Default Any facebook influencers here?

If so, how did you get to be one?

Can I just declare myself an influencer? How's anybody gonna check?

Okay, you need "followers" . . . but see, I'm the influencer who influences people not to be followers! Yeah, that's the ticket!

Hire me now for your next motivational retreat - I guarantee results!

Cool No "influencer" here!

Facebook has been "erased" from my lifestyle.

Not an "influencer," nor an "influencee."

I’ve been on Facebook for over 11 years, and I had no idea that there was such a thing as an ‘influencer’.

I base what I do on FB on the rules we have here. Be nice, and avoid the third rails. It can be quite a pleasant place to hang out with family, and keep in touch with old friends. I’m not sure where else I’d go to do such things.

The broader issue with the platform and social media in general is beyond the scope of this discussion

I don't even have any influence in my own house, so I definitely am not influencing anyone else.

I thought Facebook was yesterday's news. Instagram is the social media platform of choice for would be influencers.

Can we go back to a time when social media didn’t exist?
Facebook= “so, enough about me, what do you think of me?”

I'm on FB to spread the word on the few gigs Rokdog and I play. If I spend any more time than that minimum on it I it lowers my already cynical view of humanity.

My daughter has 2,750 subscribers on You Tube, 1,450 followers on Facebook and over 41,000 on Instagram.

I think I have 11, 9 and 14 respectively...

Never been on FB, never tweeted and no clue how Instagram even works. So I'm going to say no, I am not an influencer.....

Facebook and Instagram, a necessary platform for me, like Amazon. It is just a fact of life. I'm not an influencer by any means, just trying to get by in the twenty first-year of the twenty-first century. I do most of my marketing on social media. Anyway, there is a show on Netflix called Emily in Paris that is about an Instagram influencer working for a Paris advertising agency. It is a fun show if you aren't a real serious person.

Lol, here we are, on the 1999 version of social media, complaining about the 2004 version.
