Influencer = Advertiser
Audience = subscribers/ number of clicks
Harley Davidson = manufacturer
sales = profit

Influencer + Audience = sales
Manufacturer + sales = profit
= opinion

If we can just find the guy who posted the first fixed camera position on lower left fork while riding a tree covered 2 lane with no dialogue just 8-10 minutes of either Highway to Hell or On the Road Again.

My influence came from passion, now my arthritis influenced my Tri Glide Purchase.

This was my generation's version of a motorcycle social influencer. It worked really well

There is NO qualification, NO certification, there is NOo NOTHING that validates and "influencer" has any idea they know their *** from their elbow.

So, I looked it up and found THIS.

For me, "influencer" means.:

1. Likely an unqualified BS artist that has 1 or more participation trophy/ies.

2. And NOT someone I would want to be in a foxhole with. F THAT!

Agree. I enjoy The Bike Show, Lamb Chop Rides, TheMissendenFlyer, Big Rock Moto, MOTOBOB, Different Spokes TV, V-Told, Srkcycles, MCN and a few others. And yeah, there are 30 others that don't know a pushrod from a fishing rod.
