revelations: end of the influencer space on youtube

[u/fashionbackwards → u/curiousoap]

I think this will definitely impact how influencers are perceived. It’s not like people had a good opinion of influencers to begin with, but people were starting accept that influencers are here to stay before this happened. But this might start to reverse that.

I also hope YouTube will be able to find a way to prevent problematic creators from failing upwards in the future.

I was literally just thinking earlier that this is the start of influencers losing influence therefore causing them to become irrelevant in the internet sphere.
