The cultural supremacy of the influencer seems to be waning.  For nearly a decade, they’ve become a fount of cultural commerce, affecting how to live, what to buy, and who to follow for advice. But a backlash – against everything from expensive shopping hauls to the very persona that built an influencer's brand – is leaving many questioning their cultural relevance. So what’s going on with influencers – or better yet – who’s going to replace them? To understand this cultural shift, we’re chatting with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/irathethird/?hl=en"target="_blank" >Ira Madison III</a>, host of <a href="https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/feedback-with-ira-madison-iii"target="_blank" >The Feedback with Ira Madison</a>, to figure out what happens when the influencers lose influence.
