"Influencer" is an abbreviation of their real title: Influencer of idiots with peanut brains.

People like you and I aren't influenced by people like her because we live with higher levels of brain function than the people who are influenced by her and the likes of her.

 

[Seed tick]

I totally agree with Maggot I’m sorry she died but who the hell was she! I thought I was the only one without a clue.

 

[Thorny]

Duh, she was the one everyone asks to turn stuff off and on, in their house.

 

[DOA]

An influencer is a freeloader with a social media presence.

Not ugly female found dead, makes for click bait headlines.
That's how it rates national "news"
Clicks = advertisement impressions = worth putting up on your "news" site...

A person who's found their niche at producing/being click-bait and getting paid.

The sad thing about influencers is that they make a shit ton of money telling morons what is best for them.

Where do I sign up. I need a shit ton of money.

Start a channel on Youtube and start spouting nonsense on a daily basis. It has to be some type of self improvement garbage though.

 

[Alphatreedog]

Beer and Bewbs are my favorite influencers .

Let’s not pretend that we all don’t have influencers on the intertoobs that we follow in some way...Frank Galli being candidate numero uno. F-classJohn, Erik Cortina, Brian Litz.

they may not be hot young women but we look for their opinions and advice on our topics of interest nonetheless. Higher levels of brain function. Jeezus.

Frank, Litz et al are ‘influencers’?? They’re subject matter experts, and that’s a difference with a distinction. Influencers are personalities, and sometimes barely that. Media types such as Anderson Cooper are more akin to influencers.

DOA hit the nail squarely on the head. There is a group of people with social media accounts that have attracted huge followings. They use their large numbers of followers to entice vacation destinations to give them free lodging in return for good reviews. Of course, the obverse is a potential bad review going viral on insta-snap-book if they don’t get their way. An “influencer” is- literally- a freeloader with a following.

Not true. There is zero persons that I follow on any site whatsoever. I might follow a thread or particular site of my hobby interest but to follow a person specifically? Absolutely not. The why is pretty simple... What I think and what I say is by far more important than what you think or what anybody else thinks and says...lol.

Influencers are for the morons that can't think for themselves, need justification from somebody else's opinion , have little backbone and very little self-esteem. Don't confuse that with somebody that is an authority in their field.... and no, I don't follow them either. But, I'm a educate myself on a particular topic they have knowledge about.

Sounds like a politician. Hmmmmmmm

Total waste of fucking time; their goal is to look like a SME without actually being one and usually have a outcome in mind beforehand as they are paid by someone in one way or another.

It's gotten to the point that you can trust 'influencers' about as much as you can trust reviews on Amazon. Mainly for the same reason.

I've dealt with a few initially when getting started up 1-2 years ago. None got past my initial phone call as I could tell right away that in reality, they knew somewhere between jack and shit opposed to what they present, and one of them was like the worst kind of needy escort where everything circled right back around to how much is she getting paid, yet she couldn't put 1 coherent sentance together about what we're doing.

If someone tells me they're an influencer, I go straight to, 'ah, youre an instagram THOT'. BTW porn is free, so you're kind of irrelevant.

 

[Chingon]

NutnFancy, Hickok45 , funker530, best11x, Iraq Vet 8888 would all be influencers you might know. Except these guys don't have a nice set of tits.

The only one I recognize is Hickok 45. I always thought of him as a 'reviewer'. By your standard, most any review of anything then could be called influencing....or call a spade a spade, sales. The methods of payment just dont come in a check. As much as anything youre selling yourself, your image.

 

[MtnCreek]

Yeah the only one I know is hickok45 and the only reason I've heard of him is because he videoed himself putting a bullet through his leg. Honestly, he took it pretty good.

 

[2aBaC̶a̶]

Don't hate the players, hate the game.

Influencers are anyone who has influence on the internet by making content and having significant amount of followers on social media. All walks of life have influencers whether they claim the title or not.

 

[TheHorta]

I like turtles.

 

[Davesnothere]

Instagram influencer. Someone who shows her tits.

 

[Ridgeback80]

Sounds like a politician. Hmmmmmmm

100% , Barack started as an "Influencer" and then a community organizer !

 

[b2lee]

@TheGerman influenced me to 'Not Be A Poor!'. So I bought all high end equipment without crying about it. However, now I'm poor....but I'm happy as I can be with all my stuff!!! Can someone spar a burger?....I'm soooo hungry.

The hide exists because of Frank’s authority, knowledge and relationship to his audience. A million people in this niche actively engage with Frank through his podcasts and comments on this forum. Frank manages a relationship with brands to achieve everyone’s marketing objectives (the entire “no bs bc” series which was terrific but often a very apparent marketing play that seemed entirely coordinated by everyone involved).

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I don’t know shit about a lot of things that Frank is an expert on so when he gives Litz free airtime to talk about what’s important and how Berger will sell it to me, I listen closely.

Aside from a few noob pudknockers, Frank Galli gets the following he has from knowledgeable people who can recognize a legitimate subject matter expert and give his statements their due weight and consideration.

The type of "influencer" this thread is about is about as far as you can get from Frank Galli.

 

[HeavyAssault]

She was like 26...."hubby" 49......hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If, like me, you don’t use facial book, or tweety bird, or any of the other idiocy that seems to exist for the millions of fools that feel the need to “belong”, just so they can bare their souls to millions of just-as-stupid unknown morons, then you probably don’t know what an Influencer is. I thought an Influencer was a bottle of Jack or a nice Fat One. I should have been hatched in the mid 1800’s

 

[Aaros143]

I think your thinking of Tex Grebner.

 

[myronman3]

.....facial book.....

as i explained elsewhere, i had to have social media accounts 10 years ago so i could test internet filtering policies at work.
we only allowed HR and marketing to access them (and some executives that were not restricted at all).
i still use fakebook because family too far to visit often post pictures and videos there.
my twitter account was not used between 2011 and 2017, when i started participating in the "great awakening", which is basically flooding social media with "based" news, opinion and memes (anything democrat globalist scum don't want anyone to see).
i have accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers that follow my stupid ass, just in case i tweet something they didn't see.

i understand folks don't like social media, but without it, virtually nobody would know about hunter's laptop, or half the schiff the dems are doing.

 

[theLBC]

example, if i can catch a fresh post from CNN, and be one of the first replies....
i post this

Let us not forget who destroyed decades of progress in race relations and respect for police in eight short years.

Most say race relations worsened under Obama, poll finds | CNN Politics

A majority of Americans say relations between blacks and whites in the US have worsened under President Barack Obama, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

or something else that makes them look like idiots.

This ^^. They are people who make a lot of money from clicks by people with no self-esteem and no life who live vicariously thru others....many of who are superficial morons.

I have never been influenced once by ANYBODY on social blather....and specifically IG, Twitter, and Fuckbook.
