    I was going to say “influencer” is quite a soft term for “sex trafficker” but, when I ranked the terms, it turned out “influencer” is the more insulting one.

      In my experience, influencers are people who:

      • destroy natural monuments and works of art for attention
      • play cruel pranks on others for attention
      • present a completely false image of themselves and their lives
      • constantly demand special treatment while offering nothing in return

      And about a million other things I can’t think of right now.

      In short, they’re among the most awful people around. You really don’t need a more insulting term.
