NEW: Fake video podcast ads have become a full-blown business. Brands are hiring actors -- who they find through Fiverr or Backstage -- to pretend like they're on a podcast where they're hyping up a product. These actors are making up to $25K/month doing this UGC-style work
h/t to @broderick who first covered the existence of these fake pods, especially how they're being used to promote onlyfans pages
@ashleyrcarman Have also seen people straight up just splice themselves into other people's podcasts. It's the wild wild west out there. x.com/chrisharihar/s…

@ashleyrcarman There's one thing we know for sure: the guy getting paid to be a fake podcast guest would never lie about how much he's paid. x.com/ashleyrcarman/…

@ashleyrcarman Seems pretty much like the infomercials that pretend to be talk shows or cooking shows or whatever.
@ashleyrcarman this is a dream job for grifters
@ashleyrcarman I hear a lot of Airbnb adds that are podcast style.
