In 2025, One of the Most Dangerous Professions in the World: Influencer

from Real-Time Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

This year it felt like there were weekly, sometimes daily headlines about social media influencer deaths.  Dozens and dozens of young men and women trying to gain subscribers and get likes were either murdered, died while attempting content, or more commonly, died by suicide.  Amy and T.J. go over what experts say is the root cause to most of these sad stories.  There’s a lot of pressure and competition to get the most views and likes, which leads influencers to do riskier things, even risking their own mental health. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
