Netflix’s The Influencer features 77 influencers and streamers from across Korea. When the contestants were introduced, they each wore unusual electronic neck tags and “looked like AI characters”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korea’s top social media stars compete in challenges designed to test their ability on The Influencer. Influence determines your value and authority, and relevance leads to money, on the Netflix<\/a> competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Influencer likened to Black Mirror<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Influencer has been likened to creepy drama series, Black Mirror, which is also on Netflix<\/a>. While The Influencer is completely real, Black Mirror is a drama based on an abstrusely dystopian future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals grapple with the manipulative effects of cutting edge technology in their personal lives and behaviours in Black Mirror, similarly to the way social media is the main focus of The Influencer cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One fan wrote, “I hope I’m not the only who finds this genuinely dehumanizing,” while another penned, “now this is weird , this is a real black mirror show,” with many questioning the “dog tags”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
