These vlogging hermits are not "destigmatising loneliness"; they are normalising a profoundly unhealthy existence. Their content is a public menace.
FO Take · Score 10
The rise of the "loneliness influencer" is a disturbing symptom of societal decay. These vlogs do not destigmatise solitude; they glamorise social atrophy. To champion a friendless existence is to condemn oneself to an impoverished life, and to encourage others to follow suit is nothing short of negligent. If you are advocating for isolation, what exactly are you building?
The strongest counter
Some find comfort and community in shared experiences of solitude. These influencers foster connection among those who feel alienated, providing a vital space for expression and understanding.
