That is a fun take on "projection." :-) I expect to see a lot more of this with the wide availability of GAN driven image networks that can change faces/voices etc. Its like autotune for looks. Given how he was found I expect a software update that removes an person image in a mirror making them effectively vampires :-).
For the youngsters in the crowd, we used to have these phone numbers you could call where you could be connected with a "sexy woman who would talk to you and fantasize with you." Guess what, the only requirement for the job was "sexy voice" not actually being all that sexy. Poor chaps paying $1/minute to have phone sex with 45 - 50 year old women who not only have sexy voices but know a thing or two about sex.
"Influencers" are, as a money making entity, in the same genus as phone sex, product salespeople, and actors. They are there to create an attractive illusion that increases sales/market activity around an attached product.

In Germany a lot of these services ran the ads in a dual way: The big number advertised was for men to call and cost money, and then somewhere in the corner was a number that was free to call for women. They didn't really screen that women number, teenage boy me had no problems at all getting connected to poor guys paying per minute, anybody could just call there as long as their voice sounded high-pitched/female enough.
