Some journalists can hide their glee when they report that the fairy tale for influencers in Dubai might be over now that it’s suddenly on the frontlines of a conflict few of them have the slightest inkling of understanding of.

Some newspapers are quick to report that the Mekka of influencer culture is falling apart. But is it really?

Soon enough there won’t be rockets flying over and things will go back to normal. Tone deaf reactions by these influencers will be forgotten. The mild discomfort they endured as well. None of them will lose his or her followers because they complain about a cancelled party while school kids are burned to a crisp.

The world’s appetite for tanned people with plastic looking faces sipping cocktails in bikini is endless.

Rest assured, influencer culture is robust, going strong, and expected to grow apace.

A few Iranian rockets are no antidote to decadence. Not the decadence of the influencers nor the decadence of the millions who willingly tank some ruinous quick dopamine from staring at sculpted bodies surrounded by luxury brands and wonder why their own lives are so unexciting.

Iran can temporarily drive up oil and gas prices, it will FAIL at rewiring modern day dopamine circuits.
