Long time lurker, finally driven to post today by Brummy. I'm starting to feel really quite anxious about everything, as I am sure many of us are, so whilst the youngest is napping I have taken the time to try and unwind, use social media etc. It's suddenly become so much more apparent how utterly selfish and narcissistic so many of these 'influencers 'are !! To log on and see ads and swipe ups being peddled in a time where so many people are already falling on financial hardship, as well as emotionally and physically .. it is SO tone deaf and SO infuriating . No, I don't want to see adverts for Vodafone or whatever next and no one wants to see swipe ups for your book. Sit down with your children, turn off the tv , support their ongoing education- my Aunt home-eds and she has posted so many valuable links to ebooks, workbooks, websites with materials anyone can use .
It doesn't normally affect me quite so much, but they need to read the room: lay off with the ads , no one is in any position to buy your crap! So many people local to me are demonstrating such a degree of kindness and selflessness that it has reminded me that there is still so much good to be found - and then there is this piece of work, waffling on her normal nonsense and peddling her naff book!
Rant over, so sorry! She has really got my back up today, as have many others on the 'gram today.
