Girl, where do I start?Who are the worst? I used to follow lily and Anna who get the same freebies and it’s so obvious.
That’s interesting that there’s now generations of influencers- I didn’t know!Girl, where do I start?
•Parttimeworkingmummy #1 for sure, she’d literally do anything for an advert, you’d think she’d have more than enough money from her PayPal scam

Exactly. I look at my first Instagram post and it’s a picture of my friends/ cats, it’s for my friends; not for people I don’t know. Even YouTube, where I uploaded videos of my family to share with them and only them. It’s completely evolved.I hope Influencers are on their way out! As someone said instagram started off as a photo sharing app and now it’s like qvc. I think companies have shot themselves in the foot. It wasn’t too bad to begin with and would definitely have been advertising for them. But now I don’t think they look enough into who they get to promote their products, they need to be more selective. So many companies I used to or would have bought from that I now think have devalued themselves enormously. Once you associate a product with someone it’s hard to go back from that and the insincerity and greediness of so many of them is really off putting. Not to mention when you see the same product being flogged on every account. I barely go on Instagram now it’s massively ruined it for me
Hahahahaha I cannot stop laughing at your nameHmmmmm im on the fence. Because the reality is influencer promotion does often come with a discount or special offer of some kind and I think that will always be attractive to some degree
Most of the things I see being advertised by influencers never had adverts before. Well not that I noticed, maybe in magazines, but I don’t remember seeing tv ads of many other ads for The White Company or Daniel Wellington or Benefit just for example. I can see why influencers were a good way to advertise products at one point but it’s just too saturated now. And when they’re advertising things like weight loss injections and skinny teas I think it lessens their credibility a lot.If all the influencers disappeared overnight, what would fill the void? Would adverts go back to just being clearly adverts with clearly marked #actors in them?
I get the impression that influencers are probably cheaper than magazine and TV ads. Magazines are almost redundant now and I can’t imagine companies like the white company paying for a TV advert.Most of the things I see being advertised by influencers never had adverts before.

Exactly. How are we supposed to afford a “sale” piece that’s still £200+ that an influencer has been gifted?I think they're over, or are close to being over. People are sick of being sold at all the time, and now that a) businesses have less money and b) a lot of people have lost their jobs, I don't think it'll be the same in future.
what is ptwm thread? I’m there!Hahahahaha I cannot stop laughing at your namethe PTWM thread would LOVE you
