Very good point — apparently some people include #ad to make it seem like they do sponsored posts, even when they're not being paid. But to a potential advertiser, it seems like they have a track record as a paid influencer.

This could be a case of "fake it til you make it," which would be a good reason for potential sponsors to not be happy about this trend. A lot of so-called influencers won't actually make it. Giving them free stuff may have little to no hope of actually paying off.
