It can feel like “influencer culture” is filled with meaningless or overhyped content because its primary focus is often on visibility, virality, and monetization, rather than substance or genuine connection. Some reasons people criticize influencer culture include:
- Inauthenticity: Many influencers project a curated, often unrealistic version of their lives, leading to skepticism about their intentions or authenticity.
- Oversaturation: The market is flooded with influencers promoting similar products, leading to a sense of repetition or insincerity.
- Shallow Content: Quick, viral content often prioritizes aesthetics over depth, leaving audiences craving more meaningful or educational material.
- Manipulative Marketing: Some influencers focus solely on monetization, promoting products or services they don’t genuinely care about, which erodes trust.
- Cultural Impact: The emphasis on wealth, beauty, or fame as aspirational can feel damaging or unrelatable to many.
However, the key is finding those whose values and content align with your own interests and expectations.

What is Intention and Why Should You Care? — Katia Vlachos
“Intention is a way of being in the world. Being intentional also means being aware of your ‘why’—your purpose, your reason for doing what you’re doing. It means aligning your actions with your values—what’s important to you. It’s a source of meaning and a source of strength. It allows you to see the big picture.”

“Elitism is the notion that individuals who form an elite — a select group with desirable qualities such as intellect, wealth, power, physical attractiveness, notability, special skills, experience, lineage — are more likely to be constructive to society and deserve greater influence or authority. The term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people. Beliefs that are in opposition to elitism include egalitarianism, anti-intellectualism (against powerful institutions perceived to be controlled by elites), populism, and the political theory of pluralism.”
