Hi there, I’m new here.
I’m still understanding how to use the forum, but I saw someone talk about how they had previously watched Anna’s videos on Youtube and agreed with her up until a certain point. I am one of those people too. I had become rather neutral towards her before I discovered this forum, and when I did, it was impossible for me not to notice the obvious. I’ve noticed she is rather aggressive in her latest videos and I bet she is sensing the fact that her followers (or at least a part of them) are awakening and starting to see the whole truth behind her lies.
I used to watch Anna’s videos a lot during a hard time in college. Yeah, she really has a talent for targeting young girls in vulnerable positions, maybe heartbroken or simply who are aspiring to become better. I didn't have the money at that time to dress the way she advised, even on a budget. I could do a few improvements here and there, but not that much. In my country, for students like me, even Zara was expensive. I'm from Eastern Europe and although I was lucky enough not to pay for my college taxes due to the results I had, I still had accommodation and other expenses (such as books, because I am the kind of person who would rather invest in books than buy an expensive bracelet or whatever). Not saying that I didn't like clothes, but my priority at that moment in my life was studying since I’ve always been very passionate about it.
Yeeet, I was at the same time young and inexperienced, sometimes lonely and that is how I came across her videos. As I listened to the content she presented in her videos, they seemed so different from my mentality and from my parents’ and grandparents’ mentality. (I’m also from the countryside where people until recently, but some of them even now care more about working the land rather than affluence or even studying because in the past it was been the main source of food and income). So you can imagine; a country girl in a big city, listening to pieces of advice from an "affluent" woman: it all seemed fresh, totally different from what I was taught so you can imagine the fascination. Sadly, at that time, I was somehow certain that Anna knew how it felt like to struggle as I did, and that she had to know the answers to all of my burning questions.
I watched her videos for days, weeks and then, months until at some point, out of nowhere I had the realisation that what she was saying and what she was doing were two complete opposite things. I didn’t know about the pictures that have been posted here and the inappropriate circumstances with that man who isn’t even her husband. It was just the fact that at some point, I looked on her Instagram profile and saw she was wearing a metallic dress. Not many months prior to that, she had taught about how unelegant that was in one of her videos. And she has a way of 'teaching' as if blaming people who do 'that’, whereas when she makes a mistake it’s human and people should just mind their own business. I would have understood if she had said that years before, but really, you say one thing and a few months pass and you change your mind? A mature woman with a secure place in the 'high' society, promoting herself mainly because of this 'inner compass' that points only to elegance and is fixed on those ideas changes her mind like a teenager?
I am the type of person who is constant in her behaviour, but at the same time, I don't like to emit ultimatums. You never know how life turns around, what situations you find yourself in. I don't judge her for what she is wearing because I am not as shallow as she is, but what I want to say is that she is losing her credibility through this sort of behaviour.
Moreover, I kind of condemn her for some things. She judges people, she doesn't promote content that is uplifting, as she maybe would like to promote it. Her entire channel is about look at this and look at that. She likes affluent people, affluent men actually but seems to hate affluent women who are too much of this or too much of that, maybe because she knows she would never be like them, no matter how hard she tries. I am not fond of makeup and surgeries and I don’t blame people who like them but she blames people who do not like them by calling them plain Jane. What is a plain Jane, a woman who is honest as she would never be?
She hates both women who are more natural, and women who wear makeup or dress up, always finding something that is too much or too little. Her concern with clothes and appearance never questions something deeper and meaningful. You never see her displaying compassion for people who are in a more disadvantaged position. If my younger self listened to her and invested more in looks in that crucial moment of my life when my money was so scarce, I think that I would have been jobless at this point and my academic career would have collapsed eventually because I would have cared only about getting richer, only about finding the man who could secure all that she was promising, and eventually, I would have bought her courses too to complete the steps towards becoming a wannabe prostitute without even knowing it.
By the way, have you noticed that the only books she ever talked about are The Secret series? Really, an affluent person from high society reads only three books in 30-something years of their life? I am not asking her to start giving lectures on literature, but what I mean is that she doesn't promote anything that is deeper. I bet she never opened a book of classic literature and she might as well consider that Giovanni Boccaccio is a shoe brand. She said she had studied marketing, what was the best book she read during her studies on that? She never displays a library, a collection of books, paintings, music, whatever cultural, educational thing... that one would associate with high society. Or even a desk where she works or writes her courses? Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot they were plagiarised.
Also, the excuse of being bullied. So bullying stopped her from getting a degree, but she never thought of this as a reason that would stop her from joining Paradise Hotel?
I'm sorry if I sound like an elitist, but what I mean to say is that she is uncultured. After I opened my eyes, I have realised that she has no empathy, no respect for people who might have it harder. She addresses her videos to her imaginary friends who are affluent, but dumb enough to take her advice and spend money on her classes.
A person truly levelling up doesn't put superficial things on the top of priorities because they know that levelling up starts from within and that when you are doing the right thing, rewards of either spiritual or material value will eventually appear in your life. It's not enough to dress for what you want to become and in fact it's useless if you don't have the skills. You might fool people who are shallow with some fancy clothes, but not people who actually know what they're doing.
Also, for students or people working in a specific field: why make yourself available on her millionaire locations where people party when you can actually go to a conference and meet there people who are from the same field as you are, people who might recognise your skills and who would help you in achieving something? I don't think you need to go to parties where rich men search for prostitutes to level up.
In her latest videos, she keeps mentioning the fact that she stagnated a lot in her journey and kept on repeating mistakes. It's almost some passive-aggressiveness that she shows towards herself but wouldn't admit. She is filled with hate towards herself and I suspect that she even hates her followers, especially the ones who actually know what to do with their lives because, in fact, she doesn't know what to do with hers. She keeps on mentioning the fact that she was stagnating in her journey because she still is.
Also, concerning her latest video on New Money: what is she trying to say is that she is new money but doesn't act like all the other people who are new money because she is above them. But, I'm actually afraid that she would act the same or even worse if she had a quarter of the financial wealth of a new money.
Sorry for this long rant, but I feel that I've had to put it this way for people who are still her followers and are browsing through this forum and might need a wake-up call too.
