Is this an argument against LTT being an influencer?
- LilBytes 4y agoI read it as an argument for LTT being an influence. Sorry, broke my own standards. LTT = Linus Tech Tips. YouTuber. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXuqSBlHAE6Xw-yeJA0Tunw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXuqSBlHAE6Xw-yeJA0Tunw
- refuse 4y agoWHO IS LTT
- nl 4y agoI think it is Linus Tech Tips. Unclear if the OP would prefer makeup recommendations from Linus over Kim Kardasian or if they just don't buy makeup.

- acomjean 4y agoLinus tech tips is a YouTube channel by some guy in Canada who reviews computers and other tech. It’s turned into a kind of mini channel with other reviewers. Not to be confused with “Linus” of Linux fame who doesn’t contribute to the channel.
- sandworm101 4y agoHaving influence is different than being an influencer. Influencers don't actually do anything beyond opinions. They review products in their living rooms, not at proper facilities employing dozens of people.
- teolandon 4y agoInfluencer is a category of people that ad agencies are interested in. It's anyone with a large enough audience and influence over it. They are of interest to ad agencies because an endorsement will turn into more buyers. Anything other than that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the influencer is a YouTuber who does their original research and tech breakdowns to give an informed opinion of a product, or if it's an Instagram model that is willing to hold a purse for a photo. Both, when paid to endorse a product, will influence people into buying that product. LTT's sponsor breaks in the middle of videos (that usually have nothing to do with the subject matter of the video itself) influence people into buying those products. So, LTT is an influencer.
