    As much as I can understand the viewpoint people have that these influencers are narcissists, you can't say that these individuals are entirely superficial and unskilled when they've marketed themselves in such a way that gains them millions of support worldwide - whilst you work a 9 to 5 job, they've cultivated a business for themselves by utilising a daily task (going on phone/hijab)

      Well, enter the domain of high functioning narcissism. They are the most dangerous sub-species of humanity. They are far, far worse than say psychopaths. Psychopaths are chilled and don't need this type of attention unless they were abused maybe. And they can have strong morals, and good human content. Unlike narcissists who are empty vessels searching for recognition just for being who they are and they need tons of that : hence all their viewers ! They need confirmation like cars need gas.
      But as they grow older they become truly dangerous and utterly sick. Talk to victims they'll give you an insight that makes the term 'biblical proportions' melt like snow under the sun. We are talking very, very, very sick.. This can simply not be overstated in any way.

    These so called influencers are users and you are their tool. Wake up people. These influencers are looking for tractable, gullible, weak-minded people who feel incapable of making their own decisions. People who get sucked into what these people are selling need someone else to tell them what to think or how to act. This is not something to be proud of. Be your own person, be an individual, not just another mindless soul emotionally dependent on some user. Wow, has our civilization fallen this low in the evolutionary chain. THINK for yourself. Use your mind. That’s what it’s there for.
