Hmmmm It’s not particularly necessary for influencers to be authentic, it’s like playing a character. Or like in customer service, workers are supposed to be more cheery and friendly than they are normally. Because it’s more appealing for business. That would be considered professional, even if it isn’t honest. Honestly, it’s not the end of the world for influencers to be fake.
