Researchers & Ex-Influencers - Online Status Symbols & Taste

I’m writing an article about the new rules of being seen online and the status symbols that have come as a result of living so much of our lives through a screen. This article will analyse the emerging class codes of being online; it'll look at how the cult of influencer culture has made commercial performance indistinguishable from everyday self-presentation, and it will uncover questions of low-status vs high-status, taste and cultural capital. I’m looking to speak to researchers studying social-media fatigue, influencer culture and online self-presentation; influencers or former influencers who have consciously reduced their online presence; people working in luxury, fashion or creative industries about how “taste” and status are increasingly communicated digitally; and anyone who has interesting insights to share – DM me, comment or send this to anyone who may be a good fit! #journorequest #journocallout #journo #expert #expertinsight #socialmedia #online #digitalculture #influencerculture #taste #culture #insights #researchers #article
