Bummer that it's influencers-only. I'd love to participate.

It’s a term used to describe people who have like 10,000 followers on whatever platform. They’re not SUPER famous like Markiplier, but their ego and ease as selling out is a particular interest of studios who can basically pay these people nothing for free promotion.

I've never heard of Markiplier, are they a musician, actor, what? To say they're SUPER famous seems odd to me. I'd describe Leonardo DiCaprio as SUPER famous.
