Social Media Influencers Per. 2 Group 2 by Jeffrey Schweickert _ Staff - HeritageHS https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv The Power of Suggestion in Macbeth en-us 2020-09-01 14:32:48 UTC 2024-09-25 20:42:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Hot Take https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720862292 My take on Social Media Influencers is that I find it bad because there are so many ways that a social media influencers can “come at you” with what they are selling or posting on the internet. It's pretty annoying when an ad keeps popping up on your screen that you don't want to buy or a social media celebrity keeps posting things you don't want to see.]]> 2020-09-04 13:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720862292 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720863309 My take on social media influencers are that they are most certainly a good source of entertainment, however they bring a negative force of energy. I say this because an influencers purpose is not to only entertain but to be an example for its audience. When having a big platform there comes great responsibility. I’m not suggesting that all influencers are bad but there has been many cases of influencers having public mental breakdowns, throwing huge parties DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, being involved in scandals, setting the wrong example involving mental health and body imagery, or just publicly starting petty drama and handling it inappropriately in front of thousands, perhaps millions of people,(especially a younger crowd). Resulting for individuals who may look up to an influencer to follow their example. ]]> 2020-09-04 13:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720863309 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720863960   
I am indifferent towards social media. However, I believe it is significantly worse for us than it is good. Social media has been proven to cause more bad than good. I myself along with almost every other person my age has fallen into the social media trap and ended up losing sleep because you were staying up on Tik Tok, or felt bad about yourself because you see other people “looking better than you” or you think they “have a better life than you”. Social media has led us to be envious of things that people have that could be either photoshopped or that doesn’t really show that person’s personality or lifestyle. ]]> 2020-09-04 13:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720863960 I think social media influencers are actually good for our mental health. Some people could really be at a really low point in their life and they will look up to a certain influencer who may have gone through the same thing as them for inspiration. There is a couple of social media influencers who have gone through or are going through the same thing as us and i think when people look at them and see how they overcame it or how they are getting through it then it will inspire them to try and be like them or give them hope to push through whatever they are going through at that point in time. Social media influencers can also be looked at as motivation because you see how far they've come and what they accomplished and then you get to thinking like hey i can do that too and then you are motivated to try and do better. https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720865633 2020-09-04 13:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720865633 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720885274 I say it is indifferent because social media can have positive effects and negative effect on people. You can be influenced to do good things because of a role model. You can also find something cool about a role model but they can be doing things that aren’t good and you wouldn’t know any better just because you think they are cool.]]> 2020-09-04 14:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720885274 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720922146 I feel most of the influencers just like the attention of being liked or trending. It also depends on the audience who views the platforms of social media and what they like. Some people like these so called celebrities and love them so much, they want to be them. In a strange way, it gives people the pleasure of knowing intimate details about other people’s lives, who they either idolize or even those who they envy or compete with.

They all have something that just takes it to the next level. For instance, people who make relatable content to teenagers will get followed by a bunch of teenagers around the world. If they are really good at dancing, a relevant example is Charli D'amelio. Like her or not, she appeals to people because she is really good at dancing and has things in her life that make her more relatable. Humans want to see content that is funny, relatable, or that replicates that they wish for their life to be now, or in the future so they follow these influencers to get those things. ]]> 2020-09-04 14:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720927132 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720928447 Humans have no life, they tend to be lazy. For that exact reason they crave entertainment. This is where social media comes in and people tend to stumble upon a creator and gets their attention. If the content is good people come back, the word gets out and the platform for the creator grows. People do this thing where they can't help but come back and watch others and what they do with their lives because in reality theirs isn't as interesting. However social media is staged and nothing is ever real. ]]> 2020-09-04 14:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720928447 A lot of social media influencers do it for ego, money or fame but some genuinely care about their followers/fans https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720929303 2020-09-04 14:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720929303 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720935613 i think it is because most social media influencers amass such huge following like pewdiepie for example who has 106 million youtube subs that people like look up to them and what they have to say more than your "average" person so they have more power]]> 2020-09-04 14:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720935613 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720992957 uh well i feel like its not unfair but then at the same time it is because i think it all comes down to like what influencer you are talking about. For sure for some influencers the answer would be no because some do impact the followers mental health negative from the content they put out. It also comes down to the person mental strength too. other influencers i feel actually positively impact their followers mental health ]]> 2020-09-04 14:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720992957 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720993084 It is 100% fair to say influencers negatively impact their followers' mental health. “Not only has social media been proven to cause unhappiness, but it can also lead to the development of mental health issues such as anxiety or depression when used too much or without caution.” That quote The Independent proves social media causes mental health issues. And this study, “A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology that assessed 5,208 subjects found that overall, regular use of Facebook had a negative impact on an individual’s wellbeing.”]]> 2020-09-04 14:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720993084 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720993444 It is not unfair to say social media influencers have a negative impact on mental health,  most of the time they aren't aware. However both genders have been known to compare their self worth to an influencer. What's worse is when they are aware and they advertise it. It hurts people and those kind of creators shouldn't be given the following they have but they do. ]]> 2020-09-04 14:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720993444 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/720997163 Of course it is unfair to say that influencers impact our mental health. Some influencers that post videos of killing and shooting which can impact the younger children who watch this content, and because of this they are scared for life basically.

Using your platform to speak up for people who can not is great. Also connecting with these social media influencers who have gone through what you have gone through can help you learn you are not alone.

Treats them as if they can do no wrong or say no wrong.

That would be like me blaming the TV for a crime I committed. I would just call it being mentally weak]]> 2020-09-05 21:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/722859495 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/727250336 I would say indifferent some social media influencers could make you take bad decisions and some influencers may give you good advice and a good platform you can experience new things and maybe learn about others. ]]> 2020-09-08 14:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/727250336 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/727260288 Due to their fame they may be considered the wealthiest person. They get treated better out in public which I find wrong we are all equal and the same mistakes I can make so can they. ]]> 2020-09-08 14:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/727260288 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/727276778 No I don't find it unfair no one forces you to follow or watch them. We all follow influencers we like and if you just don't like them then simply unfollow them and you won't have any hesitation. ]]> 2020-09-08 14:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/dh2x7lsvodwptinv/wish/727276778
