I wouldn't call Instagram influencers the "little guy", many are millionaires (either off the back of social media or old school Kardashian style). They milk their fans through unregulated advertising and get richer. With the attitude that regulation disproportionately effects start-ups or small businesses no regulation would ever end up law, which seems to be the point of this style of comment.

"Many"? How many? Source?

Many is relative. The big "little guys" are making just a per mill of the whole. If you earn as much as a regular office worker, you are already part of the 0.1 top-Influencers. The millionaires are even lower, 0.01% or 0.001%. But the laws apply the same for all of them. And from my understanding, the poor influencers are the most harmful ones, as they sell even the most awful trash. While the rich ones at least usually have some standards. An exception are the single cases of rich bitches who directly scam their followers with something illegal.
