I stopped reading when the author complained about being able to "buy reposts and shout outs from feature accounts and influencers." Isn't that exactly what being an influencer means: people paying for shoutouts? So it's ok when you're getting paid, but it's fraud when you're paying someone else for the shoutout?

How about when OP repeatedly talked about the old school days of Instagram, where nobody was interested in doing whatever it takes for fame and money.
