I never understood how people like this got that title. They don't influence shit, except maybe consumerism and the dumbing down of society.
They influence the people watching them.
So they have no influence except for the ways that they do?
it's actually already a sales term in ABM - you have the decision maker, blocker, influencer, end user/stakeholder etc
the term has been around longer than the internet
You sound smart I guess you must be an influencer
They pander to the less informed, shove confirmation bias into everything, and pretend to sound like an 'expert" on what they spew. Basically a con artist. And they really want to be famous, but have zero talent. Again, con artist.
