One of the biggest trends in social media this year is influencers who aren’t trying to sell you anything. These creators have branded themselves as de-influencers and are flooding social media, especially TikTok. The purpose of de-influencing is simple: creators share with their audience what isn’t worth their money or time, especially fashion and beauty items. 

The #tiktokmademebuyit hashtag has over 44 billion views on the platform. In a world of endless marketing, following de-influencers is a breath of fresh air for some users. People have had enough unending pushes for overhyped products influencers sell because they’re getting paid. These creators instead give honest reviews about why a product might be a waste. Then they offer alternatives that they like better.
