Yes! It's like a reverse-influence, isn't it? I hate-follow a bunch on IG too, and disregard product for the same reason. There are a couple of French influencers I really liked, until I sussed they were shilling undeclared stuff too, but were just better at it lolI really hope not. The whole influencer culture is so damaging. I still follow a lot of them on IG but mainly to side eye the whole thing from a distance. Rather than being influenced they now have the opposite effect on me. Whenever I see them being paid to shill something or even just when they’re gifted the same thing en masse I immediately know I will never want or buy it.
Flu again *poorlyface*She’s back.
No mention of troll PTSD though. Curious?
