    I often find myself asking, when I see reference to the shenanigans of these "influencers": Who is being influenced, and to do what? What's the endgame here? I appreciate I'm a grumpy old man so...

    Who is being influenced, and to do what?

    What's the endgame here? I appreciate I'm a grumpy old man so far outside of the loop that the loop is a dot to me, but maybe I'm just missing something obvious?

      Yeah, it’s pretty weird they chose a toxic dump to take their photos at, since turquoise water is not exactly uncommon. Almost every mountain glacier fed river and shallow lake during spring thaw...

      It is also just strange because I am sure there are plenty of actual lakes around the world that look like this naturally.

      Yeah, it’s pretty weird they chose a toxic dump to take their photos at, since turquoise water is not exactly uncommon. Almost every mountain glacier fed river and shallow lake during spring thaw will have that colour due to the high concentrations of rock flour suspended in them, and there are a ton of those in the Rockies, Alps, Andies, Scandes and Himalayas. But after a quick google search there doesn’t actually appear to be any in Russia... so I guess these influencers are taking what they can get.
