Instagram influencer and overconsumption

Are you in the age group of 18-40? Have you ever felt that Instagram influencers and their content—such as hauls and excessive product reviews—have influenced you to buy more than you actually need? If so, I would love to hear from you! Whether you currently find yourself influenced by such content or have previously experienced overconsumption but have since overcome it, your insights are valuable for my undergraduate research on how Instagram promotes overconsumption among youth. The study involves a short 15-20 minute online interview on Zoom, where your identity will remain completely anonymous—I won’t even ask for your name, and you don’t need to turn your camera on. If you’re interested in participating, please reach out! Your help would mean a lot.
