ktruly's review against another edition
I was ready for a nuanced look at the influencer economy. This was not it. I appreciate that McNeal takes her subjects and their industry seriously, but ultimately her take was surface-level, even with a specific scope of three particular influencers.
The book would have greatly benefitted from a tighter edit, particularly regarding organization of themes/chapters, reliance on cliches, ass random commas, and repetition. Parts were so redundant that I got the impression she was trying to hit a minimum word count.

This book mainly talks about three influencers. It talks about how they got to the point where they were able to support themselves being influencers. It talks about the challenges they faced. The book also talks about others such as managers, publicity agents, photographers, and others who support the influencers. It also talks about people who dislike influencers and attack them online. I found the book interesting and informative.

An interesting look into the world of influencers. I didn’t know the history of how internet influencing evolved.
