Why the fuck do these influencers exist.
to help expose people with tourette’s to those who don’t know what people with tourette’s live like so that more people can treat them with dignity.
When I read “influencer” I read it as like “grifter”. I concede what you’re describing may not be bad.
Yeah. Think of it like this : influencer is a broad stroke term for basically, internet celebrity. They are able to influence people within the audience they have built for themselves, and are aiming to get their influence to more people to say something.
Now, they usually make money by lending that voice to companies in exchange for money. But, some are doing it to further other agendas, positive or negative.
And sometimes, there’s a synergy. For example, Northernlion can be seen as an indie games influencer. Sometimes, companies pay him to play a game during a stream. He’s upfront about the sponsorship, but it can be an interesting game to want to play. And sometimes, he doesn’t know what game to play, since he streams most days as a regular ass job. So the “paid suggestion” helps him fill the time.
Others are not so scrupulous, and are exploitative.
If you replace the word influencer by religion etc your post could belong to a history community
ow the edge
Because people with tourettes also have right to be content creators if they want to be?
So it was Munchausen’s by internet?
