example Vogue Williams, insta model, former dj/wag/radio presenter/author etc and now married to some well to do royal family member with a rich doddy...hopefully she'll stop getting airtime with poor documentaries on RTE

Yeah, like the top 1% end up doing that well. The rest end up fending for themselves.

Hande hoche!

Come on lets face but since we've lived in caves women have wanted to stand out and be noticed.
I'm sorry but evolution has shaped our brains and not the advancement in women's rights since the 1960s.

If only everything that was sh1t about life was as easy to circumnavigate by simply not actively allowing it to be under your gaze on your own device.

Influencers isnt that the term.


Does anyone check how effective it might be?

It creates a more horizontal distribution of advertising revenue so that's a good thing.

You won't have to wait that long. In ireland it will be next recession fully hits in the next 12 months. I don't know how meager pharmacy can stay going throwing out the amount of stuff to Irish Intragrammers. That's just one example. Also in the UK look at the amount of Instrgammers getting into serious financial and mental health difficulties...like former Lover Island contestant. Read an article last week in order to live like Molly Mae's Instagram page you would next a 6 figure income annually

It's just an extension of the cult of celebrity It's not new, it's just the latest evolution via reality tv shows of people who with big egos who train themselves to have nice bodies to hid the fact that they have no talent .

i find it's mostly women who do it and mostly women who follow them to be honest.

Apparently some instagram models whore themselves out to rich Arabs in Dubai who pay them serious amounts of money to do disgusting things.

There's a great bit in Hypernormalisation, the Adam Curtis documentary [actually the whole thing is great]. It's just a passing moment but it focuses on Jane Fonda, and how she went from trying to change the world - however misguided her efforts might be interpreted by some with the visits to Vietnam during the war with the US - to improving herself with the workout videos in the 1980s.

Specific part starts at 0:55. The instagram models, they are a symptom of this. Nobody in the decades leading up to the 70s would have engaged in the type of vanity we see today, but it gradually gained momentum. It became normalised in the 80s, solidified in the last 20 years.

You can't change the world, so why better. Focus on yourself. Generation Me.

The vanity we see today is almost like a backlash against feminism.
'Hey, we want to be recognised for our intellect but don't I have a great body!'

Vanity has never gone away. It just has an accessible platform now.

It's often said that changing the world is a selfish thing to do - you're ultimately cleaning it to suit you.

These social media queens are depressing. The fact that so many young women aspire to be like them is worrying. I see some young thing has gone viral in a sex tape and all she cares about is the extra followers!

Instagram is endemic. I can't count the number of times I've been on a bus, tube, train or plane and caught sight of people endlessly scrolling, sometimes for hours, "liking" stuff or checking their own "likes" or cyber stalking others' profiles or whatever. Such a monstrous waste of time.

I disabled my own account a few weeks ago as I felt the affects it was having on me were toxic, I missed it for a few days or more like didn't know what else to be doing with my hands, I've since taken to reading or audiobooks on those long daily commutes instead and it's been a breath of fresh air.

Without realising it, the scrolling puts you on the back foot, feeling inadequate and insecure and "why don't I look like that" or "why isn't my life like that". When in reality it's just a toxic stream of Fake News you're looking at from people that are even more insecure than you.

Had a look at that video on the first page. Funny but ultimately left me shaking my head.

If you filtered narcissism and ego through volcanic rock for a thousand years, you still mightnt get the same purity of shoite that is social media.

Paying actual money for "followers", bots that pretend to be human, young girls purposefully posing for hours and manipulating photos all for the end result of an army of virtual perverts to comment vacuous nonsense like "love your ass".

And everyone pretending to love it on all sides, glued to phones every waking second of every day, while everyone on all sides are slowly dying inside.

Fuuk every single atom of it!

Think you need to look up the definition of "Godwin" there - i never actually compared anyone to a Nazi - I just said it was a selfish thing to do.

I could have used Trump, Obama, Greta Thunberg or Extintion Rebellion as examples!

Is there a law yet for inaccurate references to Godwin's Law?

I think the ones who constantly articulate their thoughts on instagram stories are the strangest of all. They could be sitting on a bus or walking down the street and they'd be recording themselves talking about random stuff. It's like a video diary for the world to see and then it disappears after 24 hours.

Everyone seems to want to bash them ....when in actuality they are doing no one any harm.

Are they not quite possibly adversely affecting the mental health of young women?..

Disagree with you here - they are promoting some very unhealthy charactaristics such as narcissism.
