The "primary advantage" becomes a disadvantage, if it is used as a main part of the marketing. It will mostly attract the wrong (selfish and greedy) people, like in the case of Steemit and the Steem blockchain.

All the influencers I know are selfish (they promote their brand) and greedy (that's how they make their living).

Fighting influencers may not be the smartest strategy.
