It’s always meant, “I’m paid to post ads”. Whether that’s psychological manipulation is up to you.
(Yes, ads are designed to get you to interact with them, but on their own, I wouldn’t go as far as saying, “psychological manipulation”. I’ll admit the industry has tended in that direction, however. Your view may differ)
- amelius 6y agoIt's not just showing ads. It's endorsement, and in many ways similar to fake reviews. And often the fact that ads are shown is concealed in semi-clever ways.
- Person5478 6y agoI don't disagree with your point, but influencer nowadays is active whereas a simple ad is passive. Due to this, the modern day influencer (aka person) is absolutely a psychological manipulator.
