After peeking at a few other threads of other influencers in here, I have come to only one conclusion, one that may be obvious to you all but I want to say it regardless.
If you are an influencer that has the title of "fashion" or "Lifestyle" you have absolutely no place in society, no place on god's green earth to lecture anyone on anything ever, and you HAVE to take the criticism or at least be able to, because you in reality provide absolutely no value to people's lives.
Loads of influencers have threads on here of people complaining about their ethics, morals and just general sanity - much as we do on Mumbles.
I think it's a stain on our society that sycophants put them on such a high pedestal, they are egotistical snowflakes with about as much grace as my little toe. I hate how "Influencers" are actually given a platform at all,.. what has Josie, Lydia, ITF or anyone proven to me that they can have an audience to which they can in turn.. Influence. When they get given free food in a pandemic (Lydia) or live in a £2M house to show off.
They're all a bunch of pansies, with dodgy tactics to extort the ignorant masses, and I for one am over it.
If I want t follow fashion "influencers" I would rather follow editors of magazines that actually have a reputable voice and have obviously worked hard to achieve that position.
Interiors/Lifestyle? I'll follow professional designers.
But imagine for a second everyone did that.. what would they all be contributing absolutely nothing, NOTHING!
