This is seeing influencers based on a very narrow definition. Similar to proclaiming Reddit is a far left cesspool when in reality that is a tiny fraction of Reddit.
There are tons of influencers that give solid information and reviews and while there are probably some weak-minded people that blindly follow their advice the majority use their information as part of their decision making process.
A few well known influencers in their subject matter
Michael Jones aka Garrand Thumb guns
Erin Erin's Audio Corner and Amir Audio Science review both have well over $150k in test equipment and use Audio Precision analyzers and Klipppel Near Field Scanners to give the most accurate and precise measurements of speakers and electronics of anyone out there including the major magazines
The Hook Up gives excellent reviews on electronics, especially projectors
Andrew Morgan, Ariel Adams, and Ben Clymer. All are influencers in the wristwatch space.
The list is endless
Influencers aren't just people like the Kardashians. There are tons of people that are highly respected (plenty not so much) in their niche who meat the definition of an influencer.

I’ve been influenced to not use Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok.

The "lifestyle brands" have really capitalized on "influencers". Yeti and Traeger come to mind. In fact, the whole barbecue/smoking online community is a perfect example of "influencers" being successful. I left them out of the list in my other post.

I think the amount of people social media influencers actually influence isn't that big. A lot of their followers are out of hate or morbid curiosity.

That depends entirely on your definition of "influencer". I can promise you the people selling advertisement and putting together promo deals have a much broader definition of "influencer" than you.

Which is a good point. You mentioned the BBQ community and I feel like at least most of those folks are producing product either through cookbooks, sauces, running restaurants.
To me, the shitty “influencer” is the chick who thinks because she netted a bunch of followers for being hot should get free shite everywhere she goes.

And stupid kids. When I was a kid the Beatles were an overnight sensation and all the boys through their Brylcreem in the garbage and switched to bangs .

Simple minded people and their children.

I like to watch the tech influencers on YouTube such as Brownlee I learn quite a bit from them

It’s not much different than any commercial on tv. There is enough research to show that commercials have an effect on shopping trends. It is relatively inexpensive to produce and actually reaches the target market.

People with zero personal intuition. They basically just copy other people.

Influencer is another name for “‘Attention Whore”.

When my 12 year old nephew was told I was going to costco yesterday he called me up to ask if I would buy him some chicken thing at the deli because something about seeing it on tictok. So I spent just over $3 buying two of them, one for his brother. So i'd say that he was influenced by someone to want one, which both said was good and was able to make two meals from...
