A 21-year-old YouTuber is pushing back against harmful influencer rhetoric. After an explosive rise to online fame by the time he was just finishing secondary school, Tom Simons (known as TommyInnit) has transformed the way he uses his platform.

In particular, he’s explicitly rejecting the popularity of “manosphere” figures like Andrew Tate. Now, he’s not afraid to flat out make fun of the kinds of advice these creators give for wealth and confidence. (The Times)
