So I won't wear that dress, even though it's just not for me.

Um, or if it's something that I do really, really like, I will, I'll, I'll take it.

I'll do a little pose or something, but if it's from like a big brand and this is a different conversation now, I go, sure.

Email my manager and we can talk about how much it costs me to promote because you don't get to send me a cookie and, and have me promote, you know, your $10 million business or whatever.

So the reality is in this language of even the way that she spoke, I was writing notes on my hand when she was speaking.

She's saying, you know, I don't know why she cares more about making money than she does about supporting a small business.

But you're also wanting to make money.

Yeah.

The language difference here in the expectation that influencers are just out to make money, aren't you also just out to make money?

This is all about money.

Your business is about making money and profiting and there isn't anything wrong with that.

No.

But the demonisation that influencers purely care about money but you're the one that's having an issue with the money payment and the payment of services for marketing and advertising.

Yeah.

And again, that's okay.

If you don't think it's worth it, that's completely fine.

It's like I see all these posts being like an influencer wanted to charge our restaurant $4,000 to do a post.

So here's my grandpa advertising instead.

A, great advertising strategy because it's funny and silly.

You're also though weaponizing the misogyny of hate against influencers of being like, they aren't worth it.
