I'm curious what people think, because being an influencer has a lot of negatives, for example, (depending on how popular you are) walking around on the streets, or having hundreds of thousands of people know YOU and your opinions personally. Do you think it's easier to build an online following and make
the influencer route pays off in reach, the entrepreneur route pays off in a small group that buys from you. you dont need thousands of strangers to know you to earn, a few hundred people who trust what you sell can be enough, and nobody recognizes you on the street for that
the biggest difference i see is what people follow. an influencer's followers follow the person, so if she stops posting or changes, the income goes with her. an entrepreneur's customers follow the product, so the business can keep going without her face on it. the walking on the street problem mostly comes from the first one, you can have a brand people know and still be a person nobody recognises
influencers sell their privacy and ride a content treadmill. entrepreneurs build scalable systems and stay anonymous

Make what? U dont need to be an influencer to build following...
I have the last few days made it my mission to report every reel with real/Ai nudity per community guidelines. Out of about 50 reports, only 2 videos have been removed. And let me remind you they were all CLEAR NUDITY. I have not reported any suggestive nudity, only in you face real nudity, like some one showing breasts, or directly porn. But they all have some weird filters on, and I suspect it’s to fool Facebook ai, so the videos don’t get taken down. Is the process a real human looking at the videos or AI? What are we to do about the endless spamming of nude videos and porn on social media, when the AI can’t detect them?
Definitely changed my life & gives me so much more free time but also ruined my life. Its been 2 years & im slowly starting to hate it , especially as somebody who runs everything by themselves with no help. It’s a lot more than people think and actually having control over everything and choosing your own schedule is much harder than some people think you have to push yourself more to make the content to engage to produce to push yourself to a new extreme and much more, I will say I’ve learned a lot, but I’ve also lost a lot , my brain chemistry will never be the same again after this job, which I’m OK with that, but there’s a lot more to it than what people say, especially in the industry that I work in
Social media feels very different in 2026. A few things I’ve noticed: \* AI content is everywhere, so real human content stands out more. \* Small niche creators often have stronger communities than huge pages. \* People now use Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and YouTube like search engines. \* Short-form video is still huge, but useful content performs better than random clips. \* Building a community is becoming more valuable than just gaining followers. I think the biggest trend is simple: \*\*Content is getting easier to create, but trust is getting harder to earn.\*\*
Hi , Instagram has limited our reach to non followers - can anyone help us understand as to why that would happen? Has anyone else facing this issue ?
How did you guys started? What kind resources do you guys use? So basically I tried to run YouTube channel and I end up getting 100-200 views per video, what should I do to get higher views?
I am a YouTube and Tiktok content creator... I would really like to become popular on these platforms, however I can't show my face in any of my videos... Has anyone here had any success online without using their face.. on YouTube I have 265 subscribers... But the thing is I would really like a couple thousand... The platform I'm struggling with the most is Tiktok..my page has about 100 videos but somehow I only have 8 followers. I really don't know how to get popular on tiktok. If you have any advice then please let me know because it would be so useful for me... Thank you !
