Never quite realized how much I disliked the term "Thought Leader" until I read it 5x in the comments responses of this thread.

I should have said domain expert instead. These two casually chosen words really riled them up

I just said the word "domain expert" in my head 5x, and I don't like it any better.

Both of them give off "influencer" vibes. They're meaningless without more context. We used to just call people "experts", but now that's an arbitrarily bad word.
