No, no, no, they require comp'ed stays and cash-mollah in their piggy banks for them to be influenced!
In all honesty, I suspect we're starting to enter peak payola territory with some influencers

Since I doubt you count the hotel stays you do as part of your job as some sort of ‘luxurious perk’ I’m confused why you think I should think differently.
I also don’t understand why you think bloggers, who have kids and other responsibilities like anyone else, are so desperate for a free stay somewhere. I hired someone young and childless at a very chunky full-time salary partly to take the free J flights and 5-star hotel reviews I am offered, because I have better things to do.
