An Internet celebrity is a celebrity who has acquired or developed their fame and notability through the Internet. The rise of social media has helped people increase their outreach to a global audience. Influencers can also be typical individuals rather than celebrities, who post their interest and sponsorships with brands. Today the most popular influencers are found on popular platforms like Instagram, Youtube, Snapchat, and Tik Tok. Within the last decade, studies show that Instagram holds a majority of the influencer population. Sometimes, influencers are known as 'Instagrammers'. Internet celebrities may be recruited by companies for influencer marketing to advertise products to their fans and followers on their platforms. Internet celebrities often function as lifestyle gurus who promote a particular lifestyle or attitude. In this role, they are crucial influencers or multipliers for trends in genres including fashion, beauty, technology, video games, politics, music, and entertainment.
