Social Issues
ADVERTIsem*nT
At first glance, it might not seem like it, but being an influencer can be hard. In such a competitive and fast-paced industry, a social media person must have a great brand strategy, be consistent, create original content, and be on top of every trend to keep their audience coming back for more. All while trying to maintain their shiny image so they would receive brand deals and earn a living.
However, to attract viewers, get clicks, and gain followers, some influencers go too far without realizing that what they’re doing is ignorant and sometimes even downright wrong. Unfortunately for them, their wrongdoings usually don’t go unnoticed and end up on the news for everyone to see and shame. And Instagram account Influencers In The Wild has done a great job at gathering some of the most shocking ones. Keep scrolling to find them, and don’t forget to let us know your thoughts down below.

Instagram influencer Kat Torres has been sentenced to eight years in prison for human trafficking and slavery of a young Brazilian woman. Torres, a former model who claimed to have spiritual powers, lured vulnerable followers to live with her in the US, promising to help them achieve their dreams. She coerced them into working as strippers and prostitutes, taking their earnings and isolating them from friends and family. The FBI became involved when two women were reported missing, leading to a search that ended with their rescue. Torres denies all allegations, but over 20 women have reported being scammed or exploited by her.

20 women and she got only 8 years? It doesn't sound like she was some more or less innocent trafficer (she wasn't just driving a truck), it sounds like she was the head of the operation. I don't know if is it possible to traffic people alone, but it doesn't sound possible. And she had to sell them to some pimp or was she doing all those things? Because it sounds like organized crime and 8 years sounds like pretty light sentence.

Social media influencer Natalie Reynolds is accused of coaxing a non-swimmer into jumping into Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, during a live stream, then abandoning the scene when the woman cried for help. Reynolds paid the woman $20 as part of a scavenger hunt challenge. The woman, who expressed her inability to swim, dove into the lake and struggled in the water. Reynolds panicked and fled the scene, leaving the woman to struggle. Emergency responders were dispatched to the lake, and the woman was rescued. Reynolds defended her actions in a subsequent live stream, claiming she left at the behest of her team.

The incident occurred on April 21, 2024, resulting in over $350,000 in damages. The teen reportedly tampered with a switch, causing a BNSF train to collide with a damaged coal car on a repair track.”

Over the past 20 years, the influencer industry has grown from nothing to a $21 billion empire that has changed our culture and the way information is received, produced, marketed, and shared forever. This industry was born in the early 2000s, when software such as WordPress and Blogger made self-publishing possible for anyone in the world who has a computer. Later, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, and X normalized regular people creating content online. The first social media companies introduced themselves as more authentic and democratic—a strategy that successfully continues to guide them today.

It was only a matter of time until we had the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory of mommy bloggers. I’m sure most of them mean no harm, but we’ve all seen those mommy bloggers who seem a little “too perfect”. I never assumed it went this dark, but it was always at least a little off putting. Full details below:
Ruby Franke, a former YouTube “momfluencer” was sentenced to a maximum of 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple counts of aggravated child abuse.
Her business partner, Jodi Hildebrand, received the same sentence for her role in the cruelty.
In her plea agreement, Franke admitted to physically torturing her 12-year-old son, holding his head under water, depriving him food, and tying up his hands and feet after he attempted to escape.
Franke’s 9-year-old daughter endured similar abuse.
Franke hid the abuse for years and documented her family’s daily life in Utah on her popular YouTube channel “8 Passengers.”

I’m honestly shocked to find out that the entire world revolves around every single person. I did not know this, but looking back, there were signs.
“A Tennessee woman, identified as Katie Miller, filmed herself at a grocery store checkout line, claiming a man behind her was staring. However, many online users pointed out that the man was simply waiting for a self-checkout kiosk and not acting inappropriately. The woman’s actions were seen as a bid for online attention and sparked widespread criticism.”

Interestingly, the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed shortly after encouraged the industry's growth, as many unemployed people turned to blogging and social media to show they hadn’t gone anywhere. That’s what made them authentic and trustworthy—they were just like ‘the rest of us,’ struggling amidst economic and professional crises and trying to connect with others. ADVERTIsem*nT Marketers, of course, took advantage of this and began to monetize the relationship between early influencers and their followers. Suddenly, paying for a shout-out with money or free products became possible for brands, and sponsored content was born.

Hitchin Lavender, a farm in Hertfordshire, has urged visitors to stop damaging their lavender plants by sitting or lying on them for social media photos. Director Tim Hunter posted a video showing destroyed plants and pleaded for visitors to not ‘kill our lavender’. The lavender fields have taken 10 years to cultivate, with some plants being 20 years old. While grateful for visitors, Hunter expressed concern about those who take photo opportunities ‘a bit too far’. The farm has put up signs advising proper behavior, but the increasing popularity has led to more damage for the sake of 10-second photos.

Posting a photo or video while promoting a product and getting money in exchange can certainly seem appealing. However, a group of researchers from Leuphana University of Lüneburg revealed that this industry is hard work and badly paid, if paid at all, that is. The first drawback the authors of this study mention is that career and pay are unpredictable, as contracts are often short and job protection is limited. Earnings for those who get paid can range anywhere from £10 to £10,000 for one post. On average, monthly salaries for micro-influencers (1,000 to 10,000 followers) are about £1,135 per month, while for “mega-influencers” (over 1 million followers), it’s £12,279.

Suk Min Choi, a 24-year-old YouTuber, has been charged with causing the placement of an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft for a video stunt where a helicopter fired fireworks at a Lamborghini in the California desert. Choi, known as ‘Alex Choi,’ orchestrated the production of the video, which lacked necessary permits and authorizations. The video, titled ‘Destroying a Lamborghini with Fireworks,’ showed two women in the helicopter targeting the luxury car. Choi faces up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted.

However, to earn this much on social media, people need to put in a lot of administrative and creative effort to attract followers. As one influencer from the study said, “Remember that you are wearing multiple hats—concept creator, set designer, stylist, lighting director, makeup artist, marketing specialist, and photographer—when you’re posting for any brand.”

On our new board game, it’s a BIG deal if you do a good deed and don’t film it. To experience this and other influencer type moments, click the link in my bio. There’s other merch there too! Story below:
TikToker Amelia Goldsmith filmed a video at the grocery store trying to buy a stranger’s groceries.
When she approached shoppers at checkout, they did not understand why she was offering to pay for their food. Some appeared to be mildly offended.
After no one accepted her offer, she bought items to add to a food bin at the store.
At the end of the video, Goldsmith was in tears. “I’m just really overwhelmed right now, I don’t know what’s going on,” she said.

Nowadays, some influencers have become brands themselves, creating images, videos, podcasts, and their own merchandise and products. Given their list of tasks, such work can be non-stop, especially keeping in mind that social media is open 24/7 and the need to maintain relationships with followers is constant.

When in Rome?
A young woman was filmed engaging in inappropriate behavior with a statue of Bacchus in Florence, Italy. Italian officials are attempting to identify her and have expressed outrage over the incident. If identified, she could face fines and a potential lifetime ban from the city. The statue is a replica of a 16th-century work by Giambologna.

It could have been worse, but he said this will not deter him from filming “prank” videos.
“21-year-old Tanner Cook, who runs the YouTube channel Classified Goons, was shot while filming a prank video at Dulles Town Center mall in Virginia on Sunday
The prank reportedly involved the use of Google Translate. When a 31-year-old man named Alan Colie became offended by the joke, he shot Cook in the abdomen inside the mall’s food court.
Cook survived the gunshot wound after undergoing surgery. He says this will not stop him from filming similar videos in the future.”

Jokes aside, we all love attention. Some of us more than others, but I cannot emphasize this enough, it is not worth risking your life for views. We’ve all seen and heard of enough people being injured or dying after falling off a mountain, or edge of a cliff, but to go into very dangerous territory just to make a YouTube video, it’s almost beyond the pale. Please be careful out there. Information below:
Miles Routledge, a 23-year-old British YouTuber, was reportedly captured by the Taliban in January.
Routledge, who is better known as “Lord Miles,” says in his Twitter bio that he visits “the most dangerous places on Earth for fun.”
This is not his first time in Afghanistan. Shortly before the Taliban took over in 2021, he traveled as a “war tourist” and was evacuated from the country by Britain when the city of Kabul was falling.
Reports state that Routledge is being held alongside two Polish nationals.
"I am just desperate to know that he is safe. He keeps traveling because he loves it, he's only young and he's just finding himself after finishing university. I just want him to keep safe,” Lord Miles’ mother told the Daily Mail.

For some, it’s all worth it, as most influencers started their social media journey as their passion project, wanting to share it with their audience. However, with so many controversies surrounding influencers, like donation embezzlement and spreading misinformation about forced and dangerous labor in fast fashion companies, experts believe the industry needs some guardrails.

Social media platforms are also hard at workdealing with influencers who misbehave. Giants like Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok have more explicit guidelines about what they can and can’t do. Posts that break those rules are removed. In more extreme cases, the creator might stop making money from the content, or their account may be banned entirely.

A legal dispute between two social media influencers may have significant implications for the industry, according to legal experts.

The lawsuit, filed in Texas, claims that Sheil’s posts featured “identical styling, tone, camera angle and/or text” to Gifford’s, with at least 30 instances of alleged duplication.

The goal is to make social media better for everyone, not just the people who profit from it. That said, with the amount of posting they do, it’s hard to catch every misbehavior. However, these problems are taken seriously, and companies aim to ensure that influencers don’t abuse their power and harm their followers.
