Social media is compelling, sometimes addicting. Among the youngest generation to reach adulthood today, it's been much more influential than it's been for older generations. Negative results have been noted.
A few people have leveraged social media (photo) for big incomes. Gen Z'ers do watch a lot of it and some have done what yesterday's post talks about: they dove into social media and used it to monetize their own lives.
In fact, a few of them make a whole lot of money doing it. They're open about the money and their audience is impressed: "Watching influencers has changed my perception of what a good job is!"
As one 23-year-old put it, "Influencers are so open and honest about making four times as much as their old nine-to-fives, and having such flexible lifestyles, has opened my generation's eyes into what's possible. It makes you feel completely disillusioned, and it's made Gen Z completely nihilistic about working."
Add the higher cost of housing and issues of affordability to their situation, and working a regular job doesn't look so good.
What could go wrong?
