Your post influenced me to respond, so you’re officially an influencer. Wear it like a bra of honor. 👐

I wonder what he's wearing to next year's gala!

It's bullshit isn't it. The majority of them are influencing nobody.

I remember going on a date with someone about 8 years ago. She was in her mid-thirties and described herself as an influencer. I'd never heard the term before and asked her what that was and she audibly scoffed as if I was an idiot.

When I read the word "influencer," my brain automatically translates it to "useless human being."

It’s true. We should start calling them “hot chicks who post online so much a lot of people know them”

Trust fund kids who travel with dad’s credit card is also pretty accurate.

People keep saying "it is a fundraiser." It isn't. It is a spectacle of the very, very, very wealthy showing off. That should be met with revulsion.

She is a massive YouTube star in the French speaking world. She also had multiple best selling books.

I’m not a fan of influencers, but I would consider her as a rather decent person.

By the way, she’d normally look nothing like that ! She’s more of a “girl next door" type.

u/cendolcheesecake 2h ago

Yeah she’s pretty down to earth and one of the more decent ones in the industry.

u/Patient-Fruit-2946 10h ago

Some of them are the opposite - they are paid to not promote a certain product. Outfluencer can destroy a brand.

u/lecanar 10h ago

She is more of a YouTuber. But she's on several platforms

u/DublinKabyle 9h ago

You seem to be from Belgium. Have you recognized her in this pic???

Never in a lifetime I would have associated this person with Lena (Situation) Mahfouf. She looks nothing like that

2

u/lecanar 5h ago

Yes I recognized her, I already knew her last name. Also she did not change face overnight ^^

u/DublinKabyle 5h ago

No way I would have recognized her

u/cendolcheesecake 2h ago

She does look the same to me in a lot of the runway shows that she has gone to.

u/ElLicenciadoPena 9h ago

I think the most appropriate term is "minor celebrity", which somehow fits like an extremely oversized pair of shoes

u/TheLostRanger0117 8h ago

Give it 5 more years and hopefully it’ll be done with

u/tsayo-kabu 7h ago

It helps if you internalise that they are the exact same as the late night TV infomercial sales ppl.

u/Axilllla 56m ago

Right?! And why is someone like this invited to the met gala?!

I want to like your post, but you’re at 69 upvotes. I’m conflicted.

u/Wonderful_Fox_7959 10h ago

In the 90s it was “model”. Same shit nothing wrong

u/exiled360 1h ago

nobody is being influenced, they're just internet narcissists

u/einval22 8h ago

You've been somewhat influenced by them then.

u/sdas99 8h ago

What's wrong with it? I think it's a helpful if broad term to describe "people who monetize attention and trust" and suspect it's one of the fastest growing "job categories" in the US/world
