A Chinese influencer known as “Glacier Bro” is presumed dead after he was last seen on video losing his balance near icy waters in Tibet.
Wang Xiangjun — who gained an online following by posting videos of visiting glaciers — was exploring a waterfall when he disappeared Dec. 20 in Lhari County in northern Tibet, BBC reported.

“I keep seeing the title of “influencer “ being use mostly pertaining to the internet. I wonder what the qualifications and pay is for those kind of jobs?
To: antidemoncrat
SOME of them make a ton of money. The qualification usually is being physically attractive and having some on-screen charisma. There are no barriers to entry, and success is largely due to chance.

Get lots of people to view your YouTube videos, and you get a share of the ad revenue. Some make lots of money.
