In a world where health and beauty trends spread quickly and powerfully, the series "Apple Cider Vinegar" and the documentary "The Search For Instagram's Worst Con Artist" offer important insight into the impact of social media and the scams associated with these platforms.

Both projects, although following different narrative lines, expose a similar phenomenon: the use of influencers and dubious marketing to manipulate consumers and foster trust in products and services that are often inaccurate or dangerous.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Health Scams

"Apple Cider Vinegar" asks an important question about health and beauty culture:

How did a simple, natural substance become a global trend, and how can it be used irresponsibly to create illusions of insecurity and deception for users?

The series examines how many influencers and unauthorized experts use platforms such as Instagram to promote ACV as a solution for everything from weight loss to skin care, without providing any credible scientific basis.

Similarly, “The Search For Instagram’s Worst Con Artist” is a documentary that explores how scammers use Instagram and other social media platforms to create fake personas and manipulate followers into buying dubious products . This documentary examines the story of a notorious con artist who exploited her influence on the Instagram platform to spread inaccurate information and sell dangerous or useless products to consumers. Her story is a warning to people who blindly trust influencers and the unverified advertising of the information they spread.
