"Influencers" are really just another form of marketing. Companies like them because they're deemed "relatable" by their target demographic, so said target is more receptive.
If you're paying attention to influencers and buying products because of them, you're just doing what those companies want.
@tk Influencers have replaced critics because they have nothing bad to say about the products they're paid to promote. They are used on social media and TV ads, and it seems to have affected the decision-making process of people I know. One time a relative tried to buy a product that didn't exist.
Let Logan Paul be the prime example of why influencers are snake oil salesmen that seek riches from people who 'trust' them. Dumb fucks for falling for MLM 2.0.
@thatbrickster@tk there was some moron on the front page of youtube the other day that was saying that all the stupid limitations of the latest macbooks like only two screens is a "win" for apple
@Moon@tk@thatbrickster "no bro you don't understand, display controllers take a ton of die space"
I don't give a fuck how much die space they use, I had a Ryzen 4800U miniPC that could drive four 4k outputs and I am not going to pretend I'm not disappointed that my M1 Macbook Air is locked to one internal display + one external display just because Apple wanted some more product segmentation.
