One user, @AKANJIROLE, expressed her frustration, saying:

"Hhayi, this trend of influencers getting acting jobs is really frustrating! What about the people who went to school for acting?"

Another user, @YourFaveGodDoll, echoed similar sentiments:

"Yoh, what about all those kids who go to acting academies with the dream of becoming actors? Do they not deserve opportunities just because they don't 'trend' or aren't part of social media drama?"

@AsaSitole summed up the general mood by stating:

"We live in disastrous times. It feels like one bad decision after another."

@DakaloMosima added her two cents:

"Lol, but there’s definitely someone more deserving out there. Giving acting gigs to TikTokkers just isn’t fair to those who actually studied drama. 🙄"

And finally, @Loco_FiestaZA dropped a critique of the industry as a whole:

"The South African writers are getting lazy. This habit of casting influencers as actors and recycling the same actors over and over again is slowly killing the film industry. The last time I truly enjoyed a South African film was when they released 'Tsotsi.' 🔥"
