In other words, they are freelance advertisers, used by corporate entities due to the shifting sand under their feet. It doesn't 'feel' like advertising in the same way that a scripted, slick, multi-media commercial does. I have a few Logic gurus whom I watch on YT, but I get very wary when they start endorsing 3rd party plugins or hardware.mgw38 wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 9:06 pm“Influencer” is a millennial term for somebody who collects followers for a living.

They influence in the sense that they can deliver marketing messages to target audiences.

Imo, it's a question of recognizing a far more subtle advertising approach that passes for info/tainment. When we know we are being bombarded with information concocted to sell us something, we can prime ouselves in various ways to resist the manipulation. In this context, we aren't sure if we are witnessing a demo/heart-felt opinion, or...something else. And it doesn't even need to be by design of the person demo-ing a product.vurt wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 3:29 pmdo gear demo channels count?Bombadil wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 3:22 pmIn other words, they are freelance advertisers, used by corporate entities due to the shifting sand under their feet.

OP, it’s easy enough to work out if you’re truly interested. It’s basically a formula based on views and subscribers.
To give some numbers I know a car YouTuber with ~300k subscribers and the annual income estimate is between £60k and £90k.

This is probably the best description so far, and I think many people don’t see this as they are caught up in the bullshit just as much as any idiot who went round saying “Wazaaaaaaaaaaaaap!”, not realizing they were doing (highly annoying) subliminal advertising for Budweiser.Bombadil wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 3:22 pm In other words, they are freelance advertisers, used by corporate entities due to the shifting sand under their feet.

There are a very few YT channels that I subscribe to, and those that I do have very little focus on being ‘influencers’. For example, I subscribe to the channel of a Bangladeshi guy who gives free bansuri lessons. I commented a thank you, and his response was to thank me for taking the time to say thank you for the lessons. Humility is a far better trait than ego in my book.

someone (usually really annoying) who gets given free stuff, to basically advertise on YT, IG etc, and "influence" you into buying it.

I thought it was something one usually gets around winter that makes you sneeze a lot.

I'm really surprised we haven't heard one name here yet, Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.
