N2 - Key opinion leaders (KOLs) are individuals with a strong social status whose recommendations and opinions are influential on their followers’ decision-making (Bamakan et al. 2019; Chowdhry and Newcomb 1952). Prior to the social media era, KOLs were typically political figures, journalists and celebrities who received enough media exposure to cast their influence. The increasing importance of user-generated content (UGC) provides regular people with such opportunities and creates new groups of KOLs.
