If you’ve scrolled through Instagram or TikTok recently, you’ve probably seen the “deinfluencing” trend. It’s just as it sounds. People who are normally known for sharing recommendations and encouraging their followers to buy products (AKA influencers) are flipping the script by sharing the products they don’t recommend.
