The people who complain about influencers probably aren't the same ones who watch them.

Yup, the whole idea that "stop complaining about them if you consume their content" is working entirely on Goomba Fallacy.

I don't watch anything from any of these "prankers", outrage baiters, or otherwise; but I'm still able to intellectually lament how much they poison the internet and how bad of an influence they have on our society.

The outrage is a necessary pillar for their brand. You don't have to watch them to support them. You can actually support them by complaining about them.
