"Influencers"

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I had a call off a customer wanting some work doing, priced up etc and was then hit with , “listen im an influencer with 150,000 followers, do the job for free and i’ll post about what a great job you do”.

It wasnt for me and she paid full whack but on talking to her i was fuckin amazed, literally gob smacked , at the stuff she gets for free without even asking! Her whole house was kitted out, new front doors, kitchen furniture, new rendering. Just loads!
She said she just has to bang on about how great company was then either keep or sell the stuff.

Businesses get better value PR out of going viral by publicly calling out these freeloading fuckwits than they do out of giving free stuff to them. More companies should realise this and the lazy vapid twats would have to get real jobs.

What's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, influencer ?

Is an influencer basically a knobhead doing adverts ?

You’d have to be a complete fucking moron to fall for these scams though. People get what they deserve.

Yep but there are plenty of those about. These ‘get rich quick’ pyramid shitehawks exploiting people’s lack of intellect or desperation are just vermin

I have no problem with influencers as long as they do no one harm, all they are doing is advertising clothes, beauty products and appliances, with the incentive of free merchandise.

Where in the olden days people would do the same in markets and shopping halls, these do it on social media, while also modeling the stuff.

While billboard advertisung lingerie and swimwear as taboo on roadsigns, these influencers do exactly rhe same thing online, same adverts, new model of delivery.

As for the likes of the kardashians and their ilk (z list celebs) well not sure what value they bring

I do wonder about some of the football influencers now they are being backed by gambling companies. If I question the integrity of the MSM then you see these kids reeling out transfer gossip sponsored by bookies youd be stupid not to question the integrity of that too. People will say it's only a sponsor but it stinks to me

Pull back the curtain and there you have it.

The trouble is the nature of the platforms and general lack of meaningful regulation means some of them are a menace to society.

Probably not on topic but what a truly horrific looking thing she is.

Indeed. No idea why I looked her up on that hamster site but if massive fake arses, tits and lips are your thing then off you pop. She's known as Frankenstein Woman. And fucking ugly. I suspect mental health issues.
