Has a social media influencer ever influenced you to make a purchase?

I'm not on facebook or instagram or twitter or most other social media sites; I don't think I encounter many "influencers."

Also, I hate watching online videos. I can read 3X as fast as talking heads talk, and I can skim to the key parts far faster, so unless the "influencer" has a terse writeup, s/he is unlikely to get thru my firewall.

Absolutely. Watching YouTube videos of people doing makeup and hair used to a lot. I found a lot of good products that way. I’ve bought clothes that way too, and I’ve bought things that were sponsored.

Not an influencer, but I was influenced to by an Aztec death whistle and fart spray bc of prank videos I've seen

Actually yes. And i’m happy with it three years later.

when I feel like buying something
I watch you tube reviews
I don't follow or subscribe and waste too much time there
I don't have my finger on the pulse of social media and nor do I care that much
I bought a glue gun
it's not as amazing as I thought and the things I tried glueing fell apart
I am about to buy twine to thread my brows
the regular sewing machine stuff ain't cutting it

They usually influence me to go watch something else.

No if anything the opposite .

No. And I prefer to call them human commercials.

No but advertisers yes

Well a friend I had couple of years ago got a job in a department store and someone made a video of him modelling a cushion from that store. I then went and bought the same cushion. Every young person these days think they’re an influencer. 🙄

I try not to buy anything advertised, but I don't have a TV or radio and I don't read newspapers or magazines. And i would never buy anything on the internet.

I haven’t purchased an Art print from David Bowie’s daughter, Alexandria but I have been severely tempted.

Ola englund has his own line of guitars and they are pretty great. I bought a 7 string from him.

I bought a book he wrote only because all his videos are good and I saw it as giving back to him.

Yeah Max mcann internet cook. Olympic bronze weightlifting champion.

I don't follow any influencers.. i got so disappointed in Kelloggs krave cereal once that i boycotted all of Kellogg's ever after ..

I bought a pretty dress which was advertised here on SW.

No. But the lady with the non stick pan on the infomercial sure did!

Only in a negative way....If I see they think its cool, I dont want it..😷

Yes. All the time especially with makeup

I have never watched an influencer video.

They influence me to not listen to people online

"But wait, there's more!" 🤪

Nope.

Nope.

Yes.

Nope

Nope

Nope

No

No.

I wouldn’t know one if I bumped into them so no.🙂

Always looks like another advertisement to sell me something, so no.

Yeah of course I mean if I'm gonna buy a new television then I'm probably gonna locate some in my price range then do bit of research on them models make sure they got all the right ports and specs and finally I'm just gonna let people pump me full of sh!t on you tube on for a few hours before making that spur of the moment decision based on which one had the flashiest video.

I don't wanna see facts! I just wanna see my new telly slowly turning around on a six pence in outta space so I'm like 'WOW that one would look so cool on my living room wall!!!'😅

No. Boobs don’t influence my purchasing decisions unless they’re attached to my fiancé.

I saw a guy playing a game and it looked fun so I bought it. So yes I guess.

I mean if social media are the plague of the 21st century, influencers are the rats spreading it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not that I can recall, but I have the short term memory of a goldfish.

If it has not in a bad way.
But when I see these Tik Tok videos, I realize that people have indeed lost their minds.

yeah sound proofing material for my van

I love this shit......"social media influencer....." You DO realize of course, these lazy dolts with nothing better to do, dream up things on the corner of their beds, painting up their faces, name-dropping shit, and trust that the lower shelf of America is gonna invest in their false truths.....well, for a price......here's the number....operators are standing by.

How fekking mindless. A "SOCIAL INFLUENCER? " Hah.....weak people get what they deserve.

Not with me, i am hyper critical of all media i consume, i mean fuck i dont even get why sex sells shit... But yeah i only buy the things i actually think i need or will be a help in my life!

Nope, not at all, never, hell if Ron Popeil and Vince the Shamwow dude couldn't "influence" me to buy their crap, no influencer of today is gonna! 🤪

Yah I have bought make up that way

Indirectly. A few have influenced the crap out of my daughter, who's influenced me

No not really. I don't remember
