'Content won't make itself': Two tourists caught 'faking farm work' in Bali for Instagram views

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Influencers are often accused of lying and manipulating their followers, but a couple of Instagramers appear to have taken it to a whole other level. Two tourists have been caught online "faking farm work" in Bali, apparently for more views.

In a video, the two appear to be at work by climbing onto a farmer's machinery. But they quickly hop off the apparatus once the camera is placed down, revealing that a friend is actually videotaping them. The pal was filming the young couple in swimsuits as they crossed a muddy marsh and then jumped onto the machinery. Until the would-be influencers leave, the farmer waits patiently off to the side and then steps back on.

'They finally got a real job'

Ubud on Acid, an online influencer watchdog, posted the video on Instagram with the caption, "All for the gram." "They finally got a real job!" another user wrote. "Haha, classic 😂 that definitely made the farmer's day! 👏 I've always wanted to give one of them a go, though not had the balls to ask the farmer for a ride. Good on them for having a laugh. I don't think they're seriously trying to pose like they're "working hard," the same one someone snapping a selfie holding a gun isn't posing like they're in the military. Watch out though guys, if the banjar catch on, you may get deported for working illegally," someone else claimed.

'Content won't make itself'

Many people questioned what they said to the farmer to convince him to let them film. According to a commenter, "Content won't make itself." "Imagine the initial question though? "Um hi farmer who is working hard in the field, I'm Dylan from USA this is Kylie, Can I borrow your tractor for a moment to film myself riding on it? Please?"' said another. One person suggested they should 'ban phones' in Bali. "Get off! Don't confuse the frogs!" said one. Another wondered, "What's her role in this?"

A user wrote, "We are almost back to the prehistoric Bronze Age, when ancient humans were not yet fully clothed, producing food by farming and using traditional bronze tools. What's different is they use iron tools now, lol."
