As A/I influencers look and sound more realistic, we may not be able to tell the difference at some point. #DigiBlogChat

Jim Katzaman - Persevering Writer@jkatzaman.bsky.social · 11h agoA10b Influence has never been the problem. Unquestioned influence has. The loudest voices aren't always the wisest, and follower counts aren't credentials. A little skepticism is still the best algorithm. #DigiBlogChat
She really gives an excellent summary of the political news, along with her thoughts. #DigiBlogChat
A10. Influencers are steered by a multi-layered ecosystem: audience feedback loops, algorithmic shifts, brand budgets/sponsors, PR managers, and broader cultural trends set by peer creators and grassroots internet culture. #DigiBlogChat

A9. There doesn’t seem to be any consistent path to become an influencer. Many people judge influencers by their number of followers, which seems wrong-headed. #DigiBlogChat
A9. It starts with building an audience through consistency, clarity and value. Creators grow by mastering platform mechanics, engaging genuinely with an audience, and maintaining a recognisable personal "voice". #DigiBlogChat

A8. Here are a few influencers I like: * Heather Cox Richardson does her homework and posts diligently about history and politics every day. * Dr. Vonda Wright writes about women’s issues. * Dr. Daniel Sugai is a board-certified dermatologist. #DigiBlogChat
A8. Check out my Linkedin profile (www.linkedin.com/in/larry-mou...) for who I follow in the course of business interests. For SoMe influence then the original (and still numero uno) would be @carolstephen.bsky.social but everyone in #DigiBlogChat is important to me too.

Oh boy. Maybe we're in the wrong business! #DigiBlogChat
Jim Katzaman - Persevering Writer@jkatzaman.bsky.social · 11h agoThe influencer business is enormous. Global influencer marketing spending is projected to exceed $30 billion in 2026, showing brands continue shifting advertising dollars toward creators. #DigiBlogChat
A7. It’s evolving rather than dying. The era of glossy, untouchable mega-celebrity influencers is losing footing to "de-influencing," niche micro-creators, and authentic, raw subject-matter experts who prioritise community over vanity metrics. Hail the #DigiBlogChat community!
A7. I hope influencer culture is losing its footing. People need to think for themselves more. #DigiBlogChat

Bluesky has "stopped" a couple of times here in last few mins, may be my connection. Apologies for any delayed responses to the topic. #DigiBlogChat
I love this! @maricarjagger.bsky.social Bought Followers = Imaginary Friends #DigiBlogChat I guess these imaginary friends can be counted…
Maricar Jagger@maricarjagger.bsky.social · 11h agoI think it depends what influence they make. If people buy their followers, do they count? Isn't it like having imaginary friends? #DigiBlogChat
I gotta run! Have a wonderful week! #DigiBlogChat And never forget that your very actions influence many more folks than you ever realize! May that influence always be as positive as possible in the immediate circumstance.
