25$ to put something in front of a selfie, DIR or DIW?

If someone paid me $25 to do something like that on IG i would do it. Why not?

From a purely transactional perspective, it makes sense.

But it all depends on how genuine you are trying to be. If your whole motto is to show that you're just another regular guy (or gal in this case) that just happens to update their feed often, then I'd say there's a moral difference between posting a picture of you with a new product you paid with your (hard earned?) money because you believe its good and you're exited to use it, and posting a picture of something because it was shipped to you along with 25$.

There's a reason non of these girls will say "Asseto Corsa paid me 25$ to post with their game, so here it is". There's this illusion that while celebrities are expected to do paid advertisement, those homegrown characters are just regular fans/customers like everyone else so their opinions/actions have more chances to be treated as such.

These girls are "models" for thirsty boys with disposable income. They have influence over them and are marketable.

Absolutely. It's like the shit (tittie?) show that Twitch is becoming. I just don't find it very genuine.

There's a reason everybody's proud to list all their sponsors that helped support their race season but the 25$ a pop deal must be kept on the down low.

Bear has an s14 that she regularly shows off on her social media. By a lot of newer American based brands. Nothing I'm interested in.

According to the last thread i'm doing it wrong.
LS. Tubs.

I don't agree with that, but i will admit my car is doing it wrong on the exterior.
I wrecked my friends car and gave him my front end, which left me to scavenge through craigslist. After deployment goals are to have complete chuki aero with wheels and repaint the whole car its original KG1

If that's the engine bay, then I'm not seeing a diw.

I don't consider in progress builds diw. Exterior looks fine. Like the comment above, if that's the engine bay you're far from diw.

[jared420sx]

I usually like bad quality builds but this one.
This one is hurt.
I guess over flares are a thing now.
Whatever happened to metal fenders?

Flares on overfenders becoming more common doesn't make it more acceptable, it just means the cancer is spreading.

[SoundEfx]

What in that picture can any one point out as doing it 'wrong'?
They were probably mad because they thought that the purple clashes with the black and polish? lol.....lol

people in the first DIW and the first part of this thread were saying that all LS motors were doing it wrong, and tubs were doing it wrong.
i disagree, and posted my car as an example of what i think is doing it right.
i will however, agree that the exterior of my car is indeed doing it wrong...
