re: Conservative influencers are the biggest problem for the GOP

A grifter is a con man or a swindler. When I started to see on-line "influencers" or social media voices being labeled as grifters, it seem most of them were being accused of being fake - or taking on a persona and opinions that were not their own to make money in the online sphere. But it is now being applied to ANYONE who is online spouting opinions, especially those that are very popular or have lots of followers, etc. Most of these people are in no way grifters, by any known definition.

You’ve seen that because every single person who makes a living giving their opinions on the internet, or in media generally, is in fact a fake piece of shite.

Every single one of them are just saying whatever they thing will win them clicks and thus money.

Hasn’t everyone always known that?
