Read the Persuasive Passage
In the vibrant world of modern pop culture, social media influencers have become the new celebrities. They wield unprecedented power to shape public opinion, redefine trends, and influence millions with their carefully curated content. Critics argue that this phenomenon fosters superficiality and diminishes authentic artistic expression. However, supporters contend that influencers democratise fame, allowing ordinary individuals to showcase their talents and opinions on a global stage. As platforms evolve, the persuasive techniques employed—such as emotional appeal, repetition, and compelling visual narratives—are crucial in swaying public perception and sustaining influence in an increasingly digital society. The question remains: are influencers empowering a new wave of creativity, or are they merely marketing tools in a highly commercialised landscape?
