From the outset I'll state I fucking hate influencers.

Every day I seem to come across stories of self entitled influencers being self entitled asking for, nay demanding goods and services for free in return for a mention on their channel; or demanding us 'normal' folk make way for them as they make a f'n nuisance of themselves in some crowded situation.

So I was somewhat surprised when a lesser Facebook friend (a remote family member) suggested I followed an influencer.

So I had a look.

This influencer had a fair number of followers, couple of thousand (I know some have many times that) , impressive I thought as in a kinda sarcastic way. I then looked at a few of these followers and discovered they were influencers too and guess what? As I went down this rabbit hole finding a non influencer followers was becoming the thing 😆

Fuck em!
