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.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

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.
