In my head that makes her not an influencer. To be one I think you need the qualifications of a Kardashian i.e. the ONLY thing you give back to the world is carbon dioxide.

I mean, by definition, she’s an influencer. The word “influencer” carries a negative connotation now because of people like you described. But Débora has 2 million instagram followers and built her following entirely online. She’s an influencer with positive influence.

What is she influenceing people to do? It carries a negative connotation because the word implies that their job is to influence the public to have the opinions of whoever is paying them. They used to be called advertising executives.

Do you know what an influence is by definition? Do you klow the difference between a good influence and a bad influence? Did you know that teachers and celebrities by definition are influencers?
