    • 2018 November 11, Sapna Maheshwari, “Are You Ready for the Nanoinfluencers?”, in New York Times‎[1]:
      By now you have probably heard of influencers, that group of internet-famous people who have more than a million social media followers and can make big money by plugging various brands. And you may have even heard of microinfluencers, who do the same thing for a still sizable but somewhat smaller social media audience — from the tens to low hundreds of thousands.
    • 2020 August 4, Sean Stein Smith, “Blockchain, TikTok, And The Influencer Economy - What Are The Connections?”, in Forbes‎[2]:
      The idea of an influencer economy or streaming economy might have caused eyes to roll just a couple years ago, but the reality is that this segment of the economy is growing fast. More importantly, it is the part of the economy (and type of engagement) that is most appealing to the increasingly important millennial and Gen-Z cohorts.
