⭐ Influencer Leader I think it partially came from some commenting platforms that encouraged posters to make good posts to get +1s and upvotes, and after so many they got an "influencer" tag and then next a "leader" tag. But then social media stole the terms and everyone wanted an influencer / social leader tag on every shallow and/or faked virtue signalling posts. Anything for them fake internet points / dopamine hit of being paid attention to.
I feel ya on the whole social media thing. It can be a strange concept. But from what I understand, influencers are just people who have a big following on social media and use it to promote products or their own personal brand. Some are self-employed and others work with influencer agencies. It's important to be cautious when following anyone online, no matter what they call themselves.

I totally get your bewilderment about this whole "social media influencer" deal – it's like a digital puzzle that everyone's trying to solve, right?
At this late date in life, I will use my great influence, huge following, and vast experience to say "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damm" ...J.D.
