Ask HN: Why people follow Twitter tech influencers for every opinion like sheep?

In my eyes, it's more about looking at power then looking at people. What these people do and decide could change your life.

To deal with lack of understanding and anxiety over uncertainties, people project their ideals onto an entity who is a representation of said ideals.

Do sheep use Twitter?<p>I don’t know what people or influencers you refer to. Not sure if you have identified a real problem or a “who cares?” thing.

Probably because at their core those followers aspire to the position gained by those influencers.<p>So they want to follow their footsteps.
