I got that message. I took it as generic influencer bashing that can’t be done on MN because they’re “real” people “just like you and me” (vs Theresa May or Tony Blair or kate Middleton or Katie price or bojo, or Corbyn or love islanders or any other fucker in the public domain who have clearly courted publicity for financial/political gain - who don’t count as humans like us, apparently, maybe they are droids) and can’t be discussed under an “influencer” thread. Although selfish mother was discussed under fashion and that was fine.
Selfish mother was such a twit over “shop small, buy my £60 fruit of the loom sweaters”. I’m so glad for the MN threads bursting the insta grifter bubble for me. I had a baby in 2017 and followed all the mum accounts, got suckered into one crap purchase (a £20 or £25 teething necklace) off the back of insta —my c.£4K of white company nursery/bedroom furniture was my own making— but I digress.
I hope this place lets us just vent about whatever tit MOFOD or their ilk are up to without getting all uppity. MOD jewellery line - rip off junk. She had some stories posting pics of her in various Zara outfits that don’t fit bc she has boobs and has had 4 kids. It was fine apart from the wording of “I’m launching MY jewellery line”. I mean, sure. Katie price has had numerous perfumes over the years. Bet she was down the factory.
And i HATE the influencer books. They can’t write. They are not copywriters. They don’t have any flair with words. When they’re all “proud” for writing a book (“I did it!! I can’t believe I wrote a book!”) it’s just pathetic. It’s either a text dump of all the blog posts, or it’s an extended essay on their life to date. A GCSE student could produce it, with time and motivation.
Another gripe on MN - all the huns reporting. One of my posts got deleted on FOD relating to his job. I said if I was paying for Big 4 management consultancy and that goon loped in, I’d be appalled. Nothing I wrote isn’t public information. Their address. Their previous address. The old house price achieved (c 600). The new house price paid (c850). It’s all online! It can be found in about 5 clicks. Don’t like it? Don’t go after fame!
