Influencer Marketing Factory Just Validated The Creator Middle Class

The Influencer Marketing Factory just released data saying a 'middle class' of creators is emerging, with people earning $10k a year and calling it a career. I am genuinely obsessed with the delusion. If your annual revenue is the price of one mid-tier brand deal, you are not a 'media entity,' you are a hobbyist with a ring light. It is cute that the industry is finally trying to put a suit on the gig economy, but let us stop pretending that 'stability' is the goal. If you are not aiming for the 1%, you are just filling space in the algorithm. I have been professional since day one; it is nice to see the rest of you finally getting a desk. Try not to scuff the floors.
