TIL some people literally call themselves “influencers.” Like in their profile description and on their website… they give themselves the title “influencer.”

I literally thought it was purely an external label that became a pejorative.

Thankfully, when self-applied it seems to be a pretty reliable filtering mechanism

Clout chasers, psychos in disguise 🎶

Worse yet: a "career path".

You are not an influencer, but still you are influencing mine and many journeys.. 💜

If anyone calls me an influencer they get blocked 🤣

It’s such a ridiculous and arrogant term.

If anybody manages to change your mind on this point, does that make them an influencer?

Asking for a friend!

How else would you know they're desperate for business

You're my second favorite influencer

🤣🤣 would you say, there is a second best?

Semantics. Words can get highjacked. E.g. i think "sovereign" got passed to the wrong hands

I also cringe when someone says "Oh, I have a GREAT idea!"

Just tell us the idea and we'll let you know if it's great
