We're all influencers. Some of us just have an audience size of zero. Not that I like influencers or the whole industry, but I don't know what the difference is between any attractive/charismatic/creative online person and an influencer.

I thought the answer was money. If you are paid to push a product you are an influencer / advertiser. At least that's how I understood the term. This article is really about digital broadcasters and is not just about assuring tax collection which is what I had assumed this was about (and that's actually reasonable). This is about content control which just sounds completely awful.
