When someone in your life is an influencer, does that mean you become fodder for their content?

It feels like we live in a world where everyone is an influencer. Everyone has their little side hustle of posting clips online, and everyone is trying to turn their name into a brand. Who can blame them? It’s the waters we swim in. And it can be a pretty easy way to make some extra money if you have some amount of luck. But it might just have consequences in other areas of your life. Not everyone wants to be a public-facing person, nor should they have to be. Not everyone wants to have their face or their personality broadcast out for the world to see. But if you have an influencer in your close orbit, this is a conversation you might need to have with them.
