I'm curious and confused on the "influencer" part. My understanding was influencers are just people with "popularity" (manufactured users usually) pushing products in a "native ad" sort of way, never attributed it to general youtubers unless there's something about the creator I'm unaware of.

    I used the term loosely to include the average "YouTuber", a term I hadn't thought of. I tend not to watch any of them.

    Dismissing youtubers for being youtubers reminds me of people who dismiss all animation because "cartoons are for kids" or whatever. When I think of "influencer" I think of an instagram model who pushes products on their followers. "Youtuber" includes many content creators who devote hours into researching, writing, filming, and editing high quality, entertaining, and educational content.

    Jenny is on the low end of the spectrum in terms of basically all of those categories (I love her though), but channels like CaptainD, Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube and Folding Ideas create extremely high quality content that (in my opinion) surpasses educational content coming out of any studio.

    tl;dr: Dismissing youtube channels as "influencers" is narrow minded and may prevent you from enjoying content you would otherwise find to be of extremely high quality.
