Happy New Year, Locamores! In this episode, we discuss the attention economy and why we think influencers, especially women, get so much hate. Influencers can impact what we buy, how we think, and even how we vote. Diosa and Mala break down why we should pay attention to all sides of the influencer and what's at risk when we degrade their work.
