Josh Ling @ Adopt Me!

Ok so I just saw this article about influencers faking sponsorships and it reminded me of earlier this year, when I saw an influencer I knew at the airport. He was going on the latest of many sponsored trips - and on my flight! We made smalltalk and then parted ways.

I take out my contacts before the flight because I always fall asleep on planes. My friend and I arrive at the terminal kind of late because we were eating, and are last in line onto the plane. I vaguely recognize the person in line in front of me as a friend of the influencer.
