Instagram Celebrity Del Boy & Rodneys everywhere

I’m new to Instagram.
Originally thought it was just a place for people to post arty photos like an aeroplane wing in the clouds or a filtered eggs benedict. So I avoided.

But I heard it’s actually a handy tool for finding things you’re interested in and a source of humour for funny clips etc.

Anyway. I started following some celebs. Starting with ‘real’ stars like singers & actors but then I followed a few reality type ones....

.... what the hell. It’s a whole underground market stall of them all desperately trying to flog tat!!
Cheap versions of AirPods, cheap versions of apple watches, gym leggings, blackhead removers, eyelashes, Pajamas, skinny drinks etc etc.
And I bet they don’t even like or us the product but they are there “this watch is amaaaazing I literally use it like eeeevery day and if you swipe up you can have one too for only £29.99”

“Guys I just wanted to show you this amaaazing spot cream, look at it it’s soooo creamy it’s the beat cream I’ve ever had, use my code to get yours for 10% off”

Have they all been watching Only Fools & Horses?

Is this an actual career now? Get followers and sell them tat you don’t actually like?

Obvs all unfollowed now.

ANY recommendations for good people to follow who don’t try and sell shit?

Stacey Solomon is lovely and sells nothing. I'm mostly on Instagram for her!

Kate Lawler - her content is mostly about her dogs, she is also very hilarious

Celeste barber is hysterical

Rosie Ramsey is hilarious. Always cheers me up.
Don't follow Stacey Solomon unless you want to feel like an (at best) very average parent
