I'm baffled so many say influencers. I could say so many more jobs that are more or at least just as meaningless like for example personal shoppers/chefs/whatever and models (who are kind of basically just silent influecers). Also remember influencing is not just recommending this and that product, it can also be about helping people through bad stuff that the influencer went through themselves like eating disorders, violent relationships, bad courses of illness, loss and so on.

I feel like all the loud, bratty, entitled influencers give all the other ones a bad rep, when some if them are actually useful to a lot of people.

Just my two cents
