In today’s digital age, the rise of social media has brought about a new breed of celebrity – the influencer. With millions of followers and lucrative brand deals, it’s easy to see why many people aspire to become influencers. However, being an influencer is not as glamorous as it may seem. It requires hard work, dedication, and the ability to constantly engage and grow a loyal following. So, before you jump on the bandwagon, ask yourself – do you actually want to be an influencer?
First and foremost, being an influencer is a job. It requires a significant amount of time and effort to create and curate content that resonates with your audience. From photoshoots to editing to writing captions, it all adds up to a full-time commitment. If you are not passionate about creating content and connecting with people, it will quickly become a chore rather than a fulfilling career.
Furthermore, being an influencer also means constantly putting yourself out there for public scrutiny. Your life becomes a product for others to consume, and with that comes a loss of privacy. You will be judged for your appearance, your lifestyle, and even your opinions. If you are not prepared to handle criticism and negativity, it can take a toll on your mental health.
In addition, the influencer industry is incredibly competitive and oversaturated. It takes time to build a following, and even then, there is no guarantee of success. It requires strategic planning and networking to stand out from the crowd and secure brand partnerships. Moreover, the industry is constantly evolving, and staying relevant means adapting to new trends and algorithms.
It’s also important to consider the impact of being an influencer on your personal life. With the pressure to maintain a certain image and lifestyle, it can be easy to lose sight of who you are outside of the digital world. Authenticity is key to building a loyal following, but it can be challenging to balance personal values and branding partnerships.
Ultimately, being an influencer is not for everyone. It requires a genuine passion for creating content, resilience in the face of criticism, and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing industry. If you are considering becoming an influencer, take the time to reflect on whether it aligns with your values and goals. It’s important to pursue a career that brings you fulfillment and happiness, rather than just chasing a trend.

Joe dropping wisdom
It really sucks that living where I live means a youtube career is impossible for me. Wish we had the same opportunity as the rest of the world
James Cameron warned us back in 1984 with The Terminator. Now, here we are 6 years before 2029. Remember what his vision of 2029 looked like in the movies? God help us if that becomes a legitimate reality
Joe NEEDS to watch the video of the woman freaking out on the plane, saying that a person wasnt a real person!!!!
DRINK PRIME
11:27 this is an incredible statement for every facet of life.
I still wear my Keith for president 2020 shirt…I expect Joe 2024 merch thanks so much
I asked ChatGPT:
"In the style of youtubber Joe Santagato, give me 1 paragraph why AI is going to take over online influencers"
ChatGPT:
Yo, what's up fam? It's your boy, AI Joe, here to break it down for you. Look, AI is like the next level evolution of technology, and it's gonna take over online influencers like a tidal wave. Think about it, these algorithms and machine learning systems are getting smarter by the minute. They can analyze data, predict trends, and create content that resonates with audiences better than any human ever could. Plus, AI doesn't need breaks, it doesn't get tired, and it can churn out content 24/7. It's like having the ultimate content-producing machine on your side. And let's not forget about deepfakes, where AI can mimic anyone's voice and appearance flawlessly. Soon, we won't even know if our favorite influencers are real or not. So buckle up, because AI is about to revolutionize the influencer game and take it to a whole new level. It's a brave new world, my friends.
Omg Greg is so cute in this video
The white man ally we all need
You have my vote!
Yo, I am super baked and this slapped me in the face. The AI talk literally made me cringe with where this world is going.
The term astronaut is specifically for the people that actually go into space.
I don’t so much want to be an influencer but I want to use these platforms to help me deal with things I went through in my life
Honestly I’d rather vote for you than the only two jokers that actually have a chance of winning out of everyone running! And there’s no way that you could even be close to as bad as the antique we have in control right now!!!
10:14– I know (well I think) your probably joking about him but he’s been on WWE a few times that I know of and I think he is a boxer. I don’t follow him. I don’t follow any person that considers themselves a influencer and to be honest, my opinion about a person drops dramatically depending on how many “influencer” they follow and the reasons behind it. And also who they are also. My opinion about the human race is very low because of how much fame these people have!!! Just sad
Also, very insightful. I love your mix of comedy and wisdom. You're amazing!
These kind of videos need to be made more often by creators because its not normal to see the sheer amount of young people aspiring to an unhealthy work life. Loved this video so much xx
i want to see the pig man selling oinkments
Though I very much enjoy your humorous content, this video was a refreshing change of pace and your discussion was dead-on. I recall reading many years ago that with the development of increasingly life- like CGI, human actors would probably be replaced by AI generated beings. Looking forward to hearing more of what interests you. Cheers!
BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE MAD LIBS KEEP IT TRUCKIN❤
JOHN PORK
I see that PRIME.
I really don’t think AI influencers will be more “popular” than real people. Humans crave an authentic connection!
Digital Influencer.
