influencers' are largely uneducated, and have zero life-skills outside of typing 200wpm with their thumbs and taking really sweet 'selfies'. They'd be worthless to society outside of some woke CEOs wanting to empower some trash GenZ dipshit.

Most posters here would not even know how to go up and talk to a girl like her while they were in college.
