Mommy, Mommy, when I grow up can I be an "Influencer"?
Who's Staff does she work for? Sanders, Warren, Biden, Harris, Castro etc:!! They would fly her around the world free along with anything else she would want!
Just saying!

A YouTube travel influencer was raving about a particular airline's business class to which he was given a free upgrade. I commented on his channel that credibility is lost when freebies are accepted. He angrily replied that he paid for the flight, just not the upgrade and that somehow made me an idiot and him a credible reviewer.
What ever happened to the days when they peeled a sticker off a sheet for the airplane and stuck it on your boarding pass? It was so easy to put $50 in the correct palm and get a sticker for the first two rows.

Did I really just waste 5 minutes of my life reading that story? It appears I did.
And tack on another 5 posting about wasting 5 minutes of your life.
There are some posts here questioning or ridiculing people identifying as "influencer". Just saw something on a program last night, and depending on your view, it's either disturbing or interesting. The program, "Million Dollar Listing" as showing the realtor's party to bring attention to the property he was representing...he made note to get as many influencers to attend as possible, banking on them to spread the word about the property. Seems they actually do serve a function - for some.
