Big Dem influencers get dragged for promoting AI biz.

What do you think about Dem influencers taking sponsorship from AI companies? Or any company? What should the ethics be? The standards be around taking sponsorships, especially if you claim to be a pro-democracy creator? I struggle with this issue regularly. Every time I try to talk about $$ sloshing around in this industry, every time I try to talk about ethics and disclosure, other Dem creators who make 7 figures off their brand deals come for me. Their fans come for me. It is WILD how hard people want to do a capitalism. I'm not saying we shouldn't take sponsorships. I'm not saying we can do things perfectly in a capitalist system. I do think there's a huge difference between using the exploitive platforms we have to use to get our message out, and ENDORSING a product, especially when so many of these influencers are making high -six or seven figures already. What are your thoughts? How can we have a conversation around this without everyone being defensive, without trying to cancel other creators, without it devolving? https://www.cjr.org/analysis/the-business-of-balance-ground-news.php Creator at the beginning fire_and_hemlock on TikTok Later video from legitimatehermit on TikTok. I have not yet been able to verify his claim that a ground news founder is on the advisory board for SAN. I reached out and asked him for the source and if I hear back, I will update here. Welp, finding out that Ground News sponsors Ben Shapiro ...and David Pakman....ok. That explains a lot about why so many Chorus creators are sponsored by them. ~~~~===Ways to support our work===~~~~ LIKE COMMENT SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE!
