Wow, really?? They are that desperate for attention that they use their kids to take their photos. I am no prude but those photos were not appropriate for those kids to take.

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.

Day At The Beach

Woman posing in water while her boyfriend is taking a picture

This picture and the post was submitted by @ddianass: “Okay, babe, so here’s the plan. I’m gonna lay in the water, just lay. Stomach down. It’s not deep, so I won’t drown, but even more importantly, my butt cheeks will be jjjuuuusssttt protruding from the water. Here’s why I’m telling you this. 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. I don’t care if it takes all day. The point is, I need a picture of me, just me, with sand bouncing off of my butt cheeks. It’s for work. Okay, let’s do it.”

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.

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 saw this happen some time ago. Out of curiosity I listened in and the old guy was on a video call date with a sweet old lady because they could not be with each other. She was probably caring for a family member I don't know. I thought it was sweet because they had ordered small meals for each of them because they liked to share. I stopped listening at that point but I hope they had a great date
