Why do Instagram “influencers” post products with the caption, “Comment ‘link’ and I’ll DM you the link”

102 viewsOther

This has to be the most infuriating pattern/trend.. Is it a trend? Why do people do it? If it was “Enter your email and I’ll send you the link”, that I can understand, because you’re joining a mailing list, but there isn’t such a thing with Insta DM’s are there?

The link they send you has their affiliate id attached to it (in the form of a bunch or gobbeldygook after the main portion of the URL), so they can be credited for their portion of driving customers to retailer/MLM.

They’ll be paid back in the form of cash money or product credit.
