The Fall of The Influencer

Gathering a following on someone else's platform and renting it out one sponsored post at a time was never a business. It was a lease, and the landlord can raise the rent or evict you whenever it wants.

The Fall of The Influencer explains why that model is breaking (trust debt, rented reach, deal dependence, burnout, a flood of synthetic faces) and lays out what comes next: the owner era. Own your name, your audience, your body of work and a piece of what you sell.
