The success of an influencer or artist lies in their ability to engage with their audience. Given the dire need for airtight content that instantly grabs attention, they prefer to have a click-oriented range instead of that which allows scrolling.

An editor is responsible for blending images with sounds to invoke feelings that sync with the mood of the content.
