Influencer is a fancy word for salesman. Instead of going door to door like grandpa did in the old days, they stream directly to your device.

I don't see what's the problem. It's a proposal of a sponsorship with payment in nature (the expensive phones) instead of money. If the influencer disagrees, there's no problem and they can buy the phones by themselves, Google is not forced by law to send free phones to influencers.
I don't think that all those influencers are actually playing raid shadow legends or eating factor or using betterhelp.
