The City’s First “Quiet Influencer” Claims Silence Is the New Sound

In an unexpected pivot from typical influencer behavior, 29-year-old Cara DeLune has announced herself as the world’s first “Quiet Influencer.” Her content, posted across multiple muted platforms, consists primarily of uncaptioned videos of her sitting silently in various cafes, forests, and waiting rooms.

“I realized people were tired of being told things,” DeLune whispered during a recent interview conducted entirely through nods. “So I decided to influence through absence.”

Her followers—known collectively as “the Unspeaking”—communicate using a code of blinking emojis and ambient sighs. Brand partnerships have been challenging, but a meditation app has reportedly offered to sponsor her “existence.”

Asked about future plans, DeLune gestured softly toward the horizon and simply mouthed, “less.”
