Influencers aren't evil people they are just doing their job, instead of this why not create a topic that differentiates good influencers and bad influencers because that's the way it is. . I've made money from few new projects watching YouTube video and shiba inu was one of those projects follow by metahero, I would have never known about these projects if not for influencers.
If you can recognize a good and bad influencers already then you are doing the right thing which is doing your own research. That's just the basics and not all people would recognize a good and a bad one but some of the replies above are helpful to recognize a good and a bad one. Most Youtubers are only interested of the views that's why if you recognize they were talking more nonsense ang BS then stop listening to them already they aren't worth it to listen till the end.
