Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the role of the digital child influencer in the capital accumulation cycle. We will discuss the co-dependent and feedback relationship between influencers and followers through a set of practices that characterize them as subjects produced by contemporary ca-
pitalism. Our hypothesis is that the child influencers has become, along with the emergence of social media, the mascot in charge of performing a set of social practices that have as an effect the internalization of an economic reason prescribed by the need of accelerating the circulation of capital.
