De-Influencing in Digital Communication approaches content practices that discourage consumption on social media not as a short-lived platform trend or a negative mirror image of influencer marketing, but as a critical object of digital communication. The book brings together four chapters, framed by an editorial introduction and a concluding assessment, that examine de-influencing through consumer culture, anti-consumption, platform capitalism, digital labour and digital trust. Discussing forms of refusal, the limits of ethical restraint, the political economy of influencer labour and the paradox of authenticity, the chapters show de-influencing to be a hybrid communicative practice through which trust is renegotiated within the recommendation economy.
