Social media influencer seems like a job title/career choice that makes holding onto integrity difficult. It's a real conundrum because these folks make much of their living through what I'd call pure attention- seeking. Their identities become molded to an ever-shifting, dangerously unstable zeitgeist built on profit-making and ego expansion. Same problem celebrities have always had but I think the difference is when your disability is your identity it's nearly impossible to sidestep ableism. Your literal job is to climb out of a bucket.
