If you’ve ever wondered how social media influencers and others dedicated to their social media feeds get those stunning pictures, Influencers in The Wild can give you an idea. The verified Instagram account features submissions from people who spot friends or professional photographers going out of their way to capture “impromptu” photo shoots for the ‘gram.
As this Instagram account exposes people who are willing to do everything for a photo, they are captured in their natural habitat, sharing the crazy behind-the-scenes moments with the rest of us. The result is a feed full of fun and hilarious moments of influencing in its raw form. From the perspective of everyday life, some of the published pictures are quite embarrassing.
Influencers in the Wild is run by @tank.sinatra, a successful meme creator and author of the book Happy Is the New Rich. Tank Sinatra, whose real name is George Resch, spoke with BuzzFeed News about starting Influencers in the Wild. The new account was kicked off in 2020 and has almost 5 million followers today! It seems like its growth won't stop anytime soon. Check out our curated 30 pictures to get the impression of the real life of influencers!

How Influencers Are Changing The Game?
But even though partnering with big online names is already a familiar idea for upping the brand image, the market is constantly changing. So, everyone must continually evolve their strategies. Yes, influencers are filling nearly every imaginable niche and sub-niche.
However, pouring money into each of them offers distinct benefits and trade-offs for brands. This prompts users to go above and beyond to better their online appearance and attract deals... And sometimes, like Influencers In The Wild has shown, way, way beyond.

This whole thing with the concave stomach is just the next after the utterly flat stomach of my generation. I'm not bashing thin people, it's just that the concave stomach is very rare and sets an unrealistic goal for other women. I heard women will use laxatives and purge for a couple of days to empty bowels to get that look, in a lot of cases. Most women, no matter how fit, have a bit of belly fat, and almost every single one of those women think they're "fat" because of it. When I weighed 103 pounds, I still felt fat because I had a tiny bit of belly fat. THIS HAS TO STOP. I thought it would be better in the next generaiton after mine, not worse. God, I feel sick.

I very much agree. She may be taking more than one risk with her body for content here.

The other striking thing here is that the picture she's getting doesn't require the height at all and isn't near as dangerous looking as the pose actually is. Only the pisture of the picture shows how much danger she's in, so this isn't even about picturing tough-girl risk-taking. If she wants a picture on her back on a flat retaining wall with blue sky and trees in the background, why not head to the ground floor or a safer similar wall not in the air?

*pilot Over The Loud Speaker* “Sorry Folks We’re Gonna Be A Little Delayed For Take Off. We Have An Aspiring Influencer Who Is Willing To Die For Content In One Of The Jet Engines.”
Francis 5 years ago
just curiosity: would a human impact be worse than a bird? much worse or just a tiny bit worse?
Alexandru Bucur 5 years ago
Much, much worse - modern engines are designed such that a bird strike will destroy the compressor disk, but the resulting shrapnel will stay, for the most part, confined inside the cowling. Depending on how fast the plane is going, throwing a human mass into the engine will lead from something like an uncontained engine failure with shrapnel flying everywhere if stationary unto a catastrophic engine failure at cruise speed resulting in the engine being ripped bodily off the pylon, potentially compromising the wing spar and bringing the whole plane down.

For no reason at all, I want you to just incessantly throw sand at my butt cheeks and take pics the entire time. Actually, maybe do a video so I can grab the perfect screenshot.

What Are Some Good Influencers?
As influencers in real life can act enormously stupid, some factors that make someone a good influencer are authenticity, content creation expertise, trustworthiness, communication skills, and passion. As various social media influencers are in different categories, the “goodness” actually depends on your interests and preferences.
If you are interested in food, you might want to follow famous chef @jamieoliver or @the_pastaqueen. Top travel influencers are @theblondeabroad or @fatgirlstraveling. If you are interested in fashion, the real influencers here are @chiaraferragni in women’s and Johnny Cirillo, aka @watchingnewyork in men’s fashion.

*waze Voice* Influencer Traffic Up Ahead
Marnie 5 years ago
In North Dakota, it is legal to run over protesters (if they're protesting something that goes against foreign corporate interests, like oil pipelines where most profit is going outside the country, and ALL oil is going outside the country). They passed a law that it was okay to run over protesters if you felt basically uneasy. If you can run over people protesting the risk of poisoning the water for millions of people and permanetly damaging the environment due to oil spills and adding to climate change, then we should be allowed to run over someone blocking traffic purposefully for long periods to take photos. (FYI, oil pipeline that runs through ND has already spilled multiple times.)

Who Are The Top Micro-Influencers?
Nonetheless, not only megastars with huge fan armies like Kim Kardashian West and Kylie Jenner are selected to reach potential clients, but micro and nano influencers.
Micro-influencers often specialize in a specific niche, even kids, games, and virtual (computer-generated), having a relatively small but engaged and loyal following, usually between 10,000 and 100,000 followers.
One of the top micro-influencer kids is @elle, while in the gaming niche, @kioshimax takes an important place. Even if these accounts are just a tiny fraction of all top micro-influencers, the biggest virtual reality enthusiast is considered @lstoast.

I don't mind that camera phones are inspiring average people to take up photography. What I DO mind are so called "influencers" bartering imaginary currency for real world items. Lemme give you an example. I'm a REAL photographer. Each photo I shoot is roughly $10,000 in gear. Influencers contact me all the time wanting free work. In return they promise to "tag" me so my work can be viewed by their followers. First all, likes don't pay my bills. Secondly, why would I want my work to be seen by more of your broke a*s friends who in turn will contact me for their own free shoot? Finally, click on any photo of any influencer with a million or more followers. You'll never see more than exactly 50,000 likes. Which means not only are the majority of followers fake bots...but so are the likes. You're essentially a turd paying your own money to fuel your ego and trying to p**n your fake celebrity for free vacations, actual photoshoots, and other items. F*ck off.

Another American walked past and said, "The hookers start early in this part of the world." ....///... The influencer, enraged, yelled down the street at the person who said it, proving that she was as stupid as she looked.

Secondly, why would I want my work to be seen by more of your broke a*s friends who in turn will contact me for their own free shoot? Finally, click on any photo of any influencer with a million or more followers. You'll never see more than exactly 50,000 likes. Which means not only are the majority of followers fake bots...but so are the likes. You're essentially a turd paying your own money to fuel your ego and trying to p**n your fake celebrity for free vacations, actual photoshoots, and other items. F*ck off. Sincerely, a real photographer. DSC7572Ret...3067d3.jpg

But why would you assume that everyone who has their picture taken is an influencer? Some people just like to have their picture taken. 🤷

I started following this account for a while as I found it funny, then cringed as I realised that I just don't even want to see these ridiculous people and their c**p anymore, pure narcissism. Now I've unfollowed it as it was just winding me up

Why do people care? So someone's taking a picture, what's the big deal? Except for the ones where there is a safety issue, of course. So what if someone's photographing their a*s on the beach? Or leaning on a colorful wall. It's making them happy, let people be happy.

One time we took our friend to the mall. As we were driving through the parking lot to find a spot we drove past the entrance and these 2 girls stopped right in front of us to take a selfie! My friend yelled out Move your a*s! lol The 2 girls just gave us a dirty look and slowly walked away and then my husband beeped at them and scared the c**p out of them lol. We said we can just see their post now: Here I am laying underneath a car because I was an airhead and stopped right in front of a moving car. Does this car make my butt look big? lol

When we were in Paris last fall, we ran into one of these Bippy Sues a couple of times. Late one afternoon in the Marais, we were headed for a restaurant and there she was, in a tiny miniskirt (it was about 0 F and drizzling nastily, that's Paris in fall) and a halter top, posing against a wall. ...///... Another American walked past and said, "The hookers start early in this part of the world." ....///... The influencer, enraged, yelled down the street at the person who said it, proving that she was as stupid as she looked.
