    honestly I thought this was great but then I read the article

    “We did it so that we could make a better living and not be dependent on other people who have egos, who have manias, or who just want to make a lot of money by posing,” The Clueless founder Rubén Cruz told Euronews.

    Diana Núñez, co-founder of The Clueless, told Fortune in an email that the pair were mainly taken aback by the “skyrocketing costs” of those influencers.

    It has proved a highly lucrative venture for the company, with Cruz telling Euronews that Aitana brings in an average of €3,000 ($3,300) a month, but on one occasion took in €10,000 ($10,900). Núñez told Fortune that most of this money comes from social media ads, and Aitana has also signed on to become an ambassador for a sports supplement brand.

    for context , according to SalaryExplorer.com wages for fashion models in Spain range between 1 320€ and 3 700€ , with the median being 2 190 €
