The reason these people are called influencers is because yes, there are some people.. in fact lots of people who are influenced by them.I absolutely agree, you take advice where you want to and all I saw was someone saying how they were coping. If you were easily 'influenced' you may take that as advice but maybe it's just me, I only take an opinion as just that... an opinion, not advice or gospel.
The influencers are paid to advertise products. No company would throw money at them for endorsing their product if it wasn’t having the knock on effect on increasing sales.
As I said in my comment, I know nothing about breastfeeding so I’m not referring to that. And as I also said, Kim isn’t making major money off insta but she does have 10k followers. There’s every chance there are people who are influenced by what she says and does.
