Well F U again Sweaty Betty, they have gifted gym gear to wearsmymoney. I like Kate but she even admits pre lockdown she never exercised.
I will never buy from.. (fill in the blank) because they gift so much to social media influencers.

Iconic, seeing people flog it on numerous pages where they are clearly following a script really puts me off a product because it makes me think it must be pure tat!
It just reminds me of all the tit the GS cast flogging everyday something different - that 6 pack machine etc. pure shite and sadly people buy into it!

I suppose there is a good side to big companies giving freebies away, I get to deliver them which is a win win for me, motorcycle couriers don't come cheap and I do courier work for a number of the companies mentioned. I can't say who because that's classified information.
Lounge Underwear/Apparel - couldn’t believe the price of a pair of jogging bottoms and top when they literally send loads to every influencer.
and Benefit. Sending all those influencers to places like the Maldives, Mexico, Tokyo etc just to launch a mascara or blush. No, can’t give them my money.

I love this thread! Provides me with a comprehensive list of other brands to no longer purchase, although I think there will be barely any left afterwards.. 
Nars is a big one for me - always think of the trip when they took influencers and their partners to Bora Bora. Obscene. It’s literally like a slap in the face to the consumer.

Scamp & Dude !!!
Anything that is promoted by wealthy people that should show goodwill at a really tough time. Instead it’s greed....
Will name a few
Gousto
Daniel Wellington
Ava May
Joules
Shark ( learnt the hard way buying their crap)
Everything promoted by Housebuild and Justalittlebuild
these people could do so much to promote a brand in a charitable manner. But their greed takes over.

I have seen small 'influencers' get £300 worth every time a new line comes out . I have used almost every brand of lipstick and hers was one of worst. Kiko entry lipsticks have a better formula. I will never buy from her again !
Anyone who sends free items to Lydia Elise Millen gets vetoed by me
There are loads of companies I will not buy from, however my reasons have nothing to do with influencer's.
Apple (over priced, don't conform with industry standards yada yada)
Most sports brands because they are associated with famous people I lothe.
Starbucks, mainly because the swill they sell isn't IMO coffee.
And so on.

Yes, it’s cheap and tacky in my view.
Why Audible out of interest?x
Majority of the stuff given to Slimming World “influencers”
such as:-
hydratem8 bottles
Spices like JD (fell for it once; utter bollocks. Anyone with half a brain can make better stuff using basic herbs and spices)
that one cal f^cking jelly
I really hate all that stuff
Sarah’s creative kitchen or whatever others punt pound land chocolate for big bucks
One from SW Gemma: low wood bay resort in Lake District. she is always there plugging it. Gutted as well as it does look pretty nice in fairness.
Only one I would probably continue buying is Urban Decay. Have loved their stuff for over 10 years; amazing and it’s good to get an ethical brand that’s good (minus the influencer gifting malark) not 100% why they need to go down this route? They’re well established and have a big base following anyway.

Not that I’ve ever been in Matalan but I would never shop in there after they sent a load of ‘influencers’ to a luxury retreat (can’t remember where), kitted them out for the stay & then sent them home fully kitted out for their family too to promote a campaign they were running...with a CHARITY 
So they could give all of that for free, yet muggins everyone else had to fork out for the pyjamas Unbelievable!
Any company that gives an ‘influencer’ anything for free to promote a charity & any ‘influencer’ who accepts items for free to promote a charity fully aware the public will then have to go & buy those items really need to rethink their campaign imo
If ‘influencers’ had an ounce of integrity they’d make a financial contribution to offset their freebies!

Flash/P&G, if I can help it. Their recent exercise campaign was dreadful and getting the anorexic Beckyhomesweethome to act as ambassador just sucked.
I love Tesco clothing! Well, I did. I bought 2 gorgeous dresses in there this time-ish last year. Couple days later I saw influencers wearing them for free!! When is spent £45 of my hard earned cash. I was so pissed off! I don’t often buy new clothes for myself so it was a real treat. They’re still in my wardrobe with the tags on - I didn’t feel the same about them after.
