According to a well-placed source, YouTube star Bethany Mota is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the fashion designer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Mota for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 28-year-old fashion designer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Mota so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the fashion designer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Los Banos Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Los Banos (Bethany Mota's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the fashion designer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Bethany Mota Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 18 Apr 2024
“Congrats! Bethany has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 18 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Bethany Mota?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 18 Apr 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Bethany Mota?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
