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.

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 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. Sincerely, a real photographer. DSC7572Ret...3067d3.jpg

I always love the retailers that tell supposed influencers..."Here's a hundred coupons for $5 off a purchase of $50 or more. If 50 people turn them in and use them, I will give you free stuff." Most influencers decline because they know their 10,000 followers are actually less than 100 real people. I don't know when it became popular for people to expect free stuff for being vain.

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." ....///...

What exactly is it that "influencers" are supposedly "influencing" anyway - the sale of antacids?

It always bothers me to see these types of photos on IG and the person taking the shot (or perhaps taking 1000 shots to get THAT shot) never gets credit! It's always some "thoughtful" quote about amazing their life is. Never do I see "Thank you to my boyfriend, girlfriend, random dude on the corner ect for taking this photo" in their post. I can't stand it.

So just gonna put my twopennth worth in on the points raised and discussed by Ana J and co...i can see both sides, sometimes things loosening up a little is a good thing...dads being more involved with their children and it not being a big weird thing like it was say 50 years ago for eg., but that in other areas like online porn being easily available and viewed by children not so much. Whenever I'm on this site i see lots of different P.O.V. and i always remind myself of the quote (sumerised cos i can't remember it exactly) "i may not always agree with what you say but i will always defend your right to say it" -there are very obvious exceptions to this which should quite rightly be shutdown straight away- but on the whole if i don't like what someone is saying i tend to just say nothing to them at all. Different opinions on subjects is a good thing and unless that opinion is something way over the line no one should be calling ppl horrible names because of their opinion. I'm done x p

They have ruined many landscapes and other photo sites, and they are often in the way of you just trying to live your life. Some girl against a blank wall? Who cares. Some girls thong 5' away while you're trying to eat? F**k off. In the middle of the street? She needs a slap.

This article irritated me. Everyone is commenting so snobbily about these people who just want a nice picture of themselves. In most of the photos, they aren't disturbing others or trespassing anywhere. In other Bored Panda posts, the exact same people are commenting "wow, amazing work!" on the final products of very similar instances/shoots, and yet when they come here they disparage these people who are taking those photos. What's the difference? Is it okay for a professional photographer to photograph clients in the street and in popular photo-op locations, but it's annoying and cringey when amateur photographers do it? All of you are taking too much pride in your own supposed non-cringey-ness and failing to realize that the vast majority of the people featured in this post aren't actually doing anything wrong. At all.

People don't really mind the ones who just keep to themselves but take pics. It's the a******s who get in your way that are the worst. They ruin it for everyone else.

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

Did you not see the people trying to eat dinner with a butt in their face? That's pretty rude! They are ruining people's vacations. Be aware of people around you, we all have to share this place.

Influencers can't exist without followers. When a moron manages to gain followers it means that they are even greater idiots than the moron.

I don't care if people are taking photos, but when they put themselves and others in danger and need help, they should be required to pay back the cost of emergency services that are required.
