This is my issue with the Tattle complainers, I’ve said nothing on here that Iwouldnt say on conversation with any of them personally., I don’t body shame, I don’t DM them and send them hate, I just chat with online friends what I’ve been watching on insta, the same as I chat with friends at work about people and situations there. Why would I be ashamed of that ?

Exactly.
This is the point I was trying to make a few days ago - can’t remember if it was on this thread or the Ash Reid thread. They all threaten with this “if we find out who you are, we are going to tell your family and your friends and your employer that you post on tattle” - as if that’s some kind of serious threat! No. My family, friends & employer first off wouldn’t have a CLUE who any of these idiots are - like, at all. They wouldn’t know and genuinely wouldn’t care. And they are MY friends, MY family, MY employer - they know me, in real life, in the real world - they wouldn’t care a damn if I’ve posted some chat on an anonymous online forum about some inconsequential random person from The internet that they have never heard of or have no knowledge of!
The notion that any of them would care is laughable.
The arrogance of these people just blows me away - that they think so much of themselves that they genuinely think that the public at large would care!
They all need to turn their phones off and start living life in reality with real people - I may post about them but it’s like 0.05% of my actual life - I close down the tattle window on my phone and it’s gone - it no longer exists; they are not any real part of my real world life and nothing they can ever do or say or threaten is ever going to have any real world effect on me and THAT is what eats them all up inside - that for them, this is their lives - they have laid so much out online that we know it all but they haven’t got the same leverage on anyone here and it drives them all mad.
Someone in comments under that video said the owner of Tattle should be dragged through the courts. For what exactly? What is the crime being committed? They just don't get that being offended and outraged is not a crime.
And some saying Andy should be allowed to say anything and if he has done anything illegal the law will sort it out. Yes it's a novel concept called Free Speech. Yet they fail to apply this logic to comments here?
I wonder he long he leaves it before he creeps back? Comments turned off no doubt

They are quick to tar every1 with the same brush - which is very discriminatory behavior.
There can be nasty comments from users - if any1 has a problem with those then report it.
Does not mean that we are all nasty, all vindictive and all out to get influencers?
Some comments, if read by the person in question would actually be beneficial. (@ Andy - apologise sooner rather than later)
If they dont want to see the comments - dont read here, you are free to not listen to anyone elses opinion of you or what you do.
Amazing how they’re not going after Reddit, they’d be crushed in an instant and Reddit allows way more borderline content than Tattle does. In reality it’s exactly the same though, a message board for people to talk.
They will never be able to close down tattle - or any other online forum or gossip site or tabloid or magazine - yes people should be held accountable for actual criminal behaviour but thankfully we live in a society where we are allowed to freely express our opinions and equally they are freely allowed to disagree or STOP READING TATTLE! STOP REACTING TO IT!
If Mrs Hinch or PTWM couldnt get it shut down what on earth made him think he could its all hilarious
Has anyone seen Andy about the Town?
It would be an extremely sad world if grifters/advertisers were allowed to ply their trade completely unchallenged. Which is of course what they want.
Tattle opened my eyes years ago to the manipulative tactics influencers use, plus the extremely loose adherence to advertising rules. I naively thought they kept mentioning products because they actually liked them. The thought they were secretly being paid to say it never crossed my mind.
They just want to be allowed to carry on playing fast and loose with regulations unchallenged.
Almost every other industry has a regulatory body to oversee fair and best practise. If I see a Rimmel foundation advertised on TV I’ll see a disclaimer on the bottom of the screen informing me that the image may be enhanced which allows me to make an informed decision as a consumer.
If I see an influencer advertising the same foundation on Instagram chances are that they’ll have a filter on and they’re being paid to tell me the product is fantastic.They might even shell out a 10% discount code to encourage me to part with my money.Quite a few of them won’t disclose that they have a filter on enhancing the appearance of their skin and exaggerating the performance of the foundation. They might not even bother to inform people they’re being paid to promote the product or do it in a very underhand way like posting #ad in tiny white text against an all white background.
It’s false advertising plain and simple and in any other circumstances it wouldn’t be allowed. Unless you turn a blind eye and tell them how wonderful they are you deserve to be humiliated on social media or lose your job
that’ll teach the “trolls”.It’s amazing to me that hotels and restaurants haven’t tried to shut down Tripadvisor yet. How dare people have an opinion and have the audacity to post it on the internet?!

I much prefer whoever is behind this site to earn money from ads than greedy, conniving influencers who don't care about their child's privacy because they care more about lining their pockets.
I might be a throll but I've never put my children's images online or shared anything about them that they could possibly find extremely embarrassing when they're older. Many influencers can't say that. Why isn't Tampx upset about people like Hunch putting videos of her son on the toilet?

Genuine question, but why does Andy and co seem to think that the mental health of influencers matters above the mental health of anyone else?
Bit of a long story but going back a few years to 2013 when instagram was really getting big, I had just finished uni and moved into my own place and had gone from having no living expenses and being given a grand 3x a year to use basically for clothes and going out by the student finance people to being on a minimum wage job doing admin in a call centre, 80% of my small wage going on paying for my apartment and struggling some months to even put £20 on the gas card. I had put on some weight from my size 8 uni body and had a very rocky relationship with my partner at the time who was doing his joinery apprenticeship so had even less money than me.
So a 22 year old girl, not even earning enough to heat my 1 bed ex council flat properly, watching my relationship go more and more down the pan every day, and having a changing body shape with cellulite etc, and so already feeling like the biggest failure known to man, to then add influencers into the mix with all their "wealth" showing off their fancy homes, flash cars and expensive holidays, perfect relationships, perfect bodys, as a naive 22 year old I just took it all at face value believing it to be real, and at times I did doubt if it was even worth me being here. At this time, influencers 100% caused me to feel worse than I needed to.
Things are thankfully much better for me career wise now and obviously now I am 30, I know that so much of what you see on instagram is fake as duck, so for example, luxury stays at the burj al arab might in fact be financed by an escorting trip, the "high end car" that you see an influencer driving and pretending is brand new might actually be 10 years old but but the influencer never shows the reg plate and is probably financed up to their eyeballs, that "perfect body" is photoshopped to high heaven etc etc....but unfortunately 22 year olds of today might not know that, just as I didn't, and so influencers continue to make young people working normal jobs and living within their means feel like they're worthless, affecting their mental health for what?! A few kiss arse comments from strangers on Instagram?!
If anything, I'd say Tattle improves mental health for the majority -not saying some influencers aren't well off, but others do exaggerate things and there so much smoke and mirrors - because it just confirm exactly how much deception there is with influencers and how much of what is shown isnt true.

Completely agree. My background is in finance and with that, this makes me skin crawl. The fact is the current culture of keeping up with influencers is going to leave millions of real people in financial ruin. It’s now the norm to put hoards of clothes on Klarna, finance cars we cannot afford, opt to live at home with parents for the simple reason if we saved for a mortgage, paid rent or had normal adult responsibilities we’d have to give up getting filler and going on holidays that make us look wealthy. It’s none of my business but I do worry so much for people. I see so many working in roles that don’t make much above minimum wage but they’re always in designer clothes, off to Dubai, out for expensive meals, driving new Audis, the house is done in panelling and herringbone. I reflect on my own finances and when I go over those numbers even as someone well paid, good savings and with a partner earning good money I would be in debt up to my eyeballs to keep up. Debt drives people to suicide, rips families apart and ruins relationships. In our parents day this way of living was known as “fur coat, no knickers” but now it’s so common it’s not even thought of.
Hahahaha it's back. Thon suit most punchable face ever
most punchable face everAttachments
Funny how he only mentions one daughter ??
Here we bleeping go again.... surely nobody can be that arrogant and pig headed. 
His ex has made it clear she's not to be mentioned or featured on social media at all.
For me, Tattle really exposed the other side to influencer culture, the more dark, manipulative side of it.
I was totally unaware of how often I was consuming content that wasn't being honest or transparent.
So many times I've almost bought products being plugged by inflencers and not realised the products fall short because they are advertised under special lighting/ filters or just blatant lies (tooth whitening stuff on undeclared veneers comes to mind).
As someone already pointed out, if this was a magazine or TV advert it would face greater scrutiny.
I dislike that young people are getting into shitloads of debt consuming and trying to keep up with trends. Its easier now than before with Klarna and Clearpay too. It pisses me off how influencers bandwagon hop with current issues (environment, BLM, women's issues etc). Their general consumption, buy in to fast fashion and lack of awareness when it comes to cheap brands that exploit slave labour leaves a lot to be desired.
They are selling an aesthetic few of them can actually afford. They should absolutely be more regulated.
If conversations could take place and feedback be received without being written off as trolling, again we would have less to post about.
