Influencers are now willing to do anything to earn money. Although their propaganda goes against the society, they are not harmed by it. They value more on money. Moreover, in reality there is no way to say anything to them. This is only possible if the government prohibits or discourages them. Currently, the promotion of gambling sites on social media has increased so much that it is now creating a big problem especially for those who are not suitable for gambling. I've seen quite a few big influencer campaigns on my social media recently and I'm surprised to see celebrities conduct gambling campaigns like them. It is true that an influencer gets a lot of money for gambling promotion which no other platforms or businesses organization can offer. Due to which people are becoming more interested in gambling promotions. Anyway we all should raise awareness.

And that calls for being vigilant with what you are seeing over the net, particularly if you have kids who are now freely surfing the cyberspace. You need to instill the right things to do such as not to be tempted with what they are seeing or reading, don't be gullible with what the influencers are advising them to do, don't click unfamiliar sites as they might be phishing sites, among others.
Advise them not to easily fall from teasers or ads which are too-good-to-be-true. Most of them are fake and exaggerated.
Not only people need to be way more careful with the way they use the internet, they really need to begin to be more discerning with the content they choose to consume, during the last years people have grown more concerned about what they eat and the exercise necessary to keep their bodies healthy, but not such movement has surged to take care of their minds, after all if you consume nothing but the content posted by most influencers, what kind of effect do you think this can have on your mind? The same effect that you could get if you ate nothing but sweets of course.

Good point, if you can avoid those contents then you are preventing the possibilities that it can affect the way you think, there are many influencers even some of those that at first they've got decent contents but because of high demands and good  offers they allow those gambling business to penetrate and change the directions of their contents more on the money side, but moving back to that sentiments, if you don't mind those kinds of contents and you don't take time or invest time to learn about it, then there's nothing to worry as it won't pollute your minds.
