The key difference is celebrities (at least now) have staff; publicists, assistants, and all manner of other support. And a influencer I guess could, but how many will hire one? How many can even afford to?

Being Internet-famous seems like the worst of both worlds; the celebrity of a big name and the costs that come with it, but not the wealth to help manage those costs.

I still think most celebs have it worse, even with the support staff.

An influencer isn't going to be spotted and followed every waking moment of their life the minute they leave their house, like Kanye West might. It's also a life you can drop entirely one day on a lark, unlike being Kanye West.

I mean, PewDiePie remarked several times over the years of moving house because his fans would regularly stalk him to find his address.

I think they have it better in this specific regard because their fans are younger and therefore have more limited resources, but that wouldn't help me personally sleep much better at night.
