Once Upon a time when people watched more TV, there were tons of tele marketers selling crap of all sorts (weight loss supplements, mattresses, weight gear and whatnot) and I always rolled my eyes and switched channels.
Now influencers are their evolution and for some reason managed to escaped the stigma of being tele marketers because they make edited “cool” videos that also show some fun thing.
This is very annoying, but I’m not sure what can be done, besides trying to inform friends (which lately seems to have become impossible with the rise of fake news and the empowering feeling that people “are doing their own research”)
