Hotel Owner Destroys ‘Influencer’ Who Demanded Free Stay In Exchange For Exposure

Is it nice to ask for a free accommodation in return for a “shoutout”?

We have one solution for all your problems. Become a social media influencer and you are done. No need to over-work. Just ask companies and brands to collaborate with you and you can make dollars. Yes, that’s exactly what so-called bloggers these days are doing.

A famous British Vlogger Elle Darby approached the hotel owner of the Charleville Lodge Hotel and The White Moose Cafe in Dublin for free accommodation in lieu of a shoutout. Does not that sound silly? Well, it does not sound wrong to the bloggers. They do this all the time but why ask for it? If a brand wants their product promotion, they will be the ones to approach you and not you. Well, the hotel owner Paul Stenson had a perfect response for this social media influencer.

Stenson’s hilarious and furious response got a massive reaction from public. People agreed with him because social media influencers get everything for free without any effort. They don’t have any skills or talent but get freebies. We need more people like Stenson to stop this toxic influencers’ community. Pay like everyone else and get the services. Why get a service for free just because you are famous on social media?
