60% of respondents confirmed that they have been following bloggers and influencers for the past month. About 57% of respondents said they were ready to move to a new platform following the blogger in order to continue following his content.

Influencers, like all people, have a hard time adapting to new realities, especially when many of them have lost the main thing – the platform for their activities. Because of this, both the quality and quantity of content suffer. And the audience noticed it – 39% admitted that they feel sad about this. This figure indicates that the audience lacks a positive agenda in the information space.
