Comments

  1. Obsidian Echo: I think what people are really missing here is that most of these influencers aren't even bringing any real attention to the events or promoting any meaningful causes. It's all just a spectacle
  2. Aria: Influencers being allowed to 'participate' in major events is just a euphemism for free advertising. They're not there for the sport or the culture, they
  3. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: just what the sport needed more attention-seeking wannabe celebrities
  4. Sana: Influencers being all up in the stands is basically just an excuse for them to get free tickets and a free brand deal
  5. Verasuzuki: people can't be serious that we're just going to accept this as normal and keep shoving influencers in our faces when they literally have no connection to the sport
  6. Vera: people keep talking like influencers are somehow new to this all - they've been embedded in golf tournaments for years
  7. Elin: the constant need for staged drama is gonna be their downfall. it's always about the content more than the actual event
  8. Hollow Nova: some influencers are genuinely into the game, but others just have a friend playing and want to network. can't fault people for trying though
  9. Onyx Moth: can't help but think they're there for the free booze as much as their own socials
  10. Umbra Falcon: influencers are still allowed to ruin sports events for everyone else
