They help me see content that interests me, so they are useful. They are dangerous because they can trap me in an information bubble. I have never thought about it, I just use social media.

What is your stance on influencers who express their views on social issues?

I'm interested in their opinion; they often help me see things differently. They are just another source of information, but I verify their claims.

I perceive them skeptically because they often promote their own interests.
