When I watch YouTube I just want a bit of light entertainment, maybe pick up a few tips/ideas along the way, and with the mummy bloggers feel like there’s other normal mums out there going through the same struggles etc. Not watch someone trying to sell me stuff I don’t need, that she doesn’t use herself and may not even know about if she wasn’t getting paid for it. If that’s not bad enough she isn’t upfront about it, she hides it under the idea of ‘I just want to show you this product’, ‘it’s made a huge difference to my life’ there’s no pressure when in reality she has manipulated the viewers, all behind her fake smiling mask. It became clear to me what they were all about when they were going away every weekend doing activities like centre pacs, lunches out, this and that expensive holiday, the endless clothes hauls YouTubers seem to do, got found out she had a cleaner, the ‘gifted’ products. I remember she advertised a washing machine with a quiet spin cycle so ‘if your kids were doing homework at the table’ it wouldn’t disturb them, but her machine was in a separate utility room
