Since social media has existed, people have made spectacular fools of themselves by sharing things they shouldn’t. Now that Instagram and YouTube have evolved into money-making behemoths, we no longer call these “that time Uncle Harry was a total idiot”, and now we call them “Controversial influencer scandals”. These are those moments that the rich and famous (or just the people who take pretty pictures and post them with inspiring quotes) make absolutely horrible decisions and share it with thousands upon thousands of followers. These blunders span the gamut: sometimes they’re nothing more than eating fish when you say you’re a vegetarian. Yet, at different occasions these celebrity influencers manage to create a scandal so truly scandalous, and honestly so bad that it’s astounding they have any followers afterward. We’re talking Logan Paul in the suicide forest. We’re talking the college admissions scandal. We’re talking about half of the things that PewDiePie has ever done in his lifetime. If you consider yourself well-connected or think that you know what’s happening in the world of social media, then this is the quiz for you: it’s not just whether or not you know about the scandals, it's going above and beyond. Would you be able to name the celebrity influencer at the core of each scandal? Sure, you might know that there was a guy and his wife who got dismissed from YouTube for destroying their children’s belongings and laughing when the kids cried, but can you name him? In the event that you see yourself as well-associated or feel that you realize what's going on in the realm of internet based life, at that point this is the test for you: it's not simply whether you think about the outrages, it's going above and beyond. Would you be able to name the big name influencer at the core of every embarrassment? Of course, you may realize that there was a person and his significant other who got dismissed from YouTube for wrecking their youngsters' possessions and giggling when the children cried, yet would you be able to name him? Yes, that is the DaddyoFive scandal, and yes you should probably know that one. So if you think that you’re prepared to tackle the world of influencers and all the mistakes they make, this quiz is for you. Let’s find out how well you know these celebrity influencer scandals.
