Today, it can seem like social media platforms take up a huge part of our lives. With these platforms being so popular, it doesn’t take much of a push from an influencer to start a trend. However, some of these trends seem like they go too far. These are some of the things people think social media influencers popularized that they’d prefer were never made so famous.

Generally Influencing

This person has a real problem with people who are so determined to be an influencer that they're willing to take other people's money, particularly when it's for their own benefit.

It's one thing to reach out for help when times get tough financially. However, this person feels as though, at some point, you should realize the influencer gig isn't paying the bills and make changes other than taking money from followers.

Living in the Moment

The way that you spend your free time is up to you. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't things that don't grate other people's nerves.

With the popularity of influencers and vloggers, it's become a lot more common to record almost everything that you do. While she might have been having fun, this person couldn't help but wonder if the young lady in this story ever looks away from her phone.

Give Everyone Else Some Room

There are some places you go and you just know that they're going to be crowded. For instance, if you go to Times Square, you aren't likely to be the only one there.

That's why this person was so confused when they noticed TikTokers getting upset that no one was making room for them. The fact of the matter is that these places are busy and everyone has their own thing going on. In other words, they're probably not going to stop in their tracks just so you can record a video for your TikTok account.

Taking Up Space

TikTok dances can seem like the bread and butter of the app with how popular they are. Yet, they aren't just something that you do in the comfort of your home.

There are a lot of people who do these dances in public. This isn't a problem if you're in your own space in a park but in some areas, it just gets in the way. Stopping on a busy sidewalk, or in the middle of the street, to make a TikTok dance isn't going to impress this OP.
