Nantucket's 'No Influencers' sign called sexist, "anti-women" by influencers (youtube.com)
Years ago on this blog we asked, 'WIll YouTubers become more hated than police?' (because police are like the most hated profession, in places where they do a lot of harm as well as good).
Are influencers in the same class as Flock?
Like police, influencers cause problems for people for their own / their company's benefit. They film people without consent, the do public stunds that involve non-willing participants, and their effect on society is degrading in general. Like police, this only refers to some but those some are enough to make it an issue. There are YouTubers and influencers who don't film strangers, and produce content, and police who don't abuse civil rights and protect the community from actual (not just legally indicated) harms. Also, their malpractice often psychologically causes them to dig in and adopt a position insensitive to the community members they effect.
