More than 50% influencer issue and drama comes from them lying/being fake/not truthful while trading on the idea that they are, in fact, sincere.

Some tech bro with uncountable level IQ: yo, what if we automated faking content for influencers?

A lot of criticism of social media apps comes from unrealistic expectations that arise from all you ever see being the sexy cool moments of everyone's lives.

Techbro, vibrating with barely contained genius: bro what if we made AI fake your sexy life on Instagram?

Motherfucker worked for Facebook

Then launched an app for teens to anonymously compliment each other. This somehow necessitated investment by like 10 VC firms. Bought out by Facebook and discontinued within a year.

Five years later, launched an app for teens to anonymously compliment each other with the option to pay $7 to find out who voted that you "would make an ugly face and still look pretty." Bought out by Discord, not dead.

Now that's a captain of the industry and a brave innovator!

I have no clue what goes in what passed for a brain in a venture capitalist when they decide to invest in next-to-impossible to monetize apps.

On the other hands, those motherfuckers invested into "juicer with proprietary shredded fruit packets you can squeeze by hand" and "blood tests literally impossible under standard model of physics" - if there was ever more proof that money does not correlate to skill or merit, this is it.
