It's so strange to hear people calling themselves an influencer, like they're bragging about their ability to psychologically manipulate people (whether to sell the shit they're being paid to pretend to like, or just for good old power tripping)

That's why i hate that word so much. "I am/want to be an influencer" is such a weird phrase but it's an acceptable phrase for a lot of them. What do you trying to influence people with? Science? Math? Arts? Creativity? But no, it's purchasing choice.
