Influencers have always been fakes.

For real, at least this takes money away from those real bums

Anyone paying attention to “influencers” deserves to be robbed and duped.

Who else is gonna sell subscriptions to Ground News?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

They're pretty much financing all of YouTube at this point. I don't see how they can make enough money to pay for all those sponsorships by selling subscriptions.

Influencers are fake and vapid people by definition. Stupid people will follow them anyway, there is no difference.

Influencers who are people are worthless anyway
