In fairness those cars are beautiful, they haven’t been messed with

I am a shepherd, not a sheep

I am not a number.

Etc etc. Must be a very shallow sad existence for them

oh agreed.

thing is though if they repeat it to themselves often enough they can begin to believe their own hype.

in life those who can, do. Those who can’t, influence.

Yes, she is a selfish tw@t.

Yes, I find the whole influencer world weird (guess I am too old and not some twenty-something).

Yes, I understand it is a new form of marketing to the masses

I do like the idea of the individual having autonomy over what they endorse and their brand. Although I think some would sell their Gran, Jiffy Condoms etc, if they could make a few quid. Also, the market of influencers does seem very over saturated.

 

[Razzoo]

Bear in mind I am an old fogey now but social media and the digital/streaming age is making the youth impatient, narcissistic and full of their own self importance. The first generations to think, Hey lets turn the lens round and make it all about me.

Does anyone here actually follow these degenerates?

Flocking to Dubai, claiming it as work, then posting picture of themselves drinking Grey Goose and smoking pipes.

Whilst the rest of us stay put until it’s safe to do so and in line with the law. Funnily enough, Covid has spiked in Dubai.

How they call themselves influencers is beyond me. All self serving Pratt’s.

Are they within their rights? It is this another show of selfishness?

Maybe it’s just the nerves for tonight but felt the need to rant and see what everyone’s opinions were.

Looking at the responses so far, I don’t think you’ll need to put this to a poll.

Had a couple come in to my shop were on an all expenses paid weekend in Brighton at the Hilton. Paid for by the i360 on condition they gave a good review to their 1000's reading it. They were hinting at a discount from me as well.

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

To be influenced by these wastes of oxygen, you’d need to have an IQ somewhere south of 50

 

[AmexRuislip]

Influencers AKA twats.

Influenza AKA virus

They're not all selfish tosspots, in much the same way that not all football fans are brainless hooligans.

These ones are, no doubt.

Like it or loathe it, it's a job these days and as with any job you'll get some tossers and some not tossers.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

It's a good point and I couldn't agree more. In fact I was thinking exactly the same as I watched the sun slip below the horizon with my girlfriend earlier on today.

Did you hint that they should go forth and multiply?

Like it or not, some of these people make huge amounts promoting stuff to their "fans" the old days of advertising where you'd hope people were watching the TV between programmes have long gone! One click and millions can see a product now

[hoof hearted]

A lot of them go to Dubai as they have a 'sponsor' that pays for them to go to there. I'm sure you can all guess why!

 

[Acker79]

I can't be the only 40+ year old person who has spent some time in previous years enjoying watching QVC or those endless TV adverts that run on channels that don't start broadcasting proper programmes until a certain time in the morning? The gadgets, the mops, the collectors CDs, etc. Spending time watching those 'order now and we'll also throw in a set of steak knives' things are essentially precursors to the modern day influence. People who are paid to show us how great a product is so that we buy them, it's just these people do it via social media rather than the cheapest broadcast tv options.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Nah, it's just b*llox.

More 'look at me, me, me; I'm so special' narcissism from morons who live their whole lives via TikTok or their own YouTube channel.

How empty must people's lives (and heads) be in order to need these people to 'influence' them, because they're too dumb or lazy to think for themselves?

Yeah, that stupid woman in Dubai (?) interviewed on TV yesterday morning, with her skimpy bikini; "Ooh, I'm gonna show off my tits on TV - maybe an agent will invite me to become a Glamour Model or porn star."

She looked and sounded as thick-as-s*** - that squeaky husky 'likkle girl' voice that many young women think is sexy, and the equally annoying 'vocal fry'. A total airhead.

Sadly, this is the sort of talentless trash that a lot of kids look-up to as role models these days; measuring their worth by how many 'likes' or 'followers' they can attract for doing absolutely nothing of any social value or importance.

Yet more dumbing down, and worship of dross in our ethically-bankrupt society.

Spot on.
