I guess it's a survey of teenagers, but I don't think they say. I wouldn't be as concerned with little kids outside of the fact they are aware of the existence of social media influencers at such a young age. If it's older ones, then I guess beyond social media addiction, did no one guide them towards something realistic. The whole nonsense of you can do whatever you want is BS, but something I've tried to point out to young people before is they can find something they like well enough for income and sustenance, and still "do whatever they want" on the side while still being a stable functioning adult.
One other tip for them, if they are all going to be influencers, then there is no one left to be influenced. Therefore no one is going to need influencers. I'm not sure how many of them are smart enough to get that anymore.
I can see some of this in some slightly older people too. I've got a friend that I guess would fall into the super-young millenial category. Mid-20s. Spent way too much time trying to be a "MLG pro" and ended up never working towards something else. I tried to tell him, but they don't listen. He's a good guy and not even that lazy at work, but essentially stuck in dead end jobs at this point I'm sure until he gets to be a 30-something and realizes WTF he's done.
