We Don’t Need Influencers on Reality TV

It's no secret that social media has been a huge factor in the disintegration of society. It is a cesspool of everything wrong with society, from alt-right political propaganda to misleading advertising to emboldening the wrong people who get catapulted to fame. Influencers are a huge factor in why social media is so toxic, and they are worse than nepo babies when it comes to getting recognized for marginal talent at best. Creativity is eclipsed by follower counts, and now culture is crumbling to something more soulless and hollow, as clout chasers who have little charisma and actual style (dis)grace red carpets and runways. The disintegration of morality, mental health, and culture is obviously harrowing, but worst of all, influencers are ruining reality television, and it's time to talk about it.
