My gut feeling is, the higher the number of followers, the higher the percentage of those followers are bots.
Perhaps guilt prevents many of the influencers from charging "full price"? I also presume any contracts with big brands - however difficult they might be to enforce - clauses that attempt to mitigate such fraud.
The internet...the news is fake...the people are fake...fake is the only thing that's real.
