Absolutely NOT you, John. It’s someone that we haven’t seen post in quite some time. Maybe several years?

Are there any Q compensated influencers active on these boards. 

How about other products?

Absolutely yes to both questions.

[jackiejenny]

Yes~~~

[Venezia]

For those who said yes, how would you know with certainty?  Are you one of them?  Or is their compensation disclosed somewhere?

The plant-based poster, @bikerbabe?  Sorry, just curious.

Sorry if my question is stupid but, what is a "compensated influencer" ??

A compensated influencer is someone who uses social media to promote a product line or lines and is paid with products or cash for doing so. There are lots of them out there. The more posts they put up across social media, the more they get kicked back. They'll often have discount codes that tie sales from their posts to them and they get more for those sales. It's not that different from old TV hosts (like Lucille Ball) endorsing products.

We had someone who posted a fashion blog, which had links to the stores where her clothing items could be purchased.  It has since been deleted for "solicitation."
