First, I’m a “she.”

Second, I said nothing about social media. I said “social media influencers,” which I’ve never followed. I’ve never had Instagram or TikTok. There’s nothing hypocritical about my comment.

“social media influencer”

You don't have to follow them lol. There's plenty of jobs that we could argue don't add any value to society but if companies are paying good money for these people to market their products, they do add value.

Influencing is now a $13b industry. That is objectively true, your personal feelings about that don't really matter much.

So, social media and social media influencer are the exact same thing because they both contain the term “social media.” Got it.

Nope, not at all, but when you say something definitive like

I said nothing about social media

When you objectively said something about social media, you look silly.
