What's this?

I'm guessing she does fairly well actually

but it is all relative (and there is the longer-term to think through). More followers, more clicks, but I don't know how the people actually writing the checks think about quantity v "quality".

But I'm also guessing that being an asshole isn't a job requirement in this case. Being a very good basketball player certainly is, and she has that. I have no idea how the "burn hot" v "burn long" dynamics play out in these types of situations, or what the expected lifetime earnings profiles are with different approaches. Living in the "influencer" economy. Ain't it grand?
