    Is this meant to illicit sympathy for “influencers”? Cause I really don’t have any on a regular basis and especially if they are considering crossing the line.

    Internet celebrities/influencers are the obvious thing to tap into for revenue so smart on the unions part.

      Internet content creators can’t be a part of SAG-AFTRA unless they are hired by another person. It is this strange middle ground for talent.
