Making money from your animal being in distress is vile.
And let’s be honest, that’s what this is.
Any time an influencer posts anything online, they are boosting their profile and furthering their visibility, all of which has the end game of making them money.
They are told to keep their IG stories moving, to keep them regular and give the illusion that they invite people behind the scenes of their lives.
So here she is, showing her cat in distress with the end game that this will boost her career, even by a teeny, tiny (0.0000001%) amount.
Oh yes, and also for attention.
