Before IG live to document the incident, Naiha first requested her fans whether she ought to speak approximately a count. It truly has been frightening her for a few days now. The solution changed into a resounding ‘sure.’
She uploaded the video. “I do now not simply to offend of belittling everybody. A couple of weeks back, a company reached out to me to study a product. After the product usage, I told the corporation that I will not an assessment the product because I do not find it irresistible and that if they want a sincere review, I can do this. The organization stated no, they would take back the product and that I don’t need to evaluate it for them. I said, okay, I don’t need money, and I won’t review it until they want a sincere evaluation. I back the product.
“After some days, I saw a few bloggers reviewing it, and I advised them that it is now not worth it and they have to now not recommend it in any other case they’ll lose their credibility. Nobody listened to me. Then I saw one blogger submit a [positive] review [on the product]. I felt harm and indignant with the aid of these movements, and I commented beneath the put-up announcing ‘I did not like the product. I actually have used it, and I will no longer propose it to everybody’, my remark becomes deleted.”
I really faced the blogger, and he or she admitted that she turned into doing the incorrect aspect; however, she nonetheless determined to take the logo’s aspect. The product was reviewed without getting used.”

It dissatisfied me on the grounds that so many humans follow you, and they’re willing to buy merchandise based on your recommendation, and you’re mendacity to them for a small sum of money. Stop calling yourself an influencer if you’re now not going, to be honest along with your followers. Please take this function significantly; otherwise, depart this enterprise.””
