#yestr and one can be influenced by many
The difference to me is between having influence, or aspiring to be an influencer.
Yeah but individuals like you, whether you want to admit it or not, and especially jack, your words hold more weight than your average pleb.
Just my two sats
This is the whole point of a marketplace of ideas. One's status and wealth is often used as an ad hom. That's what calling someone an influencer has become.

its also something I have no control over. I mean I guess I could stop building stuff, stop posting and go live in the jungle, but I love interacting online. its a lot of fun and I learn a lot from different people's perspectives.
Yep!! Another word for it is "person"

Doesn't change a thing
There’s a difference between an influencer and an influencoor
Plus that doesn't make you suddenly an influencer. It just makes you somewhat more influencing. We can't categorize it as a bad thing and we can draw arbitrary thresholds but that doesn't change the fact that everyone is an influencer.
No one is saying you should stop doing stuff just think its disengenious to not acknolwege that there arent levels to it ya know.
Being a public figure in any capacity comes with responsibility. But using the term “influencer” has become a way to try to discredit non-technical bitcoiners who maybe think more along economic or philosophical lines.
I’m not saying I agree with them all, and there’s certainly some charlatans. But I respect those who are thinking deeply about the cultural layer of bitcoin.
Scientists ignore philosophy at their peril.
Lately it's a bogey man blamed for brigading or creating drama, by those who don't like criticism and refuse to accept that a lot of people might genuinely disagree with them.

I might be more influential than I know or want to admit.

No one wants you to stop sharing your opinion, everyone should make their opinion known!, thats the beauty of this protocol, that no one cant shut you up.! That being said we have to acknowledge that some are more influencial than others
I'm not an influencer is just shorter way of saying I'm small, tiny and completely insignificant influencer and my influence is minute.
There are a lot of aspiring influencers in this space who have never built or done anything that wasn’t in service of expanding their own influence.
That’s the distinction for me.
In my mind, an influencer is someone who is paid or receives some kind of benefit from a third-party to promote something whether they like it or not. (they are biased, have weak morals, are disingenuous, and often have ulterior motives). Someone who is genuinely passionate, knowledgable, experienced about something can also influence others but it’s rooted in honesty and authenticity. The hard part is discerning between the two types of “influence”.
Last night I was thinking what you're saying now. I couldn't agree with you 🫸🫷

Be your own influencer
This is leadership at the dev level. So proud to be associated with this kind of quality humanity.

Ladies and gentlemen, jb presents to you:
the converse error logical fallacy
“Dictators tell people what to do. And everyone has told someone what to do at some point, so everyone is a dictator.”
Yeah…. Nah, brah. Nah.
I prefer to be called *impacter”.
yeah definitely, but maybe its not too bad if they can influence people to join nostr even if they are not technical or have accomplished much. onboarding is our biggest weakness, so if they can bring a lot of people onboard that would be a big accomplishment in my eyes!
The word “influential” is so distorted that now we normalize that certain people do any activity that borders on stupidity and we call it “influencer”
Yup
Theory is simple: If you can influence anyone with words and presence then you are influencer.
Numbers doesn't matter, even if you can influence one person then you're influencer.
I can't imagine that will go away, it will just take on different forms. right now its being optimized into short clips with hooks.
Hit like for more content it really helps
i think being anti-influencer is just another form of influencer xD
I AM AN INFLUENSOR

We all influence someone. Some just have more influence and reach than others.
archetypes revealing themselves to me in my dreams
Truth bomb.
Just need more “community-building digital creators”
CBDCs for short 😅
Reach is more important that most realize.
The lack of reach proved costly for Nikola Tesla ... who then had to suffer the ignominy of seeing some of his better inventions getting copied (stolen) by others ... allowing them to steal the limelight, plaudits, and material benefits.
But not everyone is getting paid to influence 🤷♀️
We're all influencers because words matter.
Maybe go back to the good old fashioned word: role model 🧡
Apsire to inspire.

You’re always influencing someone….the only question is to what end.

The problem is if you don’t want to be an influencer and you say “no” people don’t know how to take “no” for a fucking answer
This is wrong and I'm going to repeat it until everyone believes me.
What time are you doing your "How to take no for a fucking answer" live stream again?
I'm gonna hit the like and click the bell.
Influencer is just another word for sales person in the modern connotation
happy to see this. maybe it's the fear of not being acknowledged for the influencing so rather not say you're one 😶😐
You're just desperate to convince yourself that you're an influencer 😉
Good idea but "influencer" all too often tend to be guns for hire in the information warfare. Yes, sure, they are kind of role models but others try to bend them to multiply their messages, sadly corrupting many of them in the process.
the only different is only the reward . social media influencer get Monetized or reward from the content their produced to influenced public , while the one who is not monetised , I don't considered it as influencer rather just personal opinion .
what about the word ‘inspired’? As in, you might see 10 influencers in your daily scroll but no one makes you feel inspired.
will is on a one man crusade to rescue the “Influencer” brand.
I think we all want to have an impact in the world and influencers measure their impact in likes and follows but liking a funny cat video can't compare with running the software an engineer made. The engineer who contributed to that software changed the world more per software use than the person who re-packaged the same old cat video collection for the hundreds time changed the world per reproduction or like.
Before, humanity was inspired by books, art, music, and was influenced to create, investigate, learn.
Today is like looking for a needle 🪡
really? I find a lot of inspiration from music, books, certain subreddit and instagram activity… my partner is also finding amazing math resources via youtube and AI.
There *are* times when ‘noisy’ stuff can be a downer. … but I think it’s also relatively easy to avoid.
I think a good way is to start with a few people or things you really admire, and go from there. Keep things limited.
I’m more traditional. But I agree with you, you have to look for 🔍 inspiration. Although it’s a more complicated day.
who is this ‘Will’ you speak of?
I was reading an essay on a Jane Austen book (by Tony Tanner), and based on how he is describing the societal changes Jane Austen was writing about, it sounds like it’s been complicated ever since the Industrial Revolution. 😓🤷🏻♀️
But it does seem like a lot of people on Nostr are figuring out their own choices for simple living.
Life is simple. Or that’s what I want to believe 😌
