    Is it the same thing, though?

    Technically, any independent blogger or YouTuber is a “content creator”. But (at least in my impression of normal usage), an influencer is specifically a content creator trying to leverage their “influence” over the purchasing decisions of their followers.

      Yeah no, “content creator” makes me think like Sam seder or TYT or maybe destiny. “Influencer” is some Instagram model that gets railed in Dubai porta potties.
