Memories For Sale

 One day, our memories will become content for influencers who don't have a life/personality. Essentially your life story sold as intellectual property to a privileged, manufactured influencer working in a mass of influencer farms. 

Their job is be an influential content creator. But many lack the life experience or the personality because they focused on the other side of the business. The filters and makeup and creating a beautiful visual storyline of their beautiful, aspirational life. They soon realized, everyone can post a pretty photo. You had to have depth behind it. They didn't. So they just bought it. 

Your life story. Your trauma, your growth, your failures and successes. The moment you realized you were in love and when you fell out of love. Your less than perfect family. All the experiences that made you interesting and a fully formed person with life experiences. They use your phone for it. You technically already capture your life in your phone in your photos and your texts. In the future, people will bid for it. Your life's memories and experience will be organized and tagged and they will sort through it to see the quality of your content. If they like it, they instantly own the rights to your life story. They can choose to (and usually do) replicate your entire experience from scratch, often just duplicating and modifying slightly your own photos and texts. For example, recreating the same pose but keeping the content. Most influencers lazily just copy paste the content, and pepper in some of their own selfies occasionally, they don't even care that you can tell it's not their original life story or photos. Those are the lesser known ones. The best influencers breathe in your life story like a method actor, and use bits and pieces of it they want to integrate into their brand - perhaps a traumatic backstory with your family, a once in a lifetime love story, a beautiful apartment, a cute family of cats, whatever they found desirable in your life,  and they thoughtfully and replicate it with their own content. And they source from multiple lives, cherry picking only the pieces they like and jigsaw piecing together her perfect life. She just needed the 'inspiration' from people who lived the lives she couldn't.
