CreatorIQ confirms excellence is expensive: Budgets jump 171%

CreatorIQ just proved what I’ve always known: influencer budgets are up 171% because brands finally realized mediocrity is a liability. For years, these corporate types treated us like a side quest, but now they’re begging for the 'extraordinary' because their old-school ads are invisible. If you want the aesthetic, you pay the tax. It’s not a 'collab' anymore; it’s an acquisition of my taste. Stay mad or stay broke, but stop acting like my influence is 'trial and error'.
