Get rich or lie trying : ambition and deceit in the new influencer economy / Symeon Brown. by Brown, Symeon. Atlantic Books, 2022. Call #: 070.449302 B879g Subjects Internet personalities.   Internet personalities -- Finance, Personal.   Fame -- Social aspects. ISBN:  9781838950279 (hc.) Description:  xxiii, 280 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages [260]-270) and index. Summary:  "Discover the truth about the billion-dollar online economy that made the internet's best known stars. Being an influencer is now the top future career choice for children. What if you could spend your life adored by fans, receiving freebies and countless riches. What if you could bypass the worst job market for generations? But as Symeon Brown explores in this searing expose, the reality is much more murky. From YouTube pranksters in LA to Brazilian butt lifts, from pornographers on OnlyFans to fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes, these are the stories that lurk behind the filtered selfies and gleaming smiles. Exposing the fraud, exploitation, misogyny and environmental destruction at the core of the influencer economy, 'Get Rich or Lie Trying' asks if our online race for fame and riches is costing us too much. A revealing window onto a broken financial model that often resembles a pyramid scheme, this incredible blend of reportage and analysis will captivate and horrify you in equal measure." Symeon Brown is a reporter and journalist at Channel 4 News. He was shortlisted for an Orwell Prize in 2019 and shortlisted at the 2018 British Journalism Awards. He has written for a range of publications including Vice, Guardian, Huffington Post, CNN, New Statesman and The Voice.
