Influencer PR Packages & the Normalization of HOARDING

Video Description

#overconsumption #deinfluencing #consumerism Influencers who promote “PR packages” or "PR unboxings" are proliferating overconsumption and destroying the environment in the process. In this video, I discuss the short lifecycle of PR products, the wastefulness of the packaging and how influencers have normalized hoarding on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. These boxes, filled with free products sent by brands to influencers, are not just tools for marketing; they also play a significant part in shaping consumer behavior and perceptions about consumption.
