'Champagne problems': Large numbers of TikTok influencers ... (New York Post)

Disillusioned TikTokkers Mackenzie Newcomb and Kara Smith. Twenty-something TikTokers like Mackenzie Newsome (left) and Kara Smith are among the rising numbers ...

Newcomb, meanwhile, plans to swap her coastal New England life for New York City in the fall, where she said she’ll be getting a “real” job. “[But] it’s this really crazy feeling, like you are contributing to the demise of the world.” She said she’s fortunate to be able to do that thanks to her husband’s salary. TikTok queen Charli D’Amelio was the most popular person on the platform for two years until she was unseated earlier this year; despite losing her coveted crown, the 18-year-old confessed to feeling almost relieved, and said she was happy to take a back seat. Few to none have been immune, with most social-media stars eventually losing interest and favor with their followers and disappearing from the platforms that brought them attention. Jenna Marbles, a comedian who became one of the most followed YouTubers in the 2010s with nearly 20 million subscribers, left the platform completely in June 2020 after facing backlash for previous content some deemed offensive. Smith also said that a large portion of her stress came from trying to secure new deals while still tracking down late payments from others. And she realized she was sharing things that didn’t always feel authentic in order to keep up. Newcomb, for one, said she clocks 50 hours a week trying to attract attention on the app. Most of Newcomb’s peers would kill for her job as a TikTok influencer, but the New England native is burned out. There, she’s expected to do little more than work on her tan, show off her free J.Crew gear and perhaps enjoy a complimentary lobster roll from a local restaurant. She works from her home on a beautiful pond in Massachusetts, where her grueling schedule includes quiet time in her kayak and trips to the beach.

This Woman Is TikTok's No. 1 Spotted-Lanternfly Influencer (Curbed)

Liv Volker, a 47-year-old Pennsylvania health-care worker, has the top TikTok account on getting rid of the invasive spotted lanternfly, posting regularly ...

“Not enough prevention, not enough education, and a lot of ball-dropping,” she says. Just a few days ago, she posted a video panning up the trunk of a scraggly tree: “Today, I sadly discovered where all the spotted lanternflies in our park are coming from, and it’s this tree, and it’s going to die. Volker has devised a more elegant method, which she calls the “ bottle trick.” It only requires a plastic water bottle or takeout cup with a domed lid. “There’s clearly a lack of education going on, so I was just like, Okay, I will become the person.” She deleted all the videos unrelated to lanternflies from her account and renamed it @Livanysquisher, where she posted hundreds of clips about the lanternfly and a few other invasive insects. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets pointed me to instructions on how to build lanternfly traps. There are, of course, plenty of advisories on how to get rid of lanternflies — most fall into the “step on it” camp — but the official messaging is surprisingly inconsistent and sometimes mind-boggling. Her efforts have made her the No. 1 spotted-lanternfly influencer on TikTok, where she has gained more than 56,000 followers and tens of millions of views on her videos. People like gross things.” Her videos are often just seconds long, up close (with just her hands in the frame), and overlaid with her cheerful, slightly raspy voice-over. (“Girl u be collecting them like Pokemon lmaoo,” writes one user.) The remainder are turned off by the anti-bug violence; they “just can’t wrap their head around the fact that you have to be actively un-aliving these things left and right.” (She uses the word un-alive, she tells me, because TikTok’s algorithm will penalize her if she says the word kill.) She began posting on TikTok in September 2021 with a seven-second clip of herself squishing a lanternfly with her bare hand. “I was outside screaming and stomping, because they were all over the hospital,” she says. Spotted lanternflies — the insects that we collectively freaked out about last year — are everywhere now: hanging out on the sidewalk, clinging to railings, sitting in shrubs, fluttering their little brown-and-red spotted wings while destroying our trees and crops.
