In the era of influencers, where curated content and sponsored partnerships reign supreme, it’s easy to fall into the belief that living the influencer life is a glamorous, all-expenses-paid affair. After all, who wouldn’t want to receive a constant stream of free products, from designer clothing to the latest tech gadgets?
However, as we’re about to explore in this post, the reality of being an influencer can be a stark contrast to the perception. While the perks are undoubtedly appealing, they often come with a hefty price tag attached. Keeping up with the ever-evolving influencer landscape and the “Joneses” of the digital world can prove to be a daunting financial challenge.
Recently, one Tiktoker, Lizzie Dushaj (@lizziedushaj), shared her annoyance with having to pay a $2 fee to enter a very expensive “influencer Halloween store.”
“You have to pay $2 to get into the store. Which isn’t a lot of money, but like why do you have to pay money to go into a Halloween store?”
“These costumes are really cute, but they look like a glorified version of Party City costumes.”
“I gasped. I had to make sure it was in USD. The skirt alone was $300. You then also had to purchase the $300 corset. Then also had to purchase the $200 cardigan. Every single costume was in the $500 to $1,000 range.”
@lizziedushaj i recognized half the costumes from seeing people post in them
