This year’s festival sparked debate over the surge in influencer content — a big shift from past editions. Behind the glossy posts? Long showers, missed meals, chaos. TikTok creator Justine’s Camera Roll claims top figures get up to $10,000 — or VIP perks — to attend and post. Her message: keep creating, you could be there too. But many viewers are skeptical, calling it fake hype and pushing to cancel next weekend’s event. Truth: influencers *are* paid, but not by the festival. Brands like Revolve, H&M, and others fund these trips to promote their activations. It’s marketing, not scandal. Is this pay-to-play killing authenticity? Or just the new normal? #festival#influencers#coachella FirstPass
