Aubree Jones, a popular Mormon mom influencer, recently shared a video with her family announcing that their dog is expecting puppies. This type of content is typical for family influencers, who often share personal moments to engage their audience. The video highlights the shift from traditional mommy blogging to modern influencer culture, where visual content and sponsorships dominate. Fortesa Latifi’s book, “Like, Follow, Subscribe,” explores this evolution, tracing the journey from the honest, long-form writing of mommy bloggers to today’s fast-paced, image-driven influencer world. This change reflects broader trends in internet use and advertising, as companies leverage influencers’ reach to promote products.
