Social media platforms have assumed an important role in our lives, impacting not only our purchasing decisions but also shaping our perspectives and worldview. Platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have been shown in studies to exert significant influence on voters, even leading to substantial changes in election outcomes. This underscores the immense power wielded by social media platforms.
A prominent aspect of these platforms is the growing impact of influencers in shaping public opinion. Influencers have attained remarkable authority, capable of transforming preferences in diverse domains, fostering new consumer behaviours, and persuading their audience to switch allegiances regarding brands and other matters.
Consequently, companies and product manufacturers now attach considerable significance to influencers. In light of this, a vital question arises: How seriously should consumers regard influencers? Let us explore this matter within a broader context.

• Mega-influencers: These individuals possess more than a million followers and are often celebrities
• Macro-influencers: This category comprises individuals with follower counts ranging from 1,00,000 to 1 million
