”Influencers”

All this breed of bloggers and influencers—this whole rabble—is a very harmful phenomenon.
They think they are free and especially admirable for their supposed independence from TV, but in reality they are even worse, because they depend heavily on the crowd and on algorithms, which only brings even more turmoil into our society, they are not free.

Every such ‘million-follower’ is terrified above all of losing their audience, their hype in the algorithms, which by their very nature reward the most brazen stupidity.
People like that were in many ways the reason for today’s politics decline, when a crowd of fools, duped by the same fools, chose an even bigger fool. It’s all an ignoble, unfree chase for money and trend-chasing sycophancy. Instead of thinking and choosing what’s truly good, they churn out garbage to appease the crowd and the algorithms.
