What are you talking about? Influencers are advertising, and are likewise banned.

How would you ban influencers? They are just content creators. Anyone can sponsor their work.

I can sponsor an open source project whose work I like. Likewise I can (and have) sponsored musicians.

Why couldn’t a corporation sponsor someone who for example makes youtube videos about fashion, or a tech blogger for that matter?

I don't think I would need to work very hard to show that this was paid endorsement.
