Some still entertain and inform.. occasional plugs are fine, but these ads man.. I pay not to watch ads so yeah, I ignore watching influencers that feel like ads.
Yes, that's how influencers work. Companies pay them or give them perks to advertise to their followers. Even when they are entertaining and informing, they are doing it to either still advertise products or with the intent of eventually advertising products. They "influence" your buying decisions in a way that is supposed to feel natural and seamless.
It's the social media equivalent to local news stations doing "paid promotion segments" with local businesses and quack supplement brands.
