Ugh
The “out of touch” rant made me sad. I feel as if Ty and jaci both just completely missed the point and we’re defensive. People aren’t mad that influencers are paid a lot of money, we aren’t mad at the brands for paying y’all your rates. I think average people are generally just not looking to consume content of people complaining about their job. It would be like a doctor walking in a room and complaining about their job in front of their patient. Even if you aren’t the patient the doctor is complaining about it still feels icky. Or walking into a store to buy a shirt and the cashier complaining the entire time about annoying customers. It just doesn’t feel good. Especially when you are there to support the business. Not all of us who consume influencer content think badly of influencers. I actually do think being an influencer is a real job and having complaints is so valid. But you are complaining to their wrong audience. Us as listeners are not influencers and cannot relate to what your unique struggles of an influencer are, so my advice would be to just keep it offline. Another problem is your complaining to the people who consume and LIKE your content. I think people get frustrated because influencers always want their job to be taken seriously, but if you are running a business you would not take to your social media and complain about the consumers who support your business. You would definitely have those feelings but you wouldn’t put them out there for your customers to hear/see. It’s the same thing here. Your going to have bad apples in the mix always, but the dedicating a whole segment to go off about the bad apples is just gross when the vast majority of people who are listening to this are the people who support you. Your complaining about your job, while doing your job? The complaining is taking away from creating content. That’s the part that rubs people wrong. And it seems like every influencer eventually does this and it puts a bad taste in their supporters mouth and y’all just chop it up to people “being sensitive” about the topic. I’m writing all of this to maybe help you understand why people get annoyed with influencer rants, hopefully you can see the other side of it instead of just assuming we all just think influencers don’t have a right to complain because that’s just not the case.
