It's one thing to lease a BMW to convince the world you're killing at your multi-level marketing scheme, it's quite another to suggest you're sponsored by BMW or that you have connections with businesses that you don't.
I particularly worry about young consumers racking up tons of debt in the pursuit of having content to post under the gist of "Eventually some one will pay me for this..." when it's clear the influencer market is getting hyper saturated.
