Stoping Fake Advertising on Social Media
While a handful of social media influencers are still endorsing the harmful weight loss products, some are trying to end it. Some influencers, like Mykie of Glam and Gore, give their audience the reality of weight loss. Mykie recently took on the challenge of training for a bikini competition and wanted to share the process with her followers. In an Instagram story, Mykie said, "the only way to get the results you want in a healthy way is taking care of your body." She gives her followers resources* on accurate health advice while telling them to research on their own. Instead of profiting off of her journey, she is trying to give people accurate and healthy advice. Mykie is one of the few influencers trying to bring to light fake advertising in social media. This helps her followers trust her more, which would be utilizing ethos and logos rhetoric strategies. [1 image, 1 link, 1 quote, 150 words.]
