20 Wannabe Influencers Whose Entitlement Is Making Us Cringe

Some influencers don't seem to understand the concept of paying money for things, which is just baffling.

I dunno, I feel like approaching a business and asking for free things in exchange for "exposure" is a really strange way to try and collaborate with them.

I feel like even the most famous people (like, actual celebrities and not influencers) would pay for their expensive hotel stays. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume this person got no bites.

OP graciously translated the text for us non-Filipino people:

"Beggar:' Good evening. I am asking if some of you guys know a contractor that can build the floor of my house as shown in the picture? Maybe we can collab and have an X deal. We will make a video to promote your business.'"

Yeesh.

Maybe I'm just old now, but since when is getting someone to cook for you in exchange for an Instagram video a collaboration?

Also, it's amazing how there are people out there who are busier than her, and still manage to find time to cook.

The sheer audacity of this influencer is unreal. Not only do they want free stuff, but they want money from the business, too. Beggars can't be choosers, but they really try it sometimes.

This dude isn't even asking for a free tattoo. He's asking for free sleeves. Like, plural! From someone with way more followers than him. I can't tell if these people are actually this delusional or if it's all one big joke.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but never give away free stuff or services for "shout outs."

I wonder how many people have actually given this person money to post their artwork. Because anyone who has would've fallen for the fattest scam on the planet. Hopefully most artists have more sense than that, though.

Maybe it's just a hunch, but I feel like anyone who asks for a free dog for any reason, shouldn't have a dog to begin with.

If you really don't want to pay for music for your wedding, just set up a phone to some speakers and play a Spotify playlist. Problem solved.

I feel like it's the smaller influencers who are more delusional than anyone else. Imagine thinking you're entitled to free stuff when you only average a few thousand views. Like, that's completely out of pocket.

If I ever found out that one of my friends or family members was trying to exploit businesses and artists for free stuff to show their small following, I'd disown them.

I feel like anyone who says they have a "usual arrangement" like this is probably lying. They just want to sound more important than they actually are.

The fact that the influencer is acting like they're doing the artist a favor is making my blood boil. People like this don't deserve free stuff, no matter how many followers they have.

Not an influencer asking for free things, but still.

The funniest thing about this picture is the fact that those people aren't even in the way of the sunset. It's just entitlement at its finest.

Influencers love to feel like they live by a separate set of rules. But anyone can tell you that no matter how many followers you have, disrespectful is still disrespectful.

There's a phrase for this kind of behavior: temper tantrum.

Nah, the influencer is in the wrong. Companies have to think about the actual exposure they can get from collabs (if they actually want to collab with an influencer). You can't just get free stuff because you want it.

I honestly feel like any influencer who approaches an artist, photographer, or small business for free stuff really just isn't making a lot of money as an influencer. Which is probably why they want free stuff.
