Influencers- help me understand

This is pretty much it, just another name for advertising, the modern day equivalent of having Jim Bowen tell you what his favourite cigar is. 😊

Nicely topical!

Except in the olden days, Jim Bowen’s agent will have negotiated a proper fee with the advertising agency.

But did he get to keep the cigars and have a free holiday as well? 😄

Unboxing - don't get me on this. If you are going to review a product, I'm not interested in you talking about the box, then taking 3/4 of the review slowly taking the product out of the box, showing me the various wires, then finally a review of the product. I'm bored by then.

I'll remember that when we're doing the photos of my son un-boxing his sponsor helmet that's arriving today

and it would have been obvious that he had been paid to say what his favourite cigar was.
And his favourite toilet cleaner.

That's a very cynical view, next you'll be saying that Meerkats can't really talk.

Nah, they don't seem to be the cynical type, they always seemed quite jolly to me. 😄
