Tim’s take
His baseline view is that influencers are a hollow, transactional class — people who fake relationships to game algorithms, market fake lifestyles, and stick phones in restaurant workers' faces, which he calls sociopathic and compares to AI 46:04 1:09:33 5:30 4:06 7:09 21:29. He also uses the word as a punchline for anything absurd, from a trio earnestly explaining what an influencer is to the Pope naming a teenage "God's influencer" saint 11:40 51:22.
