Jennifer Aniston has gone viral after saying that social media influencers are 'famous for basically doing nothing'... is she right?

I try not to have anything to do with ‘influencers’ - I can’t even begin to tell you how much I despise them - but I know some of them put quite a lot of effort into their posts. But ultimately, getting dressed up in free gear, poncing around posing for pictures, and lying about what a wonderful life you have solely in order to make people feel jealous and worthless, doesn’t seem to be much like hard work. But, there again, neither does getting paid vast sums of money to stand in front of a camera, pulling faces while reading words someone else has written. (Why actors persist in telling us how hard they work, I do not know!) Let’s face it, Jennifer Anderson is never going to win an Oscar for her acting abilities, and if she hadn’t married Brad Pitt, would we still even know who she was? (Okay, ‘Friends’ reruns, I know. But name me two films [other than the dog one] that she’s been in. I’ll wait.) Maybe she’s annoyed because she’s not getting offered pots of cash to flog stuff on the internet? Maybe she’s attempting to up her online presence? Maybe it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
