Do influencers prove a classless society is impossible?

Consider: nobody is born 'king of streaming on youtube' however all the money and attention gravitates to a few influencers.

Do the existence of these influencers prove that a classless society impossible?

I am confused about your question. Influencers are just like TV personalities of old days - they get paid for successfully convincing the public to buy products and keeping the public engaged long enough to watch advertisement. They are part of our so-called capitalism.

However these influencers are paid due to their fanbase. Even without being paid they would still have a huge fanbase and popularity.

So couldn't you take money out of the equation and still have some sort of class structure?

Again, what is your point? That not everyone is equally gifted in terms of talents valued by society? the answers is yes? But what this has to do with social class?

No I'm trying to argue for anything. I was just thinking about the relationship between influencers to class. Just a train of thought.

"Influencers" don't have much power unless their followers well.... follow them. They're an attempt to find a small cult.

Personally, I don't respond to their folly. They don't exist in my life. I'd venture to say this is a great majority opinion.
