Welcome to the brave new world

I have doing a lot research on these D2C brands , these brands are burning VC cash in ads and influncer marketing. And what just for topline !! When will the focus or plan to focus on bottomline !! Are these guys playing for valuation game or they really want to build profitable business out of it ?? Please correct me if i m wrong , also paying influncers butt load money wothout knowing the ROI , i think influncer marketing is a bubble which is yet to burst and the next phase is influencer led sales !!!

This is my theory: if you have a very active social media account or by any chance you are a mid-size "influencer," then you are a hiring risk. Either you will spend most of your time on social media, or if you get into a disagreement with your employer, you have the capacity to cause much higher damage.

Do you guys feel that all these years of hardwork, getting best education & hustle to get decent/top job is no way remunerative to what people on SM(insta/yt) influencers make by simply sharing their life/cooking videos/GRWM/nutritionists etc, which we audience consume mindlessly. Does this change in career mindset going to make children opt out of higher education? I see a lot of people below 18yrs to have below average scientific mind. Ofcourse, there are people in the same age group doing amazing stuff, building startups etc but an average kid seems lost in the digital space.

Opportunities are so much more then when I stared. We never flaunted getting a job into a Top company even when options were fewer. What is the need to give average gyan on linkedin for getting a job offer. Open question to Gen Z why are you so desperate for social validation?

Do influencers really earn a lot? Do you know any influencer who is earning a lot and working in a full time job as well? If being an influencer is easy and rewarding, why isn't everyone doing it? Is it going to stay for long ?

Have come across many YT influencers cum freelancers cum podcasters - barely out of college but claiming to earn in crores. Not sure how true that is but if so, I do feel inferior though I am at a high paying job. Their constant show off makes it worse - one guy claimed in front of Bikchandani that he made 35L/month

Hearing alot about GenZ not being serious about work, lack of expected manners, careless about impact (these are not my opinions) etc, i was wondering this is the reason why a) millennials are able to save their jobs bcoz their managers are used to of certain way of working b) freshers are not getting jobs as it was 3-4 years back, even out of top colleges! (Source - Latest IIT placement reports) is it true or i am just being optimistic that my job is secured? 😂
