Too Old vs Too Young Influencers

So right now I sit on the couch watching The bachelorette and it just got me thinking about everyone’s ages and reality stars/social media influencers. Like comparing them to the Pinterest influencers, Tik Tokers, and reality people. There are people famous on all these random social media platforms trying to become the best of the best. 

So here at The Bachelorette Clare Crowley is 39 and is a veteran to The Bachelor franchise, she has gone on The Bachelor, two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor: Winter Games....and now as The Bachelorette. Hopefully fifth times the charm. 

I know the reasons why I would want to go on a show like The Bachelor (mainly selfish, popularity and social media type influencers things) so I’m always curious if others are the same? Now of course productions it almost seems to go out of their way to to find these influencers now a days with finding girls with huge social media followings and even now finding already seasoned influencers such as Hannah G and Hannah Ann and evening this upcoming season there’s bound to be youtubers or Tik Tokers.

So bringing it around to the Tik Tok thing, teenagers are cash cows and basically the new child actors for parents. Even Tik Tok royalty Charli D’Amelio and Co.  are now far beyond tipping their toe in the influencer game but integrating themselves in the business aspect of social media. They already built their following and now are trying to become media moguls. 

Charli also got a black Rolls Royce from Triller. Read all about it in my story on the insane $$ Triller is spending to try to make Triller a thing https://t.co/ueMWA8dpvd

Supposedly the D’Amelio’s have been/are being courted by rival app Triller who have been partnering up with other Tik Tok creators such as Bryce Hall, Tayler Holder, Blake Gray and also have been gifted them with a variety of incentives on the Triller company dime to promote their app. 

According to The New York Times , they have been financing two creator houses right after Bryce Hall and Blake Gray’s power got shut off by the city for partying as well as partnerships with Josh Richard and others for positions in their company, equity packages and perks.  Even apparently a board position for father, Marc D’Amelio? Charli was supposed promised a couple million for promotion and their leased Rolls Royce with the Triller license plate.

So disregard what I’ve said in the past about these teenagers and early 20s creators, looks like they do know something about business growth and marketing. Even Sway House members partnering with other famous notables like actor and now DJ Vin Diesel, and media business man Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports. Podcasts now really are the new thing, with nearly all the famous Tik Tok creators making their own in the past few weeks. I guess after the Call Her Daddy numbers and revenue were publicized, everyone wanted in. 

Oh also did you know they’re remaking Zoey 101 with Tik Tok stars? Tik Tok is the next best thing, not a fan though, I think the producers underestimated nostalgia of Zoey 101 and brought in all these social media influencers to as their safety net to make sure they get views. I guess this is just like Degrassi 2.0 and the reboot of 90210.
