Why UGC is Dying (And What's Next)

For 5 years, User Generated Content (UGC) was the cheat code.

But in 2025, everyone knows it's an ad. The "fake testimonial" from a 22-year-old influencer doesn't build trust anymore. It builds skepticism.

Enter "Polished AI"

We are seeing a return to high-quality, brand-centric visuals. Not boring corporate stock photos, but hyper-real, perfect lighting product shots that look expensive.

Why the shift?

In a recession, people want to buy from "Real Brands", not dropshippers. High-quality visuals signal stability and trust.

AI allows you to create these "Studio Quality" shots without renting a studio.
