There is an influencer based in my greater metropolitan area who people bash for being corny, doing "TikTok voice," being a transplant while positioning herself as a voice of authority on local culture, etc., though for my part I've felt neutral, up to a mild but deeply uninvested slight positivity towards her.
Except she just posted a paid promo inside an old breakfast spot near me that got turned into, like... the epitome of an Evil Mexican restaurant (weirdly overly polished branding, tons of glitz, huge AI mural that feels at least 3 kinds of out of touch and offensive on top of being butt ugly, white people Chipotle type prices and menu items, unauthorized use of drones REALLY close to street traffic and a railroad crossing to film ads for their own socials, a lot of advertising focused on how "clean" they are... and people are also saying they're not Latin owned, which tracks, but makes me wonder if a local Evil Real Estate family is involved, not naming names bc WHOOF they're quite bad, but 😬).
And on the spot I immediately decided I was sick of her shit and didn't like her lol.
