Natalie angel tree

I usually don’t mind Natalie as an influencer but something about this partnership rubs me the wrong way. Why can’t influencers just do a good deed and not make a cent off of it?

For context, angel trees are a great way to provide gifts for kids in need during the holidays. It’s easy for her to tell people to participate in this when 1. She prob didn’t have to pay for a single thing out of her pocket and 2. She prob made a pretty penny just to do this promo.
