because they get paid...?

Is it hard to understand for some people that "influencer" is a job title that actually hides very little of the day to day business they do.

    What I want to know is: if you've got a product that has been market tested and proven for a decade to be creepy, why do you pick a celebrity with a creepy dad to promote it? Are they just trying to own that sliver of market share that doesn't care?
