Congratulations on your win, Hollie (seriously)! And thanks for this interesting post. I will share it with my boomer/GenX friends. We are fascinated by this world of social media influencers. It’s nothing more than advertising under a new name and medium. It’s good to remember that running existed long before social media and will continue to do so, no matter how it’s exploited.
This is a side of running social media I had never thought of. Coming from the competition side and not posting much on social media myself I am very averse to the fake positivity you are describing.
