3: Cancelled for Clout: The Rise and Fall of Influencers & Society's Role
In this episode of Here for the Clout, Sherrilyn and Chelsea tackle the controversial world of cancel culture, focusing on influencers who have been "cancelled" and the aftermath that often follows. We dive into the stories of well-known influencers who faced public backlash, lost followers, and were dropped by brands, yet somehow managed to stay in the spotlight—or even grow from the experience.
We also ask the tough questions: Are we too quick to cancel, or are we holding people accountable in a way that’s necessary for progress? How should we, as a society, react to these moments—should we forgive, forget, or continue to call them out?
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the complexities of cancel culture, the impact it has on both influencers and their audiences, and what it means for the future of social media. Whether you’re for or against cancel culture, this episode is sure to make you think twice about the next time you hit that follow button.
