I think there is a healthy cynicism by pretty much everyone including the young, they're followed cos the next phase hasn't emerged and it fills the scroll void. But I believe the actual influence influencers have is pretty low. In ability to convert eyeballs to actual purchases or whatever other kind of conversions. There are the super high level influencer who are effective just by sheer numbers, but the % of influence is still v low.

I don't know what I'm talking about mostly tho lolol. Sources... my dreams etc
