Dear @steemmatt

Somehow I bumped into your publication. Interesting read - upvoted already.

Thank you for sharing your own view on influencers. In my opinion golden times for all influencers are over. Right now majority of people are already resistent to all techniques, which used to work pretty well. And most those techniques you described.

Right now real influencer = leader. Someone who want to gather people around himself, people with similar goals and visions. People who he will help grow. That's what being real marketer or influencer is about. However most influencers still rely on spam, spam and spam.

Yours, Piotr
