Sharing wisdom without being wise #1

Hey!

So, I got offline a bit but that's because I got sick. I still am but I feel better now.

I had this idea in the beggining when I logged in spacehey, that I 'll post blogs regularly about basically everything. But then I realised I don't have that much experience yet to give tips or life changing advises to anyone, and I feel like venting every day in a blog, like you would do in a diary or journal, is just a cheap way to fill out the space.
I may be a hypocrite, because what I'm doing right now is venting myself so who am I to judge.

I just want to put my thoughts out here for a moment and maybe see what everyone else thinks.

Is it just me or being an influencer now days is not as big of a thing anymore?
I maybe saying this because I'm not chronically online like some other people and don't actually pay attention to a content creators follower numbers, but I don't know.

Somehow it just hits different nowdays than like a few years ago, in a bad way.
Nowdays everyone can be an influencer. Thechnically, you just have to upload something into the online space, the algorithm might put it out there for millions of people and boom, your popular, you are now an 'influencer'. But for many, as I saw, it's just a few minutes in the spotlight before it shifts its light on to something else.
Back then, when I was little, being an influencer didn't mean a few blissful minutes in the spotlight, it meant years of work, slowly working yourself up and then creating a lasting channel or brand. These people are popular today too and they keep going, keep growing as a person, as an influencer or as a brand.

Maybe it's just me, not having much insight into this, and this might be the answer, but it is still so unmotivating, maybe not just for me. The knowledge that even if you accomplish something and people finally see you and what you can do, only to be cast aside for something less quality or just something dumber, it can be really draining and unmotivating. It brings up a question:

'What's the point?'

Sadly, we live in a generation where people's minds are so addicted to dopamine, the need to consume and buy stuff that we don't need and we are easily pass by genuine works of people that truly have talent. Why? Because it's not filled with filters and funny memes or trending quotes. Or because the average person just doesn't care.

I know I sound like every other commentary channel youtuber ever and scold the today's generation short attention span and blame everything on everyone else when I'm no different either. We are all fault at this, but even if there are some people who are not like this, I can't just expect a few people to change an entire world.

It may have been just me, screaming into the void, saying something that everyone already knows and heard about a million times, but I just had to get this out of my system.
This one blog won't change anything, I'm aware of that, I don't even know what I expect to accomplish with this blog.
But maybe there doesn't have to be a reason for everything you put on the internet. My wording midht not be the best, but I hope you understand what I mean.

In the end, the internet is accessible to everyone and everyone will watch and consume content from whoever they want to: from an influencer with millions of followers or from a small artist who only has a few likes. There for, I think what it means being an influencer is different for everyone, and if for you it is someone who had five minutes in the spotlight, then I'm not the one to judge you for it.

Being an influencer alway were and always will mean what the people make it mean.



Don't take my words to heart or for granted, I just had this monologue in my head for days and I thought I just put this out here.

If you want share your thought about this topic too or correct me if I was wrong, which is a 100%, feel free to do so - just please don't roast me too much TvT

That's all guys, I hope you stay safe and drink a lot of water. Bye!
