If everyone just stopped paying attention to influencers they wouldn’t exist anymore. They would all have to go get real jobs instead of getting paid to post pictures online. The worst part of influencers is how entitled they are for free things. It’s not uncommon to hear than an influencer asked a small business for something free simply because of their status.
Unfortunately, exposure doesn’t pay anyone’s bills and taking offers like this from influencers just doesn’t make sense for businesses. Recently, more and more businesses have been standing up for themselves and putting influencers in their place when they rudely ask for free products. Good for them.
