Atiya Walcott Rolling Stone list
Rolling Stone placed Atiya Walcott on their list of most influential creators despite her having 500,000 followers, a decision that left xQc in disbelief. The author argues that accumulating 500k followers across multiple platforms does not equal actual influence. They compare a TikTok following of 500,000 to walking outside with a wooden sign advertising a mixtape, stating this level of reach has no influence at all. The comment specifically addresses the discrepancy between follower count and perceived influence on social media.

Wild Cup, I don't know who that is. Okay. Okay, chat, I swear this isn't, um, rude. I'm not being rude, okay, chat. As 500k followers, chat, on most platforms, you're not influencing shit. Most influential 500k on mo- chat. 500k on TikTok is like going outside with a wooden sign and saying, buy my mixtape. Femini on TikTok is like fucking, uh, drives me on your head and going down on the subway. Literally. It's, it's not, it has no influence at all. It's zero. I mean, I, um, and I'm not, I don't mean to be, oh God, I'm so cool. This isn't about me. It's just about, it's about how it is. I mean, Femini on the internet, there's nobody on that platform. Um, Cyrus Vasey, I don't know who that is. Grace Ryter, I don't know who that is. Ananya. Nope.
