Whenever she shares an old list, the graphic says ‘on from the archives’ and it annoys me SO MUCH every time. I really want to message her and tell her it’s ONE, but she’ll lose her tit and block me I’m sure!
It’s so lazy thatSame story over and over. She exploits people. It’s bad enough that she doesn’t pay her contributors but to just copy and paste the text without proof reading, checking the formatting or making ANY effort whatsoever is so insulting. Is that how she got Insta famous?
Yes I agree. My best friend and my partner are both dyslexic and both of them will ask me to proof read their work (BF is a mature student, partner gets me to proof read his important work emails) because they know their spelling and grammar will be all over the place and they care about making the right impression. There’s no excuse for being sloppy.People with dyslexia have a tendency to double and triple check their work. I hate how people who are just bad spellers use a legitimate difficulty as an excuse for being sloppy.
I had a list published by her about a year ago... she didn’t even reply to me! She’d put a post up asking for lists on a topic that is very personal to me, I was interested in telling my story so I emailed her a draft list with a covering email, she didn’t reply but the next thing I knew my list was published! No warning, no editing or discussion with me! My list mentioned a family member and I hadn’t even spoken to them to ask their permission for the list to go public and CT had published it! She had literally just copied and pasted it from my original email, no formatting, no spell check etc.. it was only a first draft!! But worse than that she didn’t even reply to me or communicate with me in any way to say thank you etc. It was like.. she got what she needed, tick, onto the next!!I also had a list published. The formatting I used did not translate to her page and it looked dreadful (and made me look like I didn’t care). She also managed to mis-refer to an important person in the intro which changed the whole premise of what I had written

So wrong, so unprofessional, so bloody rude and so un-feminist and exploitative of predominantly women's experiences and stories! So sorry for everyone who has been treated like this. How has she managed to make this her full time, sole breadwinner job?I had a list published by her about a year ago... she didn’t even reply to me!

I think her days are numbered. The tide is turning. Overexposing your kids, leaving a huge Internet footprint of personal information on them and the family, exploiting other women to buy tat and getting people to share personal stories for your own financial gain is not cool. Also ditching mod and fake friendships? That woman helped her birth her kid? Was it all for the squares? The instahuns days are limited.So wrong, so unprofessional, so bloody rude and so un-feminist and exploitative of predominantly women's experiences and stories!

I have no words. Imagine being so lazy and unprofessional you think it’s OK to do that.I had a list published by her about a year ago... she didn’t even reply to me!

Agreed, I would love to see all of their official diagnosis. Like OCD and anxiety, they belittle real conditions.People with dyslexia have a tendency to double and triple check their work. I hate how people who are just bad spellers use a legitimate difficulty as an excuse for being sloppy.
I'm so angry for you! I do some writing professionally and no editor would ever, ever treat a writer like that. I'm so sorry that happened. I wish all of you that were treated badly could speak out/ publically retract your articles and submit them elsewhere. But I understand why you'd feel you can't.I had a list published by her about a year ago... she didn’t even reply to me!

Exactly the same for my list, hence ending up with awful formatting. And then no warning about it or when it would be published.

That’s disgusting. The arrogance of her. To think she can treat people like that and that she wouldn’t get found out.I had a list published by her about a year ago... she didn’t even reply to me!

Simply appalling! How rude and disrespectfulExactly the same for my list, hence ending up with awful formatting. And then no warning about it or when it would be published. Made me sad
Yes! Love this idea!Everyone who sent her a list and had it published on her blog / insta account without any further discussion or fee agreement should send her an invoice.
