Ang猫le Christin (Stanford University) will present an ethnographic study of content creators on social media platforms, which draws on cases ranging from vegan YouTubers to 鈥渄ad鈥� influencers and influencer marketers.

Christin will show how structural forces reproduce precarity as well as gender and racial inequality in social media careers, while also nudging influencers toward interpersonal 鈥渄rama鈥� and sometimes the production of problematic content. Moving beyond the case of influencers, Christin will develop the concept of the “follower economy” to explain these transformations in how we communicate and present ourselves offline.
