Just How Much Money Do “Influencers” Make?

I'm in my 40s. I follow lots of popular accounts (so influencers, right?) in the cycling world.

My wife does the same in interior design.

There are lots of kids, true. But try looking at mommy-instagram and you'll see a whole other world.

True. But following is not engagement. If you average X likes per hour on say IG and your teen doppelganger also is X p/h but they're on IG 5 or 6 times as much as you. Well, I think you can see the difference.

Yeah perhaps.

But older people spend lots of money on non essential items.

Also have you seen how much time a stay at home Mom spends on social media? They'd give any teenager fair competition.
