8) What is YOUR opinion on influencers? Are they a positive or negative influence on our society and culture? Why?
- In my opinion, I feel this is negative. The reason why is say this is because people are turning their fame into a business and conning people for more views and money. Some famous people will like to con people into giving lots of money so that they audience can feel just like the influencer but really they just been scammed and have been funding their lifestyle. Another reason why I feel Negative about this is because is the influencer won't be paid as much when someone buys the product, this goes to show that influencers aren't paid as well but also not given any credit, people will just see them as employees instead of their fans.
