This is so often the case with these influencers. I wish more young people realized this.

I was best friends with an influencer who was very popular in the heyday of blogging before vlogging became more of the "in" thing to do. Everything about her life was fake. The house she shot most of her photos in wasn't even her house. There's a business in CA where you can pay to rent out rooms in lavish homes for photo/video shoots. The rooms can be rented fully furnished and styled or empty and you can supply your own furnishings. They can be rented for as little as one afternoon, too. She'd rent the same house once a month, shoot a buttload of content, and then use it the rest of the month on her blog. It was a whole production. She had a photographer, lighting guy, stylist, hair/makeup, etc. She didn't even look the same when she wasn't in full hair and makeup so she was able to go out where she lived (not in LA) and people never knew who she was or thought she vaguely resembled someone.

This friend even got banned from Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack and TJMaxx/Home Goods for making too many returns. It didn't matter what credit card she tried to use, she was fully blacklisted in their systems. This is because she'd buy lavish outfits and decoration spreads, use them in a shoot, and then return the next week.

I don't think you can do the same level of "fake" with vlogging as you could with blogging years ago. However, I still know it's fake and try to impress that on my teens as much as possible. [/quote]
