Why does everyone want to be an influencer now?

Why does everyone want to be an influencer? There is a shift in career aspirations among younger generations, with a significant preference for becoming influencers or YouTubers over traditional jobs. I explore the changing job market, including automation's impact on jobs like trucking and the rise of remote work and the gig economy. I question if we should see content creation and consider it a legitimate career path and major, even while addressing the saturation in the field, the illusion of glamour versus the reality of exploitation, and the societal implications of these shifts. It concludes by pondering the sustainability of relying on social media platforms for income and the broader effects of these trends on employment and societal values. It is 100% a way of new business, but it comes at a cost. What do you think about the future of work?
Thank you again for watching I appreciate all the love and support! See you all next time for another video.

Another thing is that there are so many “influencers” now that algorithms are becoming so repetitive/ predictable. Also there is so many influencers that keep doing advertising and it’s so annoying :/
