Well written article and KARMA for this lady.
Waaaaaahh!! I'm important and people make decisions based on what I say and do! If you don't believe me just ask me. I want what I want and I won't take no for an answer for what I want for free.
This is what I get from hearing about influencers. I see pictures in stories about them and the prevailing themes seem to be vanity, self absorption, ego mania, and wanting lots of people to pay attention to them and what they say and do. Maybe I'm missing something. This influencer trend seems to be part of the entitlement generation and wanting everything for free given to them by the govt. or someone else. The influence any of them have on me is about as much as the influence i get from the rock in my back yard. I like to think I'm intelligent enough and have enough common sense to make up my own mind and in the right way.

Really, "influencers" are just self employed ad agencies. problem is that the barrier to entry to be an influencer is much much much lower than owing an ad agency.
To put that bar any lower would take a shovel...
Like it or not, it is right there. Tech has allowed for very low barriers to entries for many jobs. Film, photography, audio/recording, art, design, etc.
Absolutely right on, This is what we have enabled by "Participation Trophies" early on, a sense of entitlement, not having to work toward anything...
Be careful, a rock from your back yard could have a significant influence on you if someone chucked it at you.
