30 Influencers That Deserved The Public Shaming They Got

Yeah that’s the good way to stop the ‘rando influencers’

The entitlement of some people still baffles me, I would never dare to ask anything for free, unless I was dirt poor and going to the soup kitchen or something

They can’t work. They’re influencers

You go, Joe!

i like that tag: #influencersaregross

Lots of work doesn't mean that they aren't insufferable. Also, the term "influencer" makes me cringe. But at the same time, I'd like to get $500k for a single social media post.

Sooooo...because you have to create fakery (such as manipulating an image to look like something it isn't) or eating food cold (which we all have to do sooner or later and you do by choice), you feel you are entitled to free things? Get real. If you were a real business person, you would take some of these businesses you offer collaborations to up on their offers such as a refunded outfit if the discount code they offer to provide you is used x number of times. It's called long-term investment. You don't get instant gratification. But, if your business model is working, then you would still get your gratification.

Poor baby has to eat cold food. I worked in a restaurant once, where I dropped of the food. She literally to pictures of her food for 10 minutes, posted on all the stupid sites, then said her food was cold. My manager watched her do all of this. He said word for word: "maybe next time eat the food as soon as it is delivered instead of taking pictures of it. He advised her that he would not remake the dish but will pop it in the microwave. She wasn't happy.. I thought it was great, and made my night!

It -is- a lot of work, no doubt. But it's also a position reserved for the ultra-privileged, and is based on some extremely toxic ideas.

I'm sure there is a lot of work involved in being an influencer. But why should that entitle them to things where other professionals would pay? (e.g I've never heard a doctor say "can I have a free pizza? I save lives".)

Work. Please. The evidence is in when you watch YT "beauty gurus" try to do other people's faces, it looks like hell. Unless you are Lisa Eldridge, stop (STOP) pretending you are a makeup artist. That goes for people who take a s**t tonne of photos of a plate of food pretending they've ever done a professional shoot...the list goes on.

...I mean, I used to work in a convenience store and the food I brought would get cold by the time I got to eat it because customers would always come in while I was trying to eat and I never got a break to sit down and eat in peace. Also working at that convenience store and in fast food, I had to be at work at 6 am and 5 am, so yeah. You aren't really doing a 'ton of work' that nobody else isn't doing.

Confusing question mark and exclamation point ("It's not doing nothing????") already proves in itself the depth of their intellectual emptiness!

Get a real job!

I have a foul mouth, but I sure as hell don’t go dropping “f***s” and “shits” in work emails that are supposed to be “professional af.”

I mean, generalization is a problem here too. Yes there are influencers who do close to nothing.. But there are those who do a lot too. Unfortunately, as a general rule, the most popular ones, are the ones who work very little. Strange world. I have a youtube channel about movies, I'm no influencer, because movie reviewing on yt isn't very popular in my country :P but I still work pretty much full time, at times, with my channel. That said I also have an actual job. I have to, because being a small youtuber isn't paying much.

Influencers do a lot to accomplish nothing.

i would let the sleep in the park and might borrow them a mat

Earthsign needs a reality check. If they find it so easy to be a social media influencer, they should try it out themselves

"marketing experts" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

They've never influenced me. Well, maybe to despise them. And that is FREE!

Yeah I gave up my job as an influencer because it was too much work, I went to digging ditches instead, now I'm on easy street.

HAHAHAHAH I hope I had the same difficulties

"Eating cold food"?! That changes everything! 🤣😂🤣

So s/he basically just admitted their entire image and BS is fake af. So they kind of manipulate their followers into thinking pictures show real life but they don't. Real life doesn't need editing and filters

Why don't they become professional photographers then?

Influencers have influenced their own sector so badly I cannot see why anyone pays any attention to them. Wannabe parasites maybe?

Do these kids not have real problems? Wtf.

People died in Wars so that entitled pricks like this could exist. Sigh.

Good way to tell your product work, indeed.

Exposure doesn't pay the bills

Mr. Soho demolished her!

This one is great.

Even I can feel the bruning insult at the suggestion to deliver tons of excellent food that was produced with much work and love, just to have it thrown away.

Yes I'm sure this brand will sorely regret sending someone with 1k followers free products... The fact that they offered a discount was more than the influencer deserved

lmao

Or want.

ohh wow, such a nice and helpfull idea to have a trade (where she doesn't really have to do anything besides wearing something white...)

When you have only 8k followers, you have no right asking for something for free and should just gratefully accept it if some company does want to work with you. Sure it's different when you have a million followers and an ad would reach a large number of people, but with 8k it's not worth it for any company

The level of self-absorbent attitude is so incredible with these people. I almost have a sort of grudging respect for the kind of chutzpah that it requires to make these sort of requests.

This sounds like some fort of scam more than a legit influencer (if there is such a thing). The grammatical errors and how the sender is trying to create a sense of urgency regarding the money being sent smacks of scam. Plus, it's not audacious enough to be a real thing. $10 is enough to make a quick scam worth your time but not enough that it'll be too hard to get people to pay.

Even food critics pay for their meals...

The cancer argument is just...ugh. Awful. And I have a problem to believe it to be true.

300 followers.......

And even a quick drawing does not take into account the years of education, training, and practice that led to the ability to create it.

Well, at least these influencers were polite when their request was rejected.

Harsh, but deserves it.

Yes, we can offer you to be a dishwasher in the #1 restaurant in WA..

This doesn't sound like a social influencer asking for something but a company asking for something?

Fry his router? Where'd it say he'd do that? I'd like a bit more background on this. Especially because the person demanding free service is bragging about his 315 followers. I have somewhere around that many FB friends and I hate people and am the definition of anti social.

Whoa, I know violence is bad and all, but I'm feeling such a need to punch this person in the face.

Who uses hahaha and lol after a serious answer?

Wow, so because you were a contestant on one of a million reality shows, you're deserving of free housing?! Shaking my ^##** head

Should have said yes, the asked him to meet some where and never show up waste his gas.
