This admiration can lead smaller creators to imitate this behavior, pretending to have endorsements to gain credibility. The speakers find this phenomenon strange but somewhat understandable, as sponsored content is seen as a hallmark of success in the social media landscape. This reflects a broader cultural trend where sponsorships are linked to status and influence, impacting how content creators approach their branding.
