Episode 45: Are influencers lying to you?
Episode 45
Monday, 1 September, 2025

This week on the Thick podcast, Michelle and Kelsey tackle the growing online narrative that “influencers are lying to you” — and why it’s not that simple. We break down how product opinions are deeply personal (what works wonders for one person might be a total flop for another) and how skin type, prep, and even genetics can completely change a product’s performance. We talk about why most creators simply don’t talk about products they dislike, how we choose which brands to work with, and the reality behind paid partnerships. Plus, we share why it’s dangerous for anyone to claim they’re the ultimate authority on whether a product is “good” or “bad,” and why discernment matters more than ever as a consumer.
