    Nope: mid 30s, politically progressive, software engineer.

    I don’t like people who make a living off of simply “being famous” either - e.g. the kardashians.

    I understand exactly what an influencer is and does. I just don’t like what they do, because the vast majority of what successful influencers do is to aggressively perpetuate some of the worst aspects of social media, as well as rampant consumerism and unbounded capitalism in general.
