They absolutely should as well. Influencers are relatively worse though, because they are usually much less transparent in their advertising than marketing companies. Influencers pose as entertainers and often disguises their advertising as part of that entertainment. It doesn't help one bit that a lot of influencers have channels that are directly aimed at children, who are even less prone to know they are being advertised at.
