D-list celebs who promote shit on Instagram without pointing out they're being paid. Somehow, I'm supposed to view this as markedly worse than Tom Brady, Larry David, etc. doing the same thing in a commercial.
Commercials don't require disclosure because everyone knows they're a commercial. The same is not true for influencers' Instagram posts. Sometimes the scripting is ham-handed enough to be obvious, but hardly always.
The outcome is the same, people buying something they may not have otherwise. Also, the fact that viewers know something is an ad doesn't change the fact that they view it as a celebrity endorsement.
