If there’s a bandwagon most of them will jump on it. It seems to be the in thing amongst a significant number of D-list influencers to have/had anxiety.
Mental health, pro-choice and body positivity all seem to be the current ‘buzz words’. All topics that need as much promotion and discussion as they can get but I do doubt how genuine a lot of grammers are and think they’re just going it for the hashtag in order to gain more followers.

Ah go on, we can turn it into a game.
"My first sounds like smother, but without the 's'
My second is like off but with one less 'f'
My third is a child that isn't a son"
etc. etc.
Not sure. Probably would get some backlash (and bitchy DMs) if the original poster advertised the imposter on their grid.
Mental Health Awareness Week - they're all bandwagoning that one, this year the theme is body image. It'll all die down on Monday and the latest fad will take over.

I liked the rug but now it’s so ubiquitous I would never get it. It’s that age old hipster thing of being ‘individual’ but somehow ending up looking all the same...Oh I loathe that rug!
I just don’t get it. Do they all actually like it? Or is it the case of you can’t be an ‘Influencer’ unless you actually have that rug.
‘Be kind print’ Are they trying to convince them self of that I wonder?

On the other hand it’s very entertaining trying to find where’s its copied from
It is sad. I do actually have a small bit of sympathy for them.Ive seen this happen! I used to follow an account that I noticed after a while had completely copied another page I followed down the every detail it was actually creepy how much her pictures looked alike, then she started buying followers obviously to make her account bigger so she looked like the original page or something, must have very lonely lives to have the time to be such stalkers, should just get some originality!!

There are about 10 different examples I have, from 2 or 3 different influencers. Some are not ads.
There was one a while ago that a travel 'influencer' called dreaming_outloud posted on her story. I think it had the same caption and filter/editing style of blue/orange tones, although the picture was different. She also had a jacket that dreaming_outloud owned. It started with her just complaining about copycat accounts in general and people not being 'original' or 'themselves'.
Anyway rather than contact the girl and say hey can you change it/this looks similar to one of mine, she posted a screenshot from the girl's Instagram (didn't block out her name) on her story calling her out, and a ton of her followers went to attack her to the point she ended up making a new account. It wasn't even an original caption that she came up with tbh - pretty sure it was a quote someone else had said.

How do you know it’s the same person doing both?
And ditto - how ARE you finding these?!?

Either they’ve changed the caption or someone’s pinched the photo

I feel uncomfortable doing that at the mo. Also I don’t want them to know someone knows as it’s my evening entertainment to see where it’s been copied from. Like a Where’s Wally on instaDon't be tight, name and shame
Is this actually a thing though? I know it’s not ‘right’ but could there be any comeback?
I don't think it was via a hashtag. I wish I could find the post calling her out (it wasn't the girl you talked about in the original post, just someone who was clearly inspired by this influencer but didn't seem to mean any harm and only looked about 17) but its not saved in her Instagram stories.
