An Australian influencer\u2019s bid to start a union for content creators has sparked outrage online as she claims their jobs are \u201chard work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Veronica B, known for posting skits around cultural stereotypes and has more than 500,000 followers on TikTok, ranted in front of her peers and began making demands.<\/p>\n

The content creator has made headlines in the past talking about the gruelling hours that she works, but this rant has sparked the biggest outrage to date.<\/p>\n

With mic in hand talking to a crowd of around 100 other influencers, Veronica demanded respect from the wider public over the work they do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m kind of sick and tired of us influencers being treated as if we\u2019re a joke,\u201d she said at the event in Sydney.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deserve more rights and we deserve to be taken seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rant was labelled by some as \u201ctone deaf\u201d and others as \u201cinspiring\u201d, as she claimed that influencers are just as important as any other worker in society.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard work as content creators and influencers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout us I don\u2019t know how this world will survive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow will people know where to eat if we don\u2019t do restaurant reviews?<\/p>\n

\u201cHow will people know how to do their makeup if we don\u2019t do Get Ready With Me (videos)?<\/p>\n

\u201cHow will people know what to wear if don\u2019t do outfit hauls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her claims that people require social media influencers to eat and dress themselves was met with mixed reviews.<\/p>\n

The comedian then wrapped up the tirade saying that she had \u201cdecided to start an Australian Influencer Union.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comments had mixed opinions about her rant, with many point out that people managed to get by before social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we survived perfectly fine beforehand hahaha,\u201d one comment said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOoo get paid to post videos so hard my life ooo,\u201d another poked fun at the influencer.<\/p>\n

Some questioned the value of their work, with a comment saying: \u201cBut wtf have you contributed to society\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou literally are the voice not just for the viral ones but for the ones who are growing their page, or just simply want to share things on SM,\u201d a fan passionately said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a BOSS!!! Haha I love you girl, you\u2019re such a strong light.
