I know its gotta be hell dealing with "influencers" asking for everything under the sun for free with same phrase "I'll promote you on my page". Halfsies Cookie owner has had enough of folks asking for freebies, especially peeps who don't follow their page. He started airing them out on his company page.

Link: New York cookie shop owner shuts down 'influencer'
An aspiring influencer reached out to a popular New York cookie brand in an effort to launch a collaboration ahead of her wedding, but instead was met with a monumental takedown.
Ana Montealegre, a recent college graduate and 'beginner influencer,' emailed Halfsies Cookie Company about including some of the brand's cookies in her bridal party boxes.
The business' owner David Maffei directed Montealegre to the brand's website, where she might place an order.
But the young bride-to-be was interested in pursuing a collaboration with the brand that would mean free cookies provided to her and her bridal party, presumably in exchange for coverage across her social media accounts.
Unfortunately, Montealegre did not appear to realize just how wrong of a tree she was barking up.
Maffei responded to Montealgre's email describing herself as an influencer, who had 'collaborated with a few brands,' by telling her: 'Sorry, you're not an influencer.'
In a video montage of the exchange he posted to Halfsies' official Instagram page, he flamed the bride by highlighting her followings online, which includes TikTok where she boasts 904 followers.
Standing up for herself, in what was perhaps a misguided effort, Montealegre wrote back: 'I'm a beginner influencer.'
'And I'm a beginner astronaut,' responded Maffei.
Over the video exchange that he uploaded to Instagram, Maffei played the song 'For Free,' by DJ Khaled.
