If you’re an active social-media user, you can’t deny the phenomenon that is Instagram. " Its online photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service enables users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them, and share them on various social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr." What one can't communicate in words, some photos make the task easier.
The immense popularity of Instagram has captured millions of users worldwide. To some people, Instagram is heaven-sent, as they are able to enjoy its huge privileges. Rightly or wrongly, it has become subject for abuse. And whether they admit it or not, some celebrities are the ones who are guilty of this abuse.
Merchant Followers MF of celebrities use the opportunity to promote their products on the celebrities' Instagram feed knowing that their huge following get to see MF products. Needless to say, it is surprisingly cheap, especially for the cost-conscious entrepreneur. In return, some MF give celebrities some products for free.
Very enterprising TV Host TH is one notoriously known for milking this opportunity. To be able to cut cost, TH has now reportedly gone to using Instagram as a business platform, without a sweat. Allegedly, she asks her MF for some product samples such as clothes, food, and even pricey ones such as watches and at times even GC's, too. The items have to be delivered to her first before she posts their pictures on her wall. Reportedly, TH has gone overboard, asking as much as 50% discount for travel fare.
Yes, it is - social media has redefined public's perception of what social graces and etiquette are all about.

ReplyDeleted ko gets.. clues..
ReplyDeletekaloka sinech?
ReplyDeleteM?
ReplyDeletei think its C..
ReplyDeleteOMG. natumbok mo FP!!! Nagiging medium na ng mga sellers ang mga IG accounts ng ibang artista. Ang iba mga HARBATERA NA! Nakakahiya. Si S na dating asawa ni C ay ganyan. Iunfollowed her. I would like to commend nmn c A na gf ni tc kasi ng aapologize cya na hindi nya maippost yung binigay sa kanya.. ang iba talaga tuwang tuwa sa galak akalain mo limpak2 na goods mahaharbat just for posting. Ng flood na ang timeline mo sa harbat nila. GRRRRRR. Salamat ng marami FP for posting this ng natauhan yan mga yan!
ReplyDeleteTe relax lang mashado kang apektado. Tama unfollow mo nalamg kesa tumaas ang presyon mo lols!
DeleteHarbatera means asking. Some online sellers are aggressive and wouldn't really take no for an answer by flooding the celebrities ig account. Marami paring mabait at nakakatulong kesa nangaabuso.
DeleteS is nice to online sellers. She does not ask... mahirap tukuyin ang BI na ito dahil napakaraming artista na nagpapasalamat at nagpopost ng items.
Deleteyung sa f ba to?
ReplyDeleteOk lang naman yan kasi nakakatulong sila sa sellers. Ang hundi ok yung nanghihingi na nga, ayaw pang mag post! At yung namimi ng I po post. E popost lang pag authentic at mamahalin. Geeesh takaga!!
ReplyDeleteDelicadeza tawag dyan. Pag condone mo na bigyan ka at postmo, INI-ENCOURAGE MO NA BIGYAN KA NG IBA. HINDI TAMANG VALUES YAN.
Deletesellers are expecting them to somehow endorse their products through their posts. There is nothing wrong with that cz di naman sila humihingi, kusang binigyan. ang masama, yung piadalhan mo tapos talagang never kang ma mention man lang. it's nice to know that some of the stars, even the big ones undertand that they are helping sellers. malaking tulong sa kanila.
DeleteYes mga nagmamalimos in a more hayag way. Kahiya!
DeleteMga barubal. Walang pakundangan kung humingi o magparamdam. Mas may pera kayo karamihan sa mga sellers BUMILI na lang kayo hindi yung MANGGAGAMIT kayo. ANG MASAKLAP ANG IBA MGA FANS ANG NAGAGATASAN nG MGA ITO. Pangalanan na yan mga yan!
DeleteGive and take lang naman yan. Kung walang magpapautong online seller eh si walang problema. Aminin dumadami don ang followers ng mga online sellers kaya walamg tigil magpadala ng items sa mga artista.
DeleteSi D ito.. Sya kasi ang nakikita kong nagpopost ng mga discounts nya sa a.. Pers onor..
ReplyDeleteAng hirap hulaan. Marami kasing artista ang ganyan.
ReplyDeletewala.. wala tlaga. wala tlaga akong maisip.. slow ako ngayon *
ReplyDeleteExactly!
ReplyDeleteSome are abusing already their privilege. They got to amass things without sweat. Proud na proud pa na binigayan sila at gustong gusto kasi lalobg dadami ang mgbibigay. Easy peasy. Hayy, wala na natirang hiya.
FP, pag may artistang nagdelete ng harbat nila, aminin, adik din yun sa fashionpulis hehe.
ReplyDeleteis this the gf ng best friend ni V from M?
ReplyDeleteMost if not all the celebrities overuses this privilege like A,S,D, at mas ku**l si R kasi pag chinek mo ig account nya puro stuff from online sellers makikita mo...yun na! Paaaak!
ReplyDeleteSino kaya tong blind item na to? Papadalhan ko po ng items ko eh
ReplyDeletePost mo fp mga abusive na artistang mga ito ng magkabistuhan na! Hahaha. Paging mga artistang mahilig sa libre at walang pambili nag delete na agad kayo kasi madde discover na kayong makakapal fez.
ReplyDeleteYung isang stylist naman, nanghihingi ng para kuno sa mga alaga nya. Mamahalin pa hinihingi nito.ok na sana pero ang ending, walang pinost na sinuot ng artistang pinagsasabi nya and worst , matapos nyang humingi, waka syang ipopost at wala nang reply pag finollow up mo. kapal nila, imbes na tumulong sa sellers. Nanghuhuthot, nang aabuso.grabehh.buti pa yung ibang malalakung artista. Ayaw nang humingi.nag popost pa pag pinadalhan mo.
ReplyDeleteMay kilala akong wagas kung makahingi! Hindi lng pa isa isa, kahit lims pa im sure ok lang sa sellers pero ito, pag binasa mo mga messages nya sa ibat ibang sellers ganito. I want one for all my fingers. I want 5 of those. Ganyan ang tema kapal!! At kung di pinadala lahat, ayaw ata mag post. Nasa wall din nya yung pagtatanong ng ilang sellers. Makspal to pramus.stylist ito ni v. .basahin ang mga messages nya sa sellers na na uuto nya.kawawang sellers.wala namang maitulong ito sa kanila kasi feeling sikat lang ito
ReplyDeletetotoo ito. sa isang gabi, lima ata sa mga sellers ang hinihingian ng sangkatutak. hindi naman ito sikat. nakikisakay lang. kung ikaw seller, ano gagawin mo? isang design ng singsing humihingi ng tig lilima...i bebenta pa ata lols.. mga ganito yung hindi ok. pero karamihan naman ng celebrities are nice enough to help online sellers. good yan kasi nakakatulong pa sila magkaroon ng pamumuhay din yung ibang tao. all in all, positive ito. mangilan ngilan lang naman ang mga nang aabuso. at yang si A. she is very very nice. di naman nanghihingi eh, kusang binibigyan so kudos to her actually
DeleteI EXPOSE NA YAN FP! Mabuti na lng may pulis na mag po post ng mga kabulokan ng ibang artista.
ReplyDeleteDami naman nilang tumatanggap nang mga pinamigay sa IG. For example, si C. Yung mukhang bakla (D) na writer and dami ding post sa IG nya. The R, etc. etc.
ReplyDeletethat is just fine because they are helping the entrepreneurs or the so called instagram sellers. hindi naman lahat abusive. mas marami pa ring mababait.
DeleteMga barubal to the max! Kalyo to the face, to the left to the right!
ReplyDeleteHello Neneng ba itech? Made me like Time Giver more tuloy...kasi when I see her muka syang mahal manamit, mukang may pang gastos...kahit na I'm sure pahiram lng yun
ReplyDeleteBIR should investigate their other source income.
ReplyDeleteHay naku online seller aq sa instagram,. Kapal nung isang artista nung nag upload ako ng photos mega comment ng iwant this,. I want that ,. This,. This! E akong uto uto mega padala naman ng damit,.nung kinamusta ko si damit nawawala
ReplyDeleteDaw ayun follow up ko ang courier,. Sabi ng courier yung mudak daw ng celebrity ang nakareceived o e di ok na,. Mega upload na ang bruhang celebrity ng picture suot mga damit ko,. Ayun kahit isa di man. Lang nabangit pangalan ng shop ko,. After several weeks ayun nagparamdam na naman ang hitad gusto na namabg makaharbat,. Di ko na pinansin. Ang kakapal ng mga mukha!
Clue naman sis hehehe
Deletekung isipin mo naman din, sellers via IG tags on the accounts of the celebrities. so mga "freebies" na hinihingi ng mga celebs na yan would be sort of a "TF". sellers get to have exposure, celebs get something for helping them with the exposure. win-win lang naman if si TF naman would give the seller a big boost, may right naman siya to demand.
ReplyDelete-^.^-
Hello businesswoman!
DeleteI still can't get it. Pero yung isang actress S nagsabi wag muna magbigay kasi hindi na yata niya ma post sa dami, or in deference to typhoon victims. Suwerte naman nila, mga branded, mga yummy imported food. Pero ang dami din nag post na sellers, nag comment asking for contact details so they can send, iba nag pro promote ng shop nila.
ReplyDeletewala pa rin mkahula?
ReplyDeletepangalanan na nga yan ang hirap hulaan eh. daming artista sa IG na tumatanggap from sellers. even if I mention na the names baka naman di rin ipost ni FP.
Deleteang hirap naman hulaaan but anyways marami naman ganyan na artista eh, basta email na ang pinagusapan sa comments alam na!
ReplyDeleteDiosko FP ang giraffe!!
ReplyDeleteMaraming artista lalo na sa instagram ang ganyan. Yung iba nanghihingi pa ng cash plus products para lang ipromote sila. Mga online sellers naman na iba porket alam na kasi ang address ng mga taartits tuloy tuloy ang pagpapadala sa mga artista tapos kukulitin ang artista na ipost ang items nila.
ReplyDeleteWrite letter to fp ng mai post yan mga yan. Kesa i idolize ng mga tao yan mga artistang ganyan.
Deletegive n take yan swerte nga sila pinapatulan sila ng artista sa mga giveaways lang eh kung manghinge ng TF yan edi lalo wala sila pambayad
ReplyDeleteSimple wag magbigay ang sellers eh di walang issue. Lol
ReplyDeleteHi this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if
ReplyDeleteblogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from
someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
