Authentic Influencers?

How can I make sure that the influencer that I'm following and consuming content of, is an expert on the topic that he's knowledge sharing on? Are there platforms for this? Asking coz the number based metrics like follower count, likes, comments etc. can be manipulated easily and now in this AI age, even content can be. Where's the trust and authenticity? The messaging, effort, influence and impact are the metrics I feel should drive an influencer’s social capital. Any views on this?

I have doing a lot research on these D2C brands , these brands are burning VC cash in ads and influncer marketing. And what just for topline !! When will the focus or plan to focus on bottomline !! Are these guys playing for valuation game or they really want to build profitable business out of it ?? Please correct me if i m wrong , also paying influncers butt load money wothout knowing the ROI , i think influncer marketing is a bubble which is yet to burst and the next phase is influencer led sales !!!

Rise of more and better gaming creators 6. People leaving Jobs to pursue this as full-time career What are your predictions? Let’s discuss this in comments!

There is a lot of buzz about AI apps but I wonder if existing startups are thinking deeply about changing business models because of AI or leveraging AI to automate/replace people in some functions?

Don't really want to make dancing reels on insta or shorts, but want to become an influencer. Grapevine should create a feature for this :P
