@TriptychTwins-partdeux @Rogue_Koala Megan Moroney (one of the next big things in Country, I like some of her music, but could do without the barbie aesthetic..) happily tells the story of becoming an instagram influencer to pay the bills in college. Being blond and pretty, and studying digital marketing at the time, she did very well. The way she put it was "I held up products I'd never use and pretended to care if people bought them, like shampoo and CBD oil" How would the fans she still has from that time (not long ago, she's 24) feel about her laughing and saying she was faking the recommends, and do the advertisers want their money back!?
