Travel influencer has ruined reality

I also capture moments through photos and videos while on vacation, but some influencers take it to another level.

For them, the holiday seems more about being on camera than truly experiencing it. It's their job, but we regular folks can fall into the trap of comparison.

I've noticed friends comparing their real experiences with what they see in vlogs, often feeling disappointed when things don't match up.

Recently, I watched a video where Rishikesh was portrayed in such a glamorous way that it was hard to recognize. I visited Rishikesh myself two years ago and appreciated its raw, laid-back vibe, but this influencer made it look like a luxury destination.

What are your thoughts on these travel influencers?

Influencers are the biggest sham in the world. They can speak anything and zero accountability for what they promote

They will promote and falsely represent anything for reach, likes and monetization. Since there is no accountability on their part it is frequent, followers need to exercise caution.

Influencers are just salespeople with more followers. They know they have a fixed number of peak years so they go all out promoting everything under the sun. And there are people who believe in finfluencers and invest their hard earned money into crap.
