Influencers are the Influenza

Be skeptical of products that influencers all praise in unison.

Do not believe the phrase, "I've had many questions about this, so I'm introducing it." That post, which no one actually asked about, is just a clever advertisement.

They claim it's too good to share, yet they dutifully include a link and even a discount code.

And yet, we are easily persuaded to buy things for the sense of security that comes from knowing everyone else has them. Where does that sense of security actually come from?

Excessively praising products, showing "after" photos that are edited (or just the result of lighting and conditions), or scrolling through vertical videos and social media—such content flows endlessly.

Even if they aren't influencers, beauty accounts post things like,
"This seriously makes pores disappear" or "The diet method that helped me lose 20kg in 3 months," but frankly, it's annoying.

It is infuriating how they so carelessly exploit the psychology of innocent people who want to believe.

However, we are also at fault
for being successfully taken in by that marketing.

We might just be infected by the trends created by influencers. The way to prevent infection is simple.
Do not take someone's recommendation at face value; research it yourself, be skeptical, and make your own choices.

Being innocent is beautiful, but being too innocent as a consumer is now a vice.
