Lebanese Influencers Crisis: no more regular people left to influence.
In a shocking statement, Instagram officials have declared an influencers crisis in Lebanon. “90% of Lebanese Instagram accounts are now business profiles for personal trainers, life coaches, fashionistas, bloggers, vloggers, influencers, and digital media trainers“, said Kevin Systrom, CEO and co-founder of Instagram. The remaining 10% of the accounts are now occupied by regular people who have average bodies and looks, with a bad taste in clothing and restaurant choices. This decline has left influencers with no one to influence now.
“I am barely getting 100 likes per post. It’s frightening to see that all your hard work is not influencing anyone“, Sara, a fashionista from Beirut, who takes photos of herself shopping at Zara and Bershka and posts them to her Instagram page, has told Mawtoura.
Johny, a travel and food blogger who photoshops and saturates all his photos to a point where Lebanon looks like Pandora from Avatar, has also complained about the crisis: “Hotels stopped contacting me and I am not getting free food anymore. I am really afraid I would starve in few weeks.”
Ali, a fitness influencer, had more than 20K followers on Instagram, who eagerly waited his daily selfies at the gym and motivational quotes. “No one cares about my Insta stories anymore. Also, I am running out of google quotes“, he said. Ali is thinking about de-activating his account but he’s worried that his followers might be shocked and depressed later.

Hahahah very cool topic 🙂 thanks for sharing made my day ♥️
Hahaha, I love this article… Just amazing to find someone that finally highlight this crisis… Yes unfortunately this is the case in our dear Lebanon…
I do have my insta account, I am a real influencer, I coach for free, I do not promote anything and people are following because I believe that we need to lead a happy life from within.
Yalla check my account @the_mindful_haven
Haha amazing! Here we have an article criticizing the massive amount of influencers in Lebanon and one of the only 2 comments is of an influencer promoting his account! Claiming of course that he is a *real* influencer.!
*she
Yes Nadim, I am promoting myself here to point out that not all influences are seeking profit, and although people might have a lot of followers they should not be called influences as influencing is to make a difference in loves of people unconditionally.. My account is promoting the idea that we can do a difference without asking for anything in return, not fame nor financial profit.
Bravo Mawtourati!
Can you share the link to your source? i couldn’t find it anywhere on instagram
Dear, this is a satirical piece written by me.
I cannot believe that someone calls him/herself influencer.
You are blowing my mind cos if you’re not doin it for money then you’re definately trying to “influence” so that u can fell better about yourself not for some altruiste objective of spreading the word of love.
If u really wanna help go and meet real people and help.
Countless numbers need help.
Now if you’ll excuse me: cut the crap!!
Influencers hehehe
