True, within one platform thats quite clear. I'm wondering if there are other relevant platforms for that then facebook or instagram
It depends on what you mean by influencer. Are you measuring influence by number of followers? I'd say think again. Way too many people on Twitter and Medium writing about things they clearly have no experience in.

Speaking of which, I was contacted by a collaborator of someone I respect very much inviting me to be a guest a few hours ago and I was embarrassed that they even thought of me in the first place because I'm not legitimate. I felt horrible, as if I had mislead them into thinking I had anything interesting to say. I apologized for that. That's how much Influvirgins get on my nerve and just the fleeting moment I was one bothered me.

Sex [get any woman in your bed], money [get rich with this plan], fitness [get ripped listening to this tape], machine learning [I'm a two year old AI enthusiast], all have these big mouthed weasels talking the talk.
