Ask Do people trust a sponsored post less than an organic one from the same creator?

[Brajet]

A sponsored post is content a creator gets paid to share, while an organic post comes from the creator's own genuine choice without any payment involved. Many people say they can spot a sponsored post right away and judge it with more caution, even when it comes from a creator they already trust. Does that small label of being paid actually lower trust in the message, or do followers judge the content on its own merit regardless of payment?
