We need to talk about why the influencer era is finally dying and whats taking its place.

Between TikTok Shop floods, endless UGC affiliate pitches, and creators hawking courses on how to do the exact same thing, modern social media has started to look a lot less like creative content and a lot more like 24/7 late-night infomercials.
