Don’t get your shopping advice from influencer videos. Jeez, shouldn’t that be obvious? Their name is literally describing what they aim to do, to influence you to buy crap they advertise, and 99% of cases they advertise them because they are paid to do so.
The mere thought of buying something from an influencer is bizzare to me. Especially when it’s something the influencer has no connection with. Like i remember listening to Marc Maron. He was never a favourite of mine, his podcast was usually what i listened to when i didn’t have anything else. But he always promoted shit like postmate or whatever, that made you think: well yeah, he probably sends out a lot of stuff… Whatever. His whole schtick is that he’s an old guy that hates new things. One day i listened to his podcast and he suddenly went: guys, have you heard of rocket league? And then reads how fun and fast paced rocket league is and that you should play it.
So, a relative of my partner’s is an influencer. I thought they had a glamorous life, because they travel all around the world. Turns out they don’t even technically get paid to promote products. Their trip expenses are covered, but that’s about it. Which I find bizarre, but I guess as long as they’re young and pretty it works.
