Surprisingly, people follow attractive people because they want to see photos of attractive people and not because they wonder what tea they drink

I watch the Super Bowl for the (american) football, but the TV commercials are still effective. Much of advertising is just reminder that the product exists. Effective not because I buy what Tom Brady buys. "Influencers" are just "content providers" to get the views.

Anecdotally, influencing can work in certain product categories (clothes, makeup) where you would want some authoritative source to demonstrate that something looks as good as advertised.

I try to follow attractive people at times on there, but I quickly end up unfollowing them once I find that the misleading fame has gone to their head... Most of these "influencers" only post selfies or product promos and it gets really boring after 3-4 images. :(
