Unfortunately, whenever people say they’re sick of influencers being gifted stuff they’re branded as jealous haters who don’t understand marketing. I understand marketing very well. I get the whole thing of them being cheap tools to influence the masses, even without people being aware. However, people like grace are not good marketers. Since I’ve been aware of her, she has never given a proper review of any product she has received. She has never test driven anything, gone in depth about the wear, the effects, cost, where to get it, pros and cons, anything useful really. She comes across as very, very greedy and ungrateful. She claims she’s a brand in herself but what kind of brand is she? She spreads herself so thin across any category she can think of just to get more stuff. The people with sense watch her grab everything and show no appreciation and do a pisspoor job of showing the products. Most of the time she doesn’t show anything and what she does show she just says oh it’s fab, I’m obsessed and that’s it. Yes, we are jealous of all the things she gets because most of us scrimp and save or just lust after these things. Yes, we dislike her because of the type of person we see she is and she consistently shows. Is it because we don’t understand why she gets sent these things? For marketing, no. I don’t understand why she gets sent things, particularly expensive pieces like furniture or electronics, when she doesn’t do anything with them to show them off. Are there really that many brain dead plebs that click on her links and use her codes just to have what she has, purely because it’s grace? There must be. So many people on forums have discussed how poor of a performer she is, and for years. This all falls on deaf ears unfortunately. It’s soul destroying watching, or even knowing that she gets so much for so little work and sits on her many couches with her big smug head patting herself on the back. I’ve no problem with influencers getting PR drops once they do it justice and give proper information. I do have a problem when a grown woman, who can’t even dress herself or clean her cat’s litter tray, shows such little interest in the job which gives her so much. The lack of appreciation and greed is deafening
