In response to trying to shut tattle down. vlogs are the problem, these influencers could just do sit down videos in one room of their house to show us what products companies have sent to bribe them into giving glowing reviews. They could be honest with how they’ve come into their possession & if it’s worthy of us spending our money on. The problem is when you’re being bribed with cash or vouchers everything is the best. Does it matter if it’s free or a voucher? If I like something I’ll buy it regardless of how they got it. I actually enjoy a show and try on more as they are more informative & I enjoy the styling aspect of them. I don’t need to see her gardening in a dress or eating dinner in it to decide if I like it. However, I guess it’s the vlogs that pull in the viewers & keep them watching & they need the viewers to sell to. By filming vlogs and their day to day life they open their doors & invite us into their personal life, homes and relationships. We go on a journey with them to get married, move homes & have families. With vlogs they show us more of their personalities & with everyone there is good & bad sides, nobody is perfect but by doing so they also expose the parts of their life they don’t want us to see. This is why since she’s been vlogging everyday this thread is gaining so many new readers. If they were so good at selling they wouldn’t need to do vlogs & give away their privacy in exchange for money & freebies. The only reason you would so carelessly give away your address & show the contents & layout of your home is to gain interest, viewing figures & followers. It’s human nature for people to be interested in how people live their lives. These young people live so far from reality with million pound houses, sports cars, luxury goods & they don’t achieve it or pay for it in the standard way that people are used to seeing. People like to escape their own reality which is why reality tv programs are so entertaining but so damaging to the participants, because they make celebrities out of untalented people who do not deserve fame & glamourise materialism. The majority of ladies their age don’t live these extravagant, wealthy lifestyles, there’s literally millions of them all over Instagram competing & trampling all over each other trying to gain the same success because they see it as an achievable route to fame, fortune and a life time supply of freebies but it’s not free it comes at a price to your privacy & mental well-being. You see if with Z list celebrities, they have to keep selling their private lives to magazines/tabloids to keep the cash rolling in to fund the lifestyles they’re accustomed to. I don’t see vlogs much different to reality programs on tv. They film their personal life & edit it how they want to present it. They dress up for filming their content in clothes they’re paid to wear, their homes are just a TV set filled with stuff they’re paid to show. The snippets of their personal life are edited & used to pull you in & gain trust and popularity with the intention to sell, sell, sell to their viewers. They deceive their viewers into thinking that this is reality. Watchers are anticipating what the next big reveal is like a soap opera. They use clock bait to grab your attention & hook you in. Then they don’t like it when people treat them like soap opera characters. They become almost a character of themselves that they’ve created. These influencers are like modern day celebrities, there’s not really any difference to Katie price selling her wedding & life to OK magazine than YouTubers selling their wedding & life for subscribers as both generate money. With public people there’s always going to be an interest. You can’t shut every website down. People used to buy gossip magazines but now it’s mainly online & anyone can start a conversation. There’s always going to be a tweet, comment or a review or some place on the internet for people with similar views to talk and gossip about things that they have a mutual interest in. It’s not up to them if their comment section is a positive place, it’s feedback from their viewers. Comment sections are for us to use not them & we should be able to use it as we like or we’ll end up places like this. It’s fine to delete aggressive or bullying ones or ones that give away your location but you can’t delete ones that disagree with your actions or expose your deceitfulness to fit your narrative.
