The most influential is the one who increases the wealth of the world by a larger margin. Attention manipulation or gaming, isn't influence. Speaking honestly and reliably about areas one deeply cares about is influence. One is real, the other is fleeting.

Very valid thoughts; The word HYPE is becoming synonymous with Influencer. More like a Herd of sheep following the Shepard. I feel comfortable to be influenced by less known, less opinionated person who brings in a change in me rather a so called influencer. The whole context is changing these days. Well captured..
