It seems some people will do just about anything for five seconds of fame, a lot of likes, a little bit of fortune. And maybe even a free lunch or lipstick. We often read or hear about social media influencers behaving badly. Or having bouts of insanity. There are those who think the rules don’t apply to them, ones who blatantly ask for free stuff, and others who expect princess treatment because “Do you know who I am?” I think it’s safe to say, regardless of your job, whether you’re a doctor or an “influencer,” there’s a certain level of professionalism with which you should conduct yourself. Unless of course, you don’t want to be taken seriously.
People have been sharing photos of influencers in the wild, caught in acts that, quite frankly, they should be ashamed of. From flattening fields of daisies for the perfect pic, to renting sets so they can pretend to take private jet flights... Yes, really. Some of the behavior truly boggles the mind.
Bored Panda has managed to unearth receipts of the utmost acts of influencer insanity, just in case you needed any more proof that the world is going bananas. We also spoke to influencer marketing expert Olivia Savage about the correct way to conduct yourself in the industry. She’s the Senior Marketing Strategist of Creator Growth and Engagement for partnership management platform impact.com.
