According to the YouTube channel " This Is Tech Today ", Google seems to be looking for an influencer to demonstrate Pixel 3 to announce on October 4th.

In addition, this Famebit is a service that allows you to easily find influencers that help companies spread the products they want to promote to the public.

The advertisement of Famebit to recruit influencers is as follows. The announcement date is written as "October 4, 2018" in the item "About the Brand", and the item "Campaign Goals" is clearly stated as "a person who is not currently a Google Pixel user". In addition, the remuneration paid to Influencer is up to $ 10,000 (about 1.1 million yen).

For "Famebit" advertisement, "(smartphone) to switch to Pixel 3 and distribute movies" is required, which means that users using a terminal other than the Pixel series will use Pixel 3 It can be said that it is strong evidence.
