24 fictional characters and the type of influencers they would be

Influencers have integrated themselves into everyone’s everyday lives, from watching grandmas share recipes on TikTok to kids making millions unboxing new toys on YouTube. It’s a passion for some, a career for others, and entertainment to those who tune in. However, has anyone ever wondered what kind of influencers their favorite characters would be if they were in the real world? Ariel from The Little Mermaid would show off her Funko Pop collection. Gregory from Abbott Elementary would be all over PlantTok. So many others would grace us with their content, so long as they were ingrained into the algorithm. With that, let’s take a look at some other characters and the influencers they would be.
