Hey everyone — I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “Influencers Gone Wild” phenomenon (like what’s described on Influencers Gone Wild).

Influencers seem to be pushing increasingly extreme “wild” or unfiltered behavior just to stay relevant, go viral, or shock their audience. Some of these tactics are very calculated — not just for authenticity, but for attention, clicks, or brand deals.

At the same time, it’s not just about them — there are real ethical, mental health, and societal costs. For example:

• Reckless stunts or dangerous challenges.

• Scams, fake endorsements, or misleading charity campaigns.
