I kinda wish the Instagram blackout had wiped everyone's following because it would be so fascinating to see how many of them bounced back. Also this is kinda boring (well not to me but in general) but I was wondering what the legal position would be if Instagram had a glitch and something like that did happen, because for some of those influencers surely their careers would be lost overnight? They get ads based on their following not their engagement right, so if it didn't bounce back, surely they'd lose a tonne of business?
Just waffling now but I was thinking how fragile a career like that really is. I doubt they could sue a social media platform for loss of earnings, they're not in a contract with them or anything (I assume). If I were an influencer right now I'd be tit scared tbh.
