YEREVAN, MARCH 6, ARMENPRESS. The prominent Time periodical has introduced the list of the 30 most influential people on internet. As reports “Armenpress”, to determine the unranked list, the authors analyzed social-media followings, site traffic, overall ability to drive news, and more.

Kim Kardashian occupies the 6th place of the list. “She may tout millions of fans in real life, but Kardashian, 34, truly stands out on Instagram. There, she has perfected the art of the selfie: some with famous friends, some in luxurious bathrooms, and all to the delight of her 27 million followers. Long a performer in a reality TV show produced and edited by others, Kardashian also deftly uses Twitter to define and defend her own narrative (“Her eyes were closed and I was feeling my look! Can I live?!?” she sniped after being criticized for cropping her daughter out of a selfie), and of course to promote her various business ventures,” thus Time.com described the Armenian celebrity.

Anita Sarkeesian has also appeared in the list. “Amid the #Gamergate controversy, this Canadian-American feminist became perhaps the most public critic of sexism in the gaming community (via her blog, YouTube channel and Twitter account), which earned her thousands of fans—and almost as many enemies. (She says she received death threats.) More recently, her blog, Feminist Frequency, got funding from Intel’s initiative to promote diversity in tech,” the website stated.

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (a.k.a. PewDiePie) tops the list.
