Hilarious. Fucking influencers on instagram actually making money is the oddest thing I have ever heard of.

Tricked annoying "influencers" into paying several hundred dollars for their $20-$40 shoes. My only problem with the story is that they refunded their money after dropping the bomb that they just got duped.

I agree. Just dupe the dipshits, don't ruin it with a "Hah, all cool guys, here's your money back, so free shoes!!!" bit of bullshit.

As a consumer, I'm horrified that such a thing could happen.  As a voice actor, I say "Genius marketing!"

That's awesome.

Also shows you how people can drop buzzwords to make it sound like they know what they are talking about, but don't actually know how to determine things like quality, durability, etc...

Same here, all the time. Targeted advertising is booming. I'm currently scouting potential IG influencers for my company to work with. The level of reach you can obtain in a single post is crazy effective.

I was going to make fun of this then I realized I do the same thing. Lol.

I follow some big time power lifters on Instagram and buy things they endorse.

I'm on instagram, but I rarely if ever scroll through. I'll post a picture every now and then, but I don't pay any attention to or follow anyone that would be considered an influencer.

Not really. I went back through my follow list. I follow 204 accounts, I'd say 170 are regular people. A few sports teams, websites, brands, and restaurants/bars I like. Colion Noir might be considered an influencer, but I've never bought anything from an instagram post. Like I said, I spend maybe 10 minutes a month on instagram, so I don't really pay much attention to it.

Never joined Instagram. Can’t stand it from back in the day when filters were ruining actual pictures lol. Deleted Facebook about 3 years ago. Joined Snapchat for a company thing and never deleted. Only use it maybe 1x a week.

I am on Twitter multiple times a day, for extended periods. I can’t click on individual tweets cause it’s a war zone. But I get 95% of my news there.

I have, use, and like Instagram. Though I could easily see being tired of it. I wouldn't have FB if it weren't for Spotify being tied to it, still pissed at that decision to log in using FB 5/6 yrs ago SMH.

My twitter use has declined dramatically, I used to be like Laley. On it multiple times a day, got most of my news from there, etc... I'm on twitter now during Browns/OSU/Cavs games and that's about it. I pretty much stopped reading news sites, and actively try and pay as little attention to news (outside of sports) as possible. It's just a total shitshow, and I can't handle it anymore. I just vote, trying to pay attention with no control just puts me in a bad mood.

However, Reddit I'm on all the time.
