 This is unfinished the only place where we get to finish and finish matters My name is SK Gitanga. You can follow me on all social media platforms at SK Gitanga today We're talking about social media lifestyle specifically about influences that ranges from Tik Tok is there's an Instagram and Telegram Twitter, you know, so on to our first question Do you think this influences influence us in a positive or negative way? Let me know what you think in the comment section Positively they they impact positively I can say the Around half of the percentage is positive Once you want to put your ideas you come alive and you get to say deal, but I also know you talk about them man suit of what I take talk for the I do talk for the mile kill our social media handles But I can't do valuable look at the entertainment Me as an actor in influences on us idea. Majority of the influences are doing a pretty good job So I would say positive because a good chunk of them do a good job Hey So like mostly Okay They are not realizing that the fact that they are alive is life. But if we are going to take a selfie and see the world, we are going to see the world, we have a background, we have a city. But if we go, we are just going to see the world, we are going to be able to be honest and we will be able to do what we want, and we will see the world. If we go there, we'll see the world. Some are positive and negative. Everything in Agujaga, there is a negative side and a positive side. I think it depends with their brands, but most of them I think they do influence positively. I'm a big fan of TikTok, so there are like a thousand of them on TikTok. And I follow like so many of them, Kenyan influencers, and I think they do influence people positively. Also, as I said before, it depends with who you're following, what their brand is about. But I feel like 90% of them do positively influence people. If it's the same, there is a positive side and a negative side, but there is a positive side and a negative side. But I can't take sides. The issue is, everyone, every person, every influencer, has an audience. No, no. There are two. One is the internet, the other is TikTok and the other is Instagram. It's not that. If you're a fan of TikTok, you can't go to the internet. If you're a fan, you can't go to the audience. So, what kind of audience do you have? So, the issue is, it's high-term what we realize is that TikTok as a platform, any other social media platform, the platform is what we're going to go for. It's what we're going to go for to the traditional media, traditional TV stations, like they can influence opinions. They can inform people at a faster rate than the traditional media. So, the issue is, while in Mao, they have the privilege, the audacity to command an audience, they have to select their content in a way that they package it in a very benefiting, helpful to the masses. But we don't build on a generation number. It's just a joke. To build on a generation number, at least we need to say, by the way, when TikTok is there, it's there, it's there, it's there. It's not to influence, to worship mungu like Aok. So, obviously, it's positive. But it's not like secular songs like, it's something negative. It depends on the influencer and what they're promoting or what they're influencing. If they're influencing good content, then the society will go on a good way. If they're influencing bad content, they will not. Society will go in the opposite direction. Influencers, they can positively or negatively impact the society. Number one, it depends on the audience. So, you know, if I'm watching an influencer, then it depends on me and my values. There's someone there who, when they see their lifestyle they are living, there's someone who will be easily influenced and some things that they do, like you may end up even spending your fees so that you may live a lifestyle. But okay, in someone, someone who knows that there's something that they have to do so that they may once live that lifestyle, I think for some people it will be in a positive way and that is to be a negative. So, the audience really depends. Yeah, positively. Everyone has brains. I think they impact the society positively because under the market, there are brands like Kilishangan and there are people who say that they are a celebrity. I think this varies with different types of influences and also the type of brand that they are trying to upbringing. We do have influences who are always encouraging people to try out dangerous stuff, eat dangerous food. We also have influences that are going to teach you how to make money, how they do it themselves, you know, their daily life and stuff like that, motivational quotes. Those are the kind of influences that I think bring a positive kind of impact. On to our second question. Do you think influences lie, especially when it comes to their lifestyle? Let me know what you think in the comments section. Yeah, of course, most of them lie. Yes. If you look at the storyline, the history of some of the characters of Tik Tok, I mean Tik Tokers, not all of them are real situations. Yeah, we do have Claude Chase. Aposadra. Yeah, we do. We do have Claude Chase. Yeah. Like, some of you are going to be in a place too funny, but it's not funny. Yeah. Of course, it's the camera. You have to lie, but not see water. So they are most who lie, but yeah, fake it till you make it. Yeah, some do, some lie. Actually, I don't know if it's true, but I don't know if it's true, because America and in real sense, it's not true. Yeah, that was a lie. I just saw it on social media. Social media. I don't know if it's true, but I just saw people chatting up there. I lie when some of them do lie. Yeah, 1000%. They do lie. I think they just put a very perfect image and picture out there, which is not necessarily what life is about. And they tend to make people stick to this kind of lifestyle. People want to live this way and they get to have so much peer pressure. And you feel like the way you're living, your ordinary life is not what you're supposed to be doing, you're supposed to be living in a certain way. Yeah, I feel that is not really okay. Just be you. Yes, they lie. Influencers sometimes do lie. Sometimes they do lie, they're human. Yeah, influencers can lie if they want what they want, or they have been paid to do so. It depends on the motivation to lie. Some, but not all. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, many people lie about their lifestyle. Because otherwise, when you're live on camera, you have to apply on makeup. You can't go there in your real self. You don't have to come here. So, I have to be the kind of influencer that I want to be. I want to be the kind of life I'm living so that I can command. I want to be the kind of person that can associate and have a vision. So, when you're live, you have to have some experience in your life, in your life. You can do many things. Maybe you can post in a show, post in a high place, post in a very luxurious area. Sometimes it's more like a business or business opportunity or business partner. So, this is how much people have to have friends. That's it. We have to ground different. Yes, I do think a lot of people fake their lifestyle. In fact, your people can lie and I feel like it is so unnecessary because if you're trying to be an influencer, right, we're supposed to follow what you are doing. So if you cannot trust your lifestyle, what should we trust what you're saying? If you cannot be authentic with yourself, it beats the whole thing of trying to influence people. It does not make sense. So please, can you just try? Don't try to put pressure on us. Don't lie to us. You bought a car, you bought a house because you want to chase clouds. Remember the people who are following you and they're trying to know if that's authentic. They want to know how you did it. What are you going to tell them? Let's take a short break. We'll be back with two more questions.
