I think people referring to people as creatives is more cringe. But its close.

No. Its just a new profession. They get paid by advertisers and those with a big following have a lot of influence in that regard. I dont know why people whine about this lol. Its just a term to set them apart from your typical movie star or musician celebrity.

It's probably because of the way they go about the advertising. It's so fake and forced.
I guess but, literally all advertising is lol.

My nephew showed me a video of this YouTuber called Mr. Beast that hes obsessed with. While he does gets crazy and crazy amount of views when I think of the term influencer I picture a activist/philanthropist whose trying to make the world a better place.

"is cringe" is incredibly cringey, but i don't know if i'd say it's the worst. influencer is probably up there, too, but there has to be worse out there.
Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!

You picked the one dude who actually does do a lot for the community and makes the world a better place lmao.
A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm.
