These are the top 10 "tech influencers" of 2017.

why is tai lopez there

>no based Lisa Su or Elon Musk
Bait is strong on this

>tai lopez
lel wut

lopez, linus KEK

>tai lopez
HERE IN MY GENTOO INSTALL

Children.

The only tech person here is Linux, everybody else is just a sales person.

They mean marketers.

I only know three people here. One's a paid review faggot, one's a meme, and the other is muh boi Linus.

>muh boi Linus

Tech is marketing nowadays. Even linus is just marketing wtv reaches his paied by the big corps

>anyone discussing consumer electronics is marketing
What would you consider "not marketing" when it comes to this stuff?

ITT: People who don't know what the term "influencer" is
It's really counter-intuitive, I don't blame you. It actually refers to "influencing" the consumers. The list is literally just the top 10 shills.
The instagram sluts who pose with bottles of expensive alcohol are "influencers" too, they're meant to "influence" market perceptions

tai lopez doesn't even shill anything, he's just a scammer

There's that ad he has on youtube where he says something about bitcoin then I skip the ad cause it reached 5 seconds
I assumed he was shilling shitcoins or something while standing of front of his fucking faggot cars
Christ I hate that guy

The fuck is that nigger doing there.

Literally who are those 8 out of 10 people.

How come they couldn't get a picture of that one guy?

sheer laziness

Reminder that Linus made iJustine look like a little girl.

Back to buddy. This is the progressive era.

Holy shit is that the creator of linux?

Nah nigga that's a different Linus lmao

why is that unboxing dude on there? he is nothing but a buffoon

>those women
Wait, who?

no, you retard, that's linus of linux

Are you people retarded?

If someone like Linus says "wow this piece of shit is unreliable and constantly breaks, don't buy it" they will have a noticeable sales impact

jerryrigeverything literally more important than 90% of those guys. his phone abuse videos are actually why I didn't get a pixel

>these men
wait, who?

>tai lopez
HOW DOES HE GET AWAY WITH IT?

>then I skip the ad cause it reached 5 seconds
Why weren't you using an adblocker?

I only recognize three of these people - Linus Torvalds, Marques, and iJustine. As far as I've seen, the latter two seem to primarily target smartphone zombies. I'm not really into phones, so I don't normally go to their channels.

What would Linus advertise while he faps watching iJustine get laid with Marques?

>z

>>>/tumblr/ get out snowflake

What?

when they say "influencers" they mean people that do PR
these people just sell gadgets to the masses, that's their influence

>2 influential niggers

I agree

I guess doing smartphone reviews is all you have to do to influence tech

Linus is /ourguy/

where is brianna wu?

>jerryrigeverything literally more important than 90% of those guys. his phone abuse videos are actually why I didn't get a pixel

Why what's wrong with the pixel?

I've only heard of three people on this list, maybe 4.

Also the unboxing guy literally does nothing but open a box, how is this influencial?

Tim Ferriss is legit. He wrote that "4 hour workweek" book and has a podcast which from what I've heard is pretty good.

>Tim Ferriss
>legit
Jesus Christ. Imagine actually falling for self-help guru bullshit.

All the people in that list influence adults, except one who only targets children because he doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with adults due to being a manlet - Linus.

Because that one guy is the only one doing it right.

He's invested in successful startups, so I feel like he's got his shit figured out. I haven't actually read his books, I've just heard good things from others.

thanks, needed a good laugh

wee diversity olympics

Even if that is the case, I still wonder what he's doing there. JewTube has recommended a few of his vidyas to me for whatever reason, and every time I've watched them, they really sucked. Are rehere actually people taking him seriously?

Who?

Well, Forbes become another celebrity magazine.

>Mind you I'm pretty tech-savvy, but...
Wow, Linus totally BTFOd her. And that's not saying a lot about Linus.

>E-CELEB THREAD

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Where are the Sup Forums mods!

>business """intellectuals"""" don't differntiate between marketing and technology
see Apple

The retarded goyim cattle are incapable of forming their own opinions so they need YouTubers to tell them what to think.

happy to see Linus on there :)

Busy building a catapult on the moon

They don't.
They influence consumer perception of tech. Which is much more important for Forbes.

Yes

Happy to see her transition is coming along

>progressive era
>President Trump

Have you been in a coma?

I don't know who any of these people are.

Trump is pretty progressive if you ask me. Especially compared to the regressive liberals.

...

It does less for more money. the Note 8 does more than the Pixel and is half the price or BOGO most of the time.
>muh updates!
It's not like google does anything with the updates. Wow, features that Samsung has had for years, only the new "features" google adds are half the functionality of the Samsung ones.

>the Note 8 is half the price of the pixel
Huh?

I'm assuming that you mean the pixel 2 and not the pixel 1?

Also BOGO is a terrible deal if you don't want to sign your soul away for two years

false majority audience fake propagandist 'paradigm shifters', etc.

>recognize only two of them
>never watched anything from any of them

WRONG

KNOWLEDGE!

>Forbes

The guy on the top left corner is called tech nigger, but I have no idea who the others are. My guess is that they're tech celebrities catering towards gamer kids.

I always thought Linus is a woman

>Literally don't know a single person on that list

Does that mean I am getting old?

youtube.com/watch?v=KgnAWkpf9uc

>I've never seen Linus posted on Sup Forums
>I've never seen a related Linus video on the right

Imagine being this much of a tryhard. Not knowing what's in the mainstream doesn't make you special, it just makes you clueless and dumb. You end up surprised at shit everyone knew for a year. I know everything, mainstream and niche. You're a faggot.

>tryhard
>doesn't make you special
>clueless and dumb
>faggot

Okay. So it means I am getting old?

you're not missing out on much

Everyone getting older, user.

This meaning Forbes is getting really left-wing and pro ADs.

is that a pci-e slot?

...

>i'm only using roms i own guys
>i totally want to play the worst final fantasy, yep

While he is clearly an applefag he has a surprisingly objective view of all the products he reviews. He was the fucking guy that made me replace my T420 with an MBP Retina.

why would you need to know who the marketing people are in a company? you either follow technology or you don't, and at the moment technology is stuck in this year on year revolving door of needless upgrades

this is equivalent of "top 10 list of celebrities who use technology" except these people are tech focused, that's it.

i know linus, ijustine, marques and lewis because i sit on my ass watching youtube videos a lot. out of those people i like linus. the rest are fucking nobodys

>getting triggered by retarded normie lists

It's like you go out of your way to get triggered Sup Forums get a grip

you obviously don't know what the fuck an 'influencer' is

social media term you fucking sperg, someone who has friends and followers to manipulate.

Sup Forums - Advertising

>HERE, IN MOY GOYRAASHH

>He was the fucking guy that made me replace my T420 with an MBP Retina.
>being actually THIS stupid

>ijustine
>influencer

She barely reviews tech anymore

Gary Vaynerchuk is pretty based on his videos where he talks about entrepreneurship; no sugar-coating. Have no idea what he actually does besides bring millenials who romanticize entrepreneurship to Earth though.

Watched Tai Lopez in a /wsg meme once and have avoided him since, watched maybe 2 videos of Marques and Lewis, their videos add nothing new or of value, Linus is a goofball but he's alright, don't know much about Tim Ferriss, have no idea who the others are. Also Forbes is a joke.

Literally who are 10 out of the 10 people

I'm actually surprised that Elon isn't on the list
