If the cocktail influencer started making videos with the intent of getting paid then their judgement is already clouded. Even if they decided they wanted to do the morally correct thing and give honest reviews, their livelihood now depends on this income and as such they are biased subconsciously. Ultimately they are self-employed advertisers. We need less advertising in this world, IMO.

So making movies with the intention of getting paid means my judgment is clouded? Can’t a job be a job? Does it have to always be in the service of some grander or more artistic purpose?
