An influencer’s review only makes me wary of a product and makes me question their motives.
But I guess others don’t see it that way, or they wouldn’t be doing it.
Because some influencer say you should. Works this way for too many people.

Also depends on which source we are discussing. Many YouTube channel owners do no not call themselves “influencers” and just focus on their domains and are very strict about sponserships (some don’t even accept sponsorships).

The amount of folks I see use Opera GX “gaming browser” because some influencer said so…

What the fuck is a gaming browser. Browsers show web pages.

It downloads RAM for you, sells your browsing data to major gaming companies, helps you stay on top of your Twitch subs by disabling the ability to block web notifications.
You know, a gaming browser.

From what I’ve seen it has a lil sidebar that let’s you limit the resources available to it. Also a load of shortcuts to giveaways and storefronts. It’s also hideous, as all gamer stuff should be.
Honestly it gives me more “lowspec” vibes, than “gaming”, and there are far better ways to browse on low spec machines.

I’m still shocked at how many seemingly tech-literate people use and defend Brave because of influencers.
