tompoland Their job is to influence, but that is not why they are influencers! They are there to promote themselves in the never ending circle of the more content, the more subscribers and views, then the larger the income source.
Several years ago there was some YT wannabee’s in the States. They decided that YT was the way forward. Both unemployed, thicker than pig
so they came up with a ruse. Having recently watched a Clint Eastwood cowboy film, he had a heart made of iron hidden under his poncho. He was shot several times and of course, the bullets just bounced off. So, not being able to afford a heart of iron they decided to use a thick book. They then procured a handgun and decided to livestream on their YT channel, her shooting him. She got six months

So, an influencer has a channel and his aim is to have as many sub’s and as much traffic as they can, AT ANY PRICE. Other folks like @DavecUK and The Wired Gourmet are more engineering based and their reviews are actually factual and informative…….strange how they do not have the same viewing or subscription figures eh!
