8) What is YOUR opinion on influencers? Are they a positive or negative influence on our society and culture? Why? 

In my opinion influencers are people with two sides and different peronalitys on and off camera as they will want to come across as positive and likeable individuals eventhough they may no be and also most influencers may only act and promote things due to wanting money and popularity..We will never know the true and realistic side of influencers therefore we can trust them about anything else but iems they promote as those wont harm us Aditonally some influencers create or join drama just to be in the centre of attenion and have people talk about them.
