If you use platforms like TikTok or Instagram, you've probably come across a video of an influencer recommending a new song to listen to.
These creators often seem like regular people, sharing their love of music. But as NPR's Isabella Gomez Hermiento reports, some of the videos are a form of hidden advertising. NPR spoke with five influencers who said they often accept payments to promote a song or artist on social media without disclosing sponsorship.
