A new underclass called the consumtariat? a portmanteau of consumer and proletariat, whose main activity is consumption, regulated from above.

It is kept occupied with private problems, its desires provoked with the use of advertisements and its active participation is limited to things like product choice, product customization, engaging with interactive products and life-style choice.

in contrast, there is the "netocracy"

A portmanteau of Internet and aristocracy, netocracy refers to a perceived global upper-class that bases its power on a technological advantage and networking skills, in comparison to what is portrayed as a bourgeoisie of a gradually diminishing importance.

the influencer economy, is a software-driven economy that is built around creators who produce and distribute content, products, or services directly to their audience, leveraging social media platforms and web 2.0 digital tools.

can this be a valid form of society? young people undeniably love digital content and everyone seems to agree that more of it should be of higher quality

more and more young people aspire to be youtubers, streamers, influencers, digital artists, musicians, DJs, creative directors, etc

is this bad or good?

if you were an influencer, what would you seek to influence?

i think it could be good

Web 2.0 features include social networking sites or social media sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, image sharing sites, hosted services, Web applications, collaborative consumption platforms, and mashup applications.

D**** crDk I need d**** brain stroke meta uhhuhheowow

This is the current society we live in today lol

they enjoy it tho as you can see

live shopping is going to be the move btw. You already see it in tik tok but retail workers will be doing it in the store aswell soon. small business may have their only option to compete using this method. And they will want attractive people doing it

remove "in baudrillard style" at the end of your chatgpt requests pls

im a coomer

the entire concept of an under class is actually the future (it exist already tbh) just recognized

So we’re going back to teleshopping? What our grandparents did to buy cheap jewellery?

yes precisely

lol i would've much rather do this than work the back stock when i was doing retail

If anything it gives more power to smaller businesses through the accessibility of the tool and simply going live on a social media. Like we are so used to companies handing out brand sponsorships to famous figures like atheletes, celebrities etc that are already well off

F*** the upper class
I’m gettin head on the underpass
Ain’t got no bed but the head is gas
Ain’t got no car but I’m c*******fast
Where I’m going ain’t no c*******back

Damn I really don’t get this. So customers are trying the products in front of a camera? And then there’s people sitting at home watching this live?

like video game streams but for women 🤔

I love to smoke meth as well as cigarettes
