I find that the term “influencer,” as used today to be a coarse triviality, a lightweight pop culture phrase stolen from corporate sales jargon (“Are you pitching this to an Influencer, a Decision Maker or an Owner”?) Having sneered at that, and leaving aside dimwitted corporatespeak, if anyone influenced the pop culture world, it was David Bowie, nee Jones. (Place an accent grave over here the first “s” in “nee.”)

Who else is the term influencer used for these days, outside of folks on YouTube?
Satan is a bad influencer.
shareIt’s used by someone who wants you to think s/he knows whereof s/he speaks. We’ve no need to keep trying to invent new words when the vast majority of people do not know the meaning of the words we already have.
Eschew bullshit.
Except that unlike most of today's "influencers", Bowie actually influenced people!
