In recent times, social media influencers have been a popular topic of discussion due to their sometimes-controversial actions.

Many influencers are popular for posting videos and pictures of themselves performing dangerous stunts, making insensitive comments, and sometimes, even breaking the law.

While some of these acts have caused physical or emotional harm to themselves or others, some are just simply inappropriate and tasteless.

As a result, many people are raising their voices and condemning their actions, urging them to be mindful of the influence they have on their followers and to set a good example.

Social media influencers have received a lot of criticism for their actions, and one of the most commonly brought up is that they prioritise their content's views and likes over their (and the public's) safety.

Some have been caught filming themselves doing dangerous stunts like jumping off tall buildings or hanging from the sides of buildings, which puts themselves and others at risk of serious injuries and even death.

Some also film pranks that involve fake threats or other alarming situations, which can cause a lot of panic and anxiety for the public. These types of pranks are not only dangerous but also completely unnecessary.

Due to the dangerous actions and public disturbances that some social media influencers have caused, many people are starting to question if the pursuit of social media fame is worth risking for potential negative consequences.

One of the most recent cases was the social media influencer who faced backlash for a questionable action involving her child at a Coles store in Victoria. The mum regularly posts monetised fashion content featuring her daughters and has more than 22,000 followers on Instagram.

In one of her latest posts, she uploaded a picture of her child sitting on the top shelf of the cereal aisle, which sparked a fiery backlash from concerned shoppers and fellow parents.

Many expressed concern about the influencer's action, with one Facebook user pleading with influencers to stop such behaviour. Another shopper added that if the child fell off the shelf, the store would be sued, while another accused the influencer of 'exploiting' her child for a photo.

Others, on the other hand, were more concerned about the fact that a child was allowed to sit on the shelf.

'No one wants her child's bottom near their cereals,' commented one shopper, while a second user went on to say, 'Eating food after a nappy-clad child has sat there prior… Yuck.'

Another person simply argued that people should stop treating supermarkets as playgrounds for their children.

On the Coles website, the supermarket says it has a designated safety strategy' to protect customers, and urges them to immediately report any activity, behaviour or product of concern.

Coles has yet to comment on the incident.

Key Takeaways

• Social media influencers have come under fire for their attention-grabbing antics that push the boundaries of acceptable behaviour.
• These influencers have been called out for putting themselves and others in potentially hazardous situations in the pursuit of likes and views on their content.
• The latest example is a mother who filmed her child on the top shelf of the cereal aisle at a Coles store in Victoria.
• Coles has a designated safety strategy to protect customers and urges them to immediately report any activity or behaviour of concern.

Social media influencers have been drawing criticism not just for their dangerous stunts, but also for other questionable actions, such as misleading their followers. One recent example involved an influencer attempting to sell a second-hand rug as 'brand new'.

In this case, Australian influencer Sarah Stevenson faced backlash after she posted a photo on Instagram of the rug with dimensions and a description calling it 'basically brand new'.

However, another social media account pointed out that the rug had been seen in her photos since April 2020, revealing that it was not, in fact, a new rug.

There was also the case of Lacey Jade Christie, the Melbourne woman who faced criticism after she posted a TikTok video of herself wearing a white dress with a low neckline to her friend's wedding.

Wearing white to a wedding has long been considered taboo as it could be seen as trying to upstage the bride on her special day. In the comments section of the video, many viewers judged Lacey as an 'attention-seeker' and 'trashy' for breaking this cardinal rule.

While Lacey defended her choice of outfit and claimed that she had permission from the brides before the ceremony, the incident still sparked debate online about the importance of following wedding etiquette, regardless of the couple's personal preferences.

Members, these stories just go to show how important it is to think twice before posting on social media.

It's important to remember that these actions not only affect ourselves but also the people around us.

So, let's discuss, do you think social media influencers should be held responsible for their actions and the inappropriate images they post? We'd love to hear your thoughts on this matter. Don't be shy and drop a comment below.

Look, I’m sorry, but who do these airheads ‘influence’? Are there really people out there stupid enough to be influenced by someone they’ll never meet, rabbiting on about the best way to apply eyeliner or how to create an exciting meal comprised of yesterday’s leftover Dominos and Maccas?

When you’ve invented a cure for the common cold or done aid work for a year in Ethiopia, get back to me.

I wonder if the person sought permission from Coles to go ahead and do this? If they didn't and her child fell off the shelf then she would have a hard time persuing compensation.

 

[Teddy is my boy]

I must be pretty dumb as l always imagined these types of posts with children were photo shopped

 

[Penny4]

Not sure what the significance is of sitting with cereal.

 

[Simplelife]

The sad thing is these People are mostly influencing the young and easily led. They have no qualifications that I can ascertain but instead seem to be narcissistic attention seekers. I find them totally ridiculous. And they call it a career. Go and find something worthwhile to do with your lives!

 

[Fat&fancy]

Not sure what the significance is of sitting with cereal.

I think it was an attempt to let people know her daughter was a marked down item, some peoples sense of humour evades me.

 

[Ricci]

What is the opposite of influencer? Well, whatever it is that's how I think of these people. All they are interested in is upping their followers, getting more likes and raising untold wealth off the backs of idiots who think the sun shines out of their nether regions. These people seriously need to get a life and realise just how important they really are, hint, not very!

 

[Suzanne rose]

I would say coles would not have allowed this. To get this photo she would have removed alot if boxes of cereal...hopefully she replaced them how she found them.

Now as for photos of her daughter , she can post what she wants as long as she doesn't put her child in danger or annoy others.

My son won't allow photos of their children to be posted . One of my daughter's only post privately.

My daughter inlaw post regularly on Instagram, she receives hundreds of dollars in free clothing for both her daughters if she promotes them on insta. So she dresses them in these clothes and takes photos at a number of locations

Anything for LIKES and money huh? These useless so-called "Influencers" need to look outside themselves and consider others. They get paid to show-off antics and themselves. Basically, they get paid to do nothing useful. If they endanger or use innocents for profit, they don't deserve to be parents and should face some consequences. Grow up and get a real job that gives back to society and the economy.

 

[mylittletibbies]

Don't follow any so-called influencers, hope I've got more brains than that.
Who made them experts, what makes them think their opinion is important.Beats me why people follow them.

Social media influencers - My G** what are these people? I wonder who are the bigger idiots, them or the idiots who let themselves be influenced by them ? On second thoughts they are not the idiots they first appear to be, they are evidentaly very smart con artists.

As my old Mother would say - The World Has Gone Mad !
Happily they don't influence me in the slightest !
I'm a Confirmed and Happy Luddite who point blank refuses to walk the streets with a mobile phone growing out of my right ear !
