Influencer = self employed advertiser. Being a fan of an influencer is like being a fan of the insurance gecko.
I mean... he's pretty cool?
Keep your gecko and Flo fanfic to yourself!
No, let the man cook. I wanna see where this goes.
If this starts getting too steamy, I must let you know that I am in Texas and over 18, in case anyone needs to verify my age for adult content.
Please upload your government issued ID to proceed.

"... Chapter 15
Jake From State Fuck
Flo woke the next morning beside the Gieco Gecko, completely ravaged. Her body still shaking from the night before. She stared deeply into the Gieco Geckos eyes and thought to herself, "no other man will ever compare."
Then the Gieco Gecko moved his hand to caress Flos face. "Are you ready to go again? This time I've called for assistance."
The door swung open. Through the door, in a gimp suit, Jake...."
keep going, I’m almost there
I wouldn't be surprised if a Rule 34 erotica exists starring the Geico Gecko and Flo.
Without checking or ever seeing it before, I am confident saying that it must exist.
I checked. It does.
Thank you for your service!
Link?
Are you sure?
(NSFW and NSFL)
Wow. You did it.
This is significantly better quality and quantity than I expected.
Masterpeace truly a work of art
The geico gecko is to Flo as the gerbil is to Richard Gere.
Ha nice try
Not “Influencer” - “Huckster”
You leave Martin out of this.
He has a name!?
Well they should know, they're a fan, obviously.
He sure does.
That's a very fuckable looking gecko. Look at those scales and tell me he isn't asking for it.
What do y'all call people that make video essays or make funny skits but make money if ads? I thought most of us understood the game and weren't hating the players as much
Entertainers. That is a job. I had a dance teacher who taught dance, danced professionally, did singing telegram deliveries, dressed in costume for historical tours at old places, she was just an all around entertainer, that was her job.
Influencer is different, as I understand it, that is more like the content itself is advertising. Like a social media department at a company might hire them. I guess that is also a job, but most people don't want to watch a ten or twenty minute ad.
Fair enough. Thanks for explaining. To me, it seems like influencer is used to put down anyone that makes money from yt, insta, tt, etc.
That's almost all the content/format I watch. So it's weird to think people just don't care if they get paid because they depend on ad revenue.
Do you consider twitch streamers influencers or entertainers? I don't watch many but I'd assume they're worse in your mind when some have a gaming chair they're promoting and/or they were directly sponsored by the game they're playing.
Entertainers. An influencer is an evolution of the model, someone who exists to hang a branded product on and make rubes want to imitate them, not someone that provides entertainment.
Does everyone know that? Influencer seems to be used for anyone that makes money from youtube, insta, tiktok, etc.
Also, why y'all so hostile to basic questions? Does everyone here already think the same? No questions allowed? lol. Alright I'm done.
Creators? I just called them entertainers.
Video essayists. I watch them exclusively on YT and it is very important to me that they stick to their area of expertise and don't include shady sponsorships. I think the video essayist is a very small portion of youtuber that make enough money to get by. Low quality stuff is far more effective at gaming the algorithm.
