Should I pin this because I agree😭 patiently waiting for my moment, but so grateful for all that’s already been built!!!

someone had to say it consistently good content 🤚🏽

right? i’m still shocked every time i see the view count

Agreeeeed

@@ToniBryanneTV PIN ITTTT it’s speaking facts

Totally!!!

saaaame

yeah. all their doing is photoshoots, promoting products, and getting surgeries. when you’re forced into your home and to wear a mask for a long period of time and your health and finances take a hit- while the influencers were partying and still selling products. we don’t relate to them. and we know their actual reality so many are no longer “envious”

Thissss 🎯🎯

Every single GRWM today: Waking up with perfect hair, big stretch in front of some big ass window Breakfast(usually consists of avocado toast, smoothie, or something that can be eaten by a squirrel) A workout in a matching pastel colored outfit Writing in a journal/ typing on a computer Some random errand, insert a dog a cat or a boyfriend

Also, lol I don’t wana watch someone’s life. I know how life works because I have my own lol.

@@yougotgamesonyourphone6947 LOLLL this is very true tho. I love your humor 😂

@@tashakayden2434 yeah like i like when ppl show them getting ready to go to like an event or something doing their hair and stuff but like idc about you doing all this for nothing

@Stephanie Slayer get ready w me

This is so true😭

Had the same thoughts when I was entering middle school so i was 10 and i'm 24 now.. so nothing had really changed imo

@@Cha_t yeah I agree, there has and will always be trends

Honestly I think this is the one time in life where I think people are starting to look different cuz of fashion niches on the internet. I’ll be at my airport in my city and see a bunch of different styles on young people, it’s interesting. If anything I think trends will always be there and there will always be groups of people that look alike, but I’ve noticed there’s just more trends now and more little communities that follow them. I think it’s interesting because mass media used to control the trends now it’s the internet, so I see wayyy more diverse styles

Social media.. That's your answer..

100%

"New age home shopping network" yes!

Beauty youtube really was QVC for millenials back in 2014-2019.

Same here and I just turned 22😭 I just haven’t cared to see anything College related since I got that degree in my hand😂

There's influencers at every age level.

Older people should start making lifestyle videos.

​@ToniBryanneTV you speak so eloquently, I would think you're older! Respectfully. I admire how smart you are at 22

I love this SO much. We are dealing with so much in our society it sucks so much. We are just laughed at by these people simply for being an actual human being with real problems

Giiiirrrrllll you ate this up !!!🤌🏽 📍

Yup and looks don’t matter as much as they once used to. With content like this, you don’t have to be “conventionally attractive” to be successful

@@ToniBryanneTV and we love it !

i deleted mine for this exact reason

Hyper saturation causes ppl to go numb and everything becomes meaningless. It’s time for a collective detox from influencers

So true ❤

I’ll be honest, I started looking down on myself because I wasn’t living the same lifestyle as these lifestyle influencers. This video just confirmed that I can make it by being average. In other words, myself.

Beige life is such an accurate description… I’ve become so sick of it😭

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s the manifest part that gets me😂😂😂😂

SHE GOT 100K YALL

I agree but I don’t think they had as much reach or popularity

@@London2231 yeah definitely, and when youtube came along and seeing everyone blowing up on there, i could see why they suddenly switched

Very true - I’m 30 and I can remember these people being the original. No one may remember if they’re younger but MySpace and bebo did kick it all off!

I disagree - Jeffree star has thrived since then. But they were the originals it’s just that a lot of people who are younger online won’t remember and older people who do aren’t as bothered about the Internet.

@@London2231 Depends on if you're looking at numbers or percentages. 100% of people on Myspace knew who Tila Tequila was. But the number of people using the platform was far smaller than Instagram or KZfaq today.

Same thing for NYC

@@That_girlAaliyah02 yep! I actually know people who live outside of their means just to appear a certain type of way for social media…never understood it. It’s always given fake and not relatable.

@@naturalnaela mainly the people who lived there their whole lives can barely afford it because those “influencers” are moving there.

@@That_girlAaliyah02 All la natives I know including myself all live with their family members that live in the city of la because it’s so expensive to live on your own. My friends from nyc that are natives tell me the same that they live with family. It’s really sad how we can’t even afford to live where we grew up because transplants are driving up the prices with this “fake lifestyle”😞

@@That_girlAaliyah02 this! Like I grew up here and have memories here and can’t afford it…bc y’all coming here for aesthetics and iced matcha 😭😭😭 pls ✋🏾

THISSSS!! Being 10-11 and coming to terms my sexuality I would BINGE buzzfeed and Shane Dawson {cringe} and it made it seem like I "wasn't like other boys" and it made me realize how much yt gays influencers have this sense of superiority for being "different" and it was real quik when i realized the "token poc" is PREVELENT ASFK

That’s sooo true ❤

I’m no longer in high school but I saw this starting to happen 7 years ago when I was. I feel like culturally a lot of people have shifted towards aesthetics rather than subcultures, like “insert whatever-Core.” It’s honestly unnerving to see this happening. I think people have lost a lot of the substance that they gain by being part of a subculture and they have moved into more individualistic pursuits. People are still as multi faceted as ever but if groups are mainly focused on aesthetic and image you are living a one dimensional existence in the public space, living for others perceptions. I think the internet unfortunately at this moment has made the focus on image more dominant than ever. There are still subcultures out there, I’m a part of the rave scene, and I think once you leave high school it gets easier to find your people. For me in high school it was “tumblr kids” but we weren’t all consumed by the internet just yet, according to what I’ve observed by listening to younger people. I’m wishing you luck in finding your people, they’re out there and it’s not all about appearance for everyone, shit just gets easier after high school

Dear Damon, talk to your principal and give a speech on the importance of REAL communities and friends and the importance of starting clubs relavent to your generation. The pandemic also shut everything down. Everyone is used to living through a screen and Many people are lonely. You will meet tons of cool people. Promise. Join groups of your passions or be a trend setter and start one!

@Stephanie Slayer Happy early birthday girl!!💗💗

Add 2013,too,then it went downhill after.

I felt this! Having the hardest time on my channel bc I'm not going with what the trends are or sexually exploiting myself

Right and also this is the whole point of influencing to get people to buy what you are buying…so ofc people are going to have similar/the same things or people are creating the same content if they see that’s what’s getting the most views. As the audience we chose who we watch these influencers become not relatable from people watching and continuing to put money in their pockets….

Very true

algorithm too

Asian influencers are on the rise but black girls still are skipped on...same with south Asian girls.

I agree

I was thinking the same

Yes but genz kind of got it weird eventually with that influencer house show and all these trixies and dmelos. It was just really weird.

That's true

Thank you so much! That means a lot🥹❤️

Good luck ❤

@@khadyadjisall5708 thank you!

Congratulations on that ❤🎉

interesting observation, but I am changing my career from studying economics and working in banking into marketing! influencers and digital marketing truly are not going anywhere and is set to grow. I remember 10 years when people on social media first started to make money, nobody thought that would last and look at us now! I agree with you that it is not something worth studying but companies are only seeing potential in influencers!

@@suhanaahmed4960 oh of course I agree, I just personally don’t care to work in the field so closely anymore. I’d love to actually challenge myself & help people in the medical field. Best of luck to you tho darling!

I think that stores are realizing that influencers cant vlog places that have copyrighted music so now they are playing it loudly in stores to keep them from recording inside. I never heard music playing in Target until recently! I guess we are going to see alot of montage videos 😂

Yes, we are missing the authenticity.

Keep going. Stay authentic.

Omggg I’m so glad you enjoy 🥹❤️

@@ToniBryanneTV 💕💕💕💕

A corpse has more personality than Kylie..

Waitttt I though she was in her early 30’s😭

@@Saditty riiight?? sometimes I feel like these “influencers” lie about their age tbh

omg i was thinking she was a 35 year old mom

@@dreamkitty she sounds like one! 😭😭 all them lip fillers

@@elenam3798 lmfaooo😭 also you are so pretty girl

Yes lol starting off with MySpace to Facebook, but I didn’t get my first social media account until about 2012 which was Instagram
