> Negotiation usually takes place entirely over Instagram direct message, and teens rarely sign formal contracts
This is not always the case, however. There are entire marketing agencies setup for exactly this. We use Social Native [0], which allows us to pay people to post editorialized content.
Very few (if any) people follow the FCC rules [1] that tag the posts as #ad. It is a really shady market; nearly everything in social media marketing is astroturfed like this.

There are entire marketing agencies setup for exactly this. Does the fact that there are marketing agencies negate the point that it "usually" takes place like this, though?
- css 8y agoThat's entirely fair. I corrected the main comment.
- aspaceman 8y agoThe article doesn't claim that there isn't marketing agencies set up, just that most negotiation is done over DM. And from my impression that's still the case.
- village-idiot 8y agoFrom what I've seen, there's very little about social media that isn't shady, both on the service provider side and how other companies use it.
