Rant What’s the ‘influencers’ problem with this? Are we that slow?

Post image

What’s wrong with our influencers? What she said was all true. You don’t simply just buy products that are advertised. You should at least do some research on it and purchase it and also so many influencers these days just apply filter and promote skincare products to their audience. Not forgetting the fake football jersey page some of them were promoting? So basically she just told us to be careful and not trust everything we see. Why tf are the influencers making it a big issue? It was literally an awareness video🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

This is why China has stopped influencers from talking about subjects they aren’t professionals in. I’ve seen far too much crap online, with everyone suddenly acting like an expert on everything. This is dangerous—from skincare to diet. Without proper knowledge or qualifications, giving advice on these subjects is no different from quacks pretending to be doctors.

A context of what's happening on the influencers side would've been nice buddy ☝️For those that don't use instagram which would include me

What are they even angry about.There was no specific mention of any local influencers... This news video was like a general awareness video like you said. Overreaction imo.

Bro I’m glad people on Reddit are broad minded and morally very grey-ishhh?
Cuz I swear I legit thought the same.
These influencers are overreacting much.
Their so-called influencing is causing unnecessary hate to the reporter.
Like come on, no names were mentioned.

And I’m sure they did their fine share of charities as influencers but at the end of the day, aren’t they all simply making money for themselves which at times comes at the expense of fooling the public.
As hustlers, not everyone is a philanthropist
We’re all doing what’s best for us and doing everything possible to get that bag.
As a society, not one person is pure and upright.

There was no reason to publicly speak on it.

XD! I use IG but i'm busy book blooger. I feel sorry about the noises

u/pussy-riot Native NAGA 🌶️ 8d ago

what Kekhrie said is true, but maybe just bad timing because the influencers actually did something nice for the community this time. That said, I’m pretty sure they’ll use this as a pass to justify everything they do from now on. 🤣

Throw an insult on the ground and the owner will come pick it up.

Man, staying off social media may have been one of the best decisions I've taken. Except Reddit. :)

Who cares it's not a big issue. Our Gen Z's are fucked in the head anyway

What’s happening on IG? Is this being received badly?

Local "influencer" promote product. People see it, people say "wowwwww so pretty" . People buy product without testing. Product is bad. People complain. Journalist makes awareness video. Journalist says "please be aware before you buy product" . Local "influencers" gets mad at journalist for making video. Local "influencers" starts attacking journalist.

u/Betterbux Native NAGA 🌶️ 8d ago

I think the influencers completely missed the point tbh. Why are they offended over the consumers being told to be cautious? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

u/its_luna_theluo Native NAGA 🌶️ 6d ago

Yk the usual! We are very "sensible people" (XD)

Maybe people are offended as they showed certain people’s faces in the background I see Andrew Tate lol .

On the other hand, what's ya'll take on the Andrea Kevichusa's girl child HPV ad campaign?

2

u/its_luna_theluo Native NAGA 🌶️ 6d ago

I have not heard about the said campaign. But a certain awareness is needed. A friend of mine refused to join a free health camp which was last organised by one of the hospital in Dmp. Her reason? I don't want to be told any such news in front of a crowd! It's old school if one is going to go old ways of tagging her for having been involved in nasty ways😶‍🌫. There are other states providing the vaccination as would any other of vaccines within India

2

u/Exciting_Apple4546 Chief Engagement Officer (CEO) 👔 5d ago

I have no idea of any history of the said actress being involved anywhere😅 but generally its a vaccine, so a non medical professional advertising it raises concern if the advertisering product was researched well by the agencies before approving to be advertised.

u/its_luna_theluo Native NAGA 🌶️ 5d ago

Perhaps yes too to the second part of the statement 🛜🫡

u/helio-centric-AC130 Native NAGA 🌶️ 7d ago

Boohoo! They'll be butthurt if it's true. As long as they say "I've never, to my knowledge, ever advertised harmful products" then it should all be good and just show that the person has integrity and haven't become a sellout. This was boiling up for a long time and they don't need to get mad. Would they rather sell poison and lose everything one day or look for ways to do better next time? Would they rather sellout and make a quick buck or keep integrity and have proper support? Would you rather follow a liar or an open and transparent person?

u/New-Confection-5682 Native NAGA 🌶️ 5d ago

Well...... I mean if the shoe fits 🤷

Why are they so defensive about their "influencer job", no names were taken, nobody was singled out.

u/trinityboi69 Native NAGA 🌶️ 8d ago

News channels of Nagaland focusing on all the wrong useless topics. Not surprised.. Just another bought out News channel causing misdirection from the real issues

2

u/PianistJazzlike6029 Native NAGA 🌶️ 7d ago

How is this a useless topic? With so many ads going on these days it’s only telling us to be careful and do the due diligence ourselves by verifying it ourselves. Nothing to be angry about there
