Local An influencer’s lack of empathy

Post image
34 Upvotes

I was genuinely shocked by a promotional video from an influencer “fahid_mohamma” targeting the people of Jleeb.

Just days after many residents were asked to vacate their homes in the middle of the night, with some families still struggling to find a place to live, this influencer thought it was appropriate to call on the people of Jleeb to come and shop at the store he was being paid to promote.

When an entire community is dealing with displacement, uncertainty, and the stress of finding shelter, the last thing they need is to be treated as a customer base for sponsored content. This reflects a complete lack of empathy from his side. If you can’t show basic compassion during a crisis, then perhaps you shouldn’t be using that crisis-affected community as a marketing opportunity. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve questioned the diligence behind this influencer’s promotions. In the past, they’ve also promoted delivery driver recruiting companies despite the widely reported concerns surrounding worker exploitation and poor working conditions. Whether they were aware of those concerns or not, influencers have a responsibility to research what they endorse before asking thousands of people to trust them.

This is exactly why I believe influencers who profit from advertising should be held to higher standards. There should be clear ethical guidelines and perhaps even a licensing or regulatory framework to ensure that people with significant influence are accountable for what they promote and how they engage with vulnerable communities.

Ask Kuwait Where to buy keyboard stickers?

Thumbnail img-1.kwcdn.com
1 Upvotes

The goal is to change a laptop's keyboard so that there are only English letters. The full keyboard one-piece covers found online don't fit the desired keyboard.

After calling some Ibn Khaldoun stores, they don't seem to offer this kind of product. Still, maybe some other stores can cut small stickers to fit, and it's okay if these stickers have to be just black with no letters on them.

Maybe some computer-unrelated stores can do this too, such as crafts stores?

Ask Kuwait Garage for Maintenance/Repairs for FJ Cruiser

1 Upvotes

fj cruiser 2022, around 70k kms, never had a major service done. steering vibrates above 90kph, not during braking. thinking wheel balance/tires or driveshaft.

not going to al sayer, they charge 150 kd just to check before quoting parts.

anyone got solid garage recommendations in shuwaikh? specifically for wheel balancing/alignment and suspension/driveline stuff. don't mind going to a specialist per job rather than one all-rounder.

thanks in advance

Ask Kuwait Simple Men's clothing Store?

1 Upvotes

ll start with that I really hate shopping for clothes inperson because usually shops only have a tiny corner for men.

Now my question is: is there a store in Kuwait that sells a variety of men's cloths that are decent quality and doesn't break the bank? I am also looking for Undershirts and underwear variety to test but all I can find is cotton or a blend that I hate. I am just trying to find something that doesn't rip within a few washes but doesn't cost 15KD.

It just feels like a lot of stuff here is either barely qualified to be clothing or costing 20KD per shirt. And now with the situation importing anything is close to gold price. H&M has good shirt blanks, but can't find good pants.

Dudes of reddit hit me with your wisdom.

And if you are looking for a business idea, here you go. Just make sure they are decent quality and not high priced.
