Not hating on Shivani at all, and I understand influencing is her full-time work now, but her individual account has become heavily promotion-based lately

Every other reel is an ad or product recommendation, and somehow every product is something she’s been using for a while, the feed feels more like constant marketing than actual influencing.

Anything about her?

Instagram's algorithm really thought I needed to see this today. Thanks, I hate it 😞

Came across her yt shorts recently where they had gone for their anniversary trip to Paris flying Emirates business class to Paris (and looks like two different aircraft – Boeing 777 & A380, both business class)

Like… how??

Business class tickets to Paris aren’t cheap at all, and this isn’t even a one-off thing. They were in Vietnam recently, and now Paris again for their anniversary. Meanwhile, I’m out here checking economy fares 3 months in advance 🥲

So what’s the reality here?

Are these trips fully sponsored/collabs, or are influencers actually making that much money from Instagram and reels?

Because either I’ve completely underestimated influencer income, or we’re all just watching one big well-curated illusion
