An influencer's review only makes me wary of a product and makes me question their motives.

But I guess others don't see it that way, or they wouldn't be doing it.

Also depends on which source we are discussing. Many YouTube channel owners do no not call themselves "influencers" and just focus on their domains and are very strict about sponserships (some don't even accept sponsorships).
