Is anyone else unfollowing all “influencers” on Instagram? I’m finding their posts to be so out of touch with what’s happening across the global to people’s lives (both health-wise and economy-wise.) They’re still trying to push a more is better mindset. I get that’s part of their business model, but I just can’t take it anymore.

That would have required me to follow them in the first place lol

Unfollow influencers, and follow more artists of any occupation. I personally find creative people with less followers to have more impactful day to day things I have learned/adopted

Influencers are paid pretenders. That's what they do. There was no need to get influenced before and neither is now.

This is an exciting movement for Instagram IMO. I would love to see the affluent influencer and flex/braggart culture die hard. Hope it’s replace with a more holistic, worldly, and teaching culture. I know beautiful people will always be forever admired, but true engagement comes from being human.

Influencers are the worst, most have no brain and not style, but still somehow manage to make people feel as if this is the way to go.. I have a friend, she used to be cool. Now she just buys ugly stuff someone on IG posted and pretends on IG as well as if her life is amazing. I just feel sorry for anyone being influenced like that

Yes I have been unfollowing them actually- I understand that they (and brands) might see this as an opportunity to get in front of an audience that might otherwise be too busy (pre-lockdown) to click on their sponsored ads/shop. But it’s coming off so opportunistic now and I cringe when I see hyperlinks/affiliate links on their Instagram stories. Especially now that Amazon has an influencer program....

Some of them I appreciate but the ones who never socially distanced, aren’t trying to promote or reflect the current reality, and don’t appreciate or understand hardships (buy this $99999 shirt!) piss me off.

I want to but haven’t made the cuts yet. I actually hopped on that influencer train for about a week and what I found out was so fake and sickening that I hopped off ASAP. Been wanting to unfollow all of them for awhile but just haven’t done it yet. Usually just skip over their stories and pics these days.

For so many of them, their daily life has not changed much. They’re still receiving packages of free crap and making Instagram stories in their houses. In a way, I’d rather see someone talk about a silly kitchen gadget or their new shoes over the constant dreadful news, but I also see how it’s super insensitive to have 1739196 new outfits to share when there’s so many people without a paycheck and nowhere to wear that outfit.

I don't even have an Instagram account to begin with.

@iamdeepfaker deserves a follow

Yes!! I’ve changed all, think the lock down has shifted my mindset. I don’t enjoy the same shows I watched pre-virus.

Do cooking accounts count as influencers? I’m so confused by what an influencer actually is
