Internet net influencers are no more likely to be other than piss poor just as many product reviewers are piss poor.
Perhaps the coming crackdown on bogus reviews and reviewers will include influencers, but in either case, I doubt they will be punishing stupidity. If the punished stupid, there would be no politicians,
The issue seems to be that thereās very low risk in doing this tactic. The āinfluencerā basically has zero to lose, since the most they risk is Amazon shutting them down and they donāt get paid their commission. The seller can deny any responsibility since thereās no evidence they paid for the policy violating promotion that Amazon can see. In some cases thereās not even a link to which seller is doing it if the video purely slanders the original product and doesnāt promote anyone elseās.
