An influencer is someone that influences people, usually teenagers.
Influencers and creators are not mutually exclusive. You can be both. That said, most influencers I know don't create anything and most kids who want to be influencers are not thinking about creating something of value, only about doing stupid things in front of a camera and getting money from sponsors.
An influencer, not so long ago, advertised some sports drink by saying it was better than water because water doesn't hydrate you. Then she went on a rant about how she doesn't want to use a mask and will refuse the vaccine. Make sure your kids don't follow every stupid influencer out there.
- deregulateMed 5y agoIt's the modern era, we have science. Influencers are modern day priests who sell potential happiness. It's best to teach people not to Trust humans, we have misaligned incentives and can be incorrect. The alternative is using objective quality metrics and science. I dream of a future where marketing is taboo because it exploits human psychology.
- slightwinder 5y ago> That said, most influencers I know don't create anything They create Social Media-Content. A selfy, a tweet, even a posting in some forum, they all are content. It's usually cheap content, but still content. And better influencers have also some higher quality of content, with a video, stream, a blog-article or podcast. > only about doing stupid things in front of a camera and getting money from sponsors Having a job that you can enjoy and have fun seems not the worst thing.
