Who is the bigger fool - the fool or the fools who follow them?

Perhaps I'm just too old for this. Even though I've been on the internet literally since it started, I've never heard of any of the "influencers" mentioned here. The very word "influencer" seems to have different meanings for different generations. Isn't an "influencer" someone who influences others? Shouldn't we judge them by what they are saying, not by what they "are" or what they were born to?

Both Donald Trump and Martin Luther King were "influencers" (under my old-school definition). Both were born into a comfortable lifestyle (King was upper-middle class, Trump just rich). Both were known for extra-marital affairs. But none of those things "influences" my decision of which one I will follow.

As it says in Proverbs 31. it is "her deeds" which "speak her praise," not her "likes" or "hits."
