I mean, it’s not really a horrible idea, so long as it’s not being used to promote propaganda. (Which considering the source- it is)
Influencers are fucking horrible. Popularity should not default to trustworthiness. Remember: it was this type of thing that led to the idea that vaccines cause autism.
Gating influencers behind having even a bachelor ya degree in whatever field they’re teeing to bullshit people into buying, will cut down on the amount of ignorance spread as a result.
Influencers are trustworthy only because they’re influencers. They usually have no knowledge about jack shit aside from what they can get for free for advertising for it.
Under no circumstances should anyone calling themselves an “influencer” be trusted.
