I don't look down on influencers, they're doing something that make sense given the incentives. I look down on a society that has made "influencer" a category. Back in the day, we made fun of people who were "famous for being famous", to me that's where it started. We have always had influencers , we just used to call them "entertainers" and they didn't deliberately use their status to influence. And when they did, we generally just told them to fuck off.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, now get off my lawn.
