Hey, I just realized that we're all probably actively contributing to Green's potential Influencer Crisis.
Alan and his team made a real channel for Green.
We found it. We've flocked to it. We've left comments of adoration, enticed by the idea of interacting with Green himself.
This was all probably intentional. This was all probably planned.
This was all audience participation.
Because we are all contributing to Green's influencer arc. We are provoking it. We are pushing him more and more towards the allure of popularity, to the delicious thrill of attention.
WE are the pitfall that so many people fall victim to when trying to be modern content creators.
Alan and his team have made us Green's REAL audience.
And it will hurt us all the more, when we eventually see what our actions have wrought. Because we've actually played a part in the story. It will be the consequences of our actions we see play out.
Or, at least, I can only hope that's the direction this goes. Tackling such a delicate topic as infliencer egoism and fame addiction is difficult, but this is a prime opportunity for Alan to send a message to us, the audience, the ones ultimately responsible for instigating and encouraging such toxic behaviors in modern influencers, and remind us that our actions and our attention and our greed to consume has real consequences on the person on the other side of the account.
A phenomena that Alan himself is likely very familiar with, as an animator who has to deal with 28.6 million subscribers constantly thirsty for more content.
I want it to be that deep. I want it so bad. It would be such an amazing thing to do.
