I don't know if there is a reason why Jennifer Ringley (active 04/1996 – 12/2003) isn't mentioned in this article, as her pioneering 24-hour-lifecaster website "JenniCam" has garnered up to four million views daily back then. She appeared on the "Late Show with David Letterman", "The Today Show" and "World News Tonight With Peter Jennings". And she also appeared in more then 100 media outlets from "The Wall Street Journal" to "Modern Ferret" – which even makes her one of the first Petfluencers ;). She had a small role in the crime TV series "Diagnosis: Murder" as a fictionalized version of herself. She also hostet her own Internet talk show "The Jennishow" on The Sync. In 1999, clips from "The Jennishow" were included in the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition "Fame After Photography." – I really don't know how all that can not count for a status of an early Internet Celebrity. I think she should be mentioned. But as I am fairly new to Wikipedia-editing, I may miss something here, and maybe there is a reason for not including her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.164.115.15 (talk) 19:33, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

This edit by Wobuaichifan cites this reference:
which seems unlikely. The reference is behind a paywall, so I can't check, but it looks a bit odd. Wobuaichifan please check and confirm that this is what you intended. A quotation from the source would probably help. (Let me know if you need help including that quote in the citation.) Mitch Ames (talk) 01:33, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Internet celebrity, social media personality, and internet personality should be a separate article from social media influencer or influencer.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Based on successful consensus from the above proposal (whether that be through WP:SILENCE or not). I'm proposing to move Internet_celebrity#Influencers_and_marketing_networks section to Influencers#History as per this edit [1] from draft version.
The content is specifically about Influencers with only passing mention of Internet celebrity, that could be left in original article. This could then be replaced with a partial excerpt (suggested 1 paragraph) from Influencers history. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 14:18, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
