Receiver Beware

For some celebrities, owning a luxury bag is a way of saying that he/she has made it. A branded bag says a lot, such as a status symbol for the owner. In certain instances, celebrities even benefit from their social media presence and endorsements. Sellers can be generous and send their high-end products for visibility in a celebrity’s account. What is worth more than buying a luxury bag is receiving one for free.

Unboxing has become a trend and social media influencers know that such videos receive as many views as the product itself. Thus, it is no longer surprising for celebrity influencers to make their unboxing videos to maximize the views and visibility of the seller/giver.

Now comes the problem, that is, when netizens view the influencer’s post, they start writing negative and positive comments. Most influencers ignore comments but in the case of Celebrity Influencer (CI), her presentation ought to be given the benefit of doubt.

An eagle-eyed netizen expressed worry that CI might have given space to an inauthentic product that was featured in her social media. The product was eye-catching and liked by celebrities and followers. What worried the netizen was that the product might not be the brand it presents itself to be. Nonetheless, CI might not even know herself that what she had might not be the real thing, especially if it were given as a gift.

  7. Mga bakla, ano ba meron or anong appeal ng unboxing? Gets ko bag review pero so what kung mag "ooooh" and "ahhhh" sa isang bag ang influencer? Sinubukan ko manood pero nasayangan lang ako sa oras.

    1. Yung iba kasi paid partnership or sponsored/gift. yung iba simpleng kayabangan lang. 😂

    3. Nabasa ko sa isang article - yung anticipation, like watching a child unwrap a gift

    4. sa celebrities i find it interesting kasi you get to know their tastes, parang they are sharing a part of themselves to you. gets ba? remember si unboxing king M? dami naloka sa unboxing niya, mejo lumabas character niya doon haha

      Delete
    5. To add...gets ko at natutuwa ako sa sarili kong unboxing ng mga bigay sakin or bagong bili ko na stuff. Pero sa unboxing ng iba...not so much.

      But 12:26pm, these influencers are not children.

      Oh well, to each his own I guess. Go and spend your precious time as you see fit.

    6. Paid kasi or sponsored kaya need ng public unboxing. I agree with 2:05, masaya mag unbox ng sariling binili pero kahit walang coverage noh lol.

      Delete
    7. That’s the most boring part for me too. Mas maganda kung wala na sa box at pakita na lang. Sayang sa oras yung mga unboxing na yan.
