Influencers demand free rooms and access to hotel just because they have followers, employees are sick of it: 'We are getting review bombed because these poor influencers were denied access to hotel's guest-only areas.'

Influencers are a good way to discover places and products, or just a way to make people more addicted to consumerism?

Influencers are either the ultimate trend, what everybody loves, or the people who can make a product go viral in just one video. Or they are entitled individuals who believe they deserve different treatment and free products just because they have followers. These influencers are quite new, and that is why most people haven't accepted them yet as real workers. That is also why they haven't yet figured out their place in society.

Work has changed. That is visible not only with these influencers but also with remote jobs, offshore representatives, and telemedicine. None of these jobs have figure themselves out completely. So, should we fully disregard influencers as workers? That is up to you, but maybe we are too critical about them, or maybe, just maybe, these people are quite entitled, leaving us with an awful image of them.  

Maybe this hotel worker who came to Reddit to tell us how fed up he is with them has a point. The experiences that he had were bad, they were not only disrespectful but also mean, petty, and deceitful. But is that enough to consider all of them some kind of parasite that we need to get rid of? Sometimes they seem to be like aspiring celebrities that really want to be taken seriously, but are only known to some and important to none.

In ten years they are two possible futures for them, mainstream recognition of the profession or complete disappearance from Earth. Maybe the places that don't use them in their favor for publicity are missing big time. Or maybe it's even better for them to separate themselves from the Internet's fame to gain actual customers that aren't biased by some pseudo-celebrity that was paid to say they like something today and that they hate it tomorrow.
