It's known for quite a while that only a minuscule fraction[1] of the digital advertising results in actual conversion. But, marketers have come into terms that even it is worth spending large money; it's just that only those without a large budget and expecting miracles out of digital advertising end up as total losers.
Then again, with the influencers/celebrity culture, the landscape of digital advertising has changed. Hence, Instagram supposedly leads when it comes to organic conversions. Good news here is, those who don't want such ads can stay away from the platform (or) that influencer. Bad news is, it is resulting in creating hoards of gullible, programmable masses with little effort, who can be exploited for various nefarious activities which can have an effect even outside of those platforms.
