Personally I don't see the issue with ad being lowercase, I really can't see what difference it makes? It's the first word which is good, rather than having it hidden at the end of the caption, and it's clear in black & white imo
It was the second pic which is basically a close up of the clip that made me wonder, she doesn’t normally show her accessories that close up so it seemed odd for her. I know she tends to tag her outfits and stuff like the clip when it’s just visible in the pics of her to save questions.Tbh she tagged her earrings too, if you tag the brands it saves answering everyone’s questions about where it was from so I don’t automatically think it’s an undisclosed gift. Although I didn’t see her say she got it gifted at any point on her channel.
It is blatant masking. Does it make sense to start a sentence with a lower case then add the next word with a capital? No. influencers do it on purpose. I mean it’s your choice not to have an issue with it, but it is done intentionally by them.Personally I don't see the issue with ad being lowercase, I really can't see what difference it makes?

This worries me, too. Kinda OT but having worked in academia I know tonnes of people who have gotten to PhD level, so mid/late 20s typically, and have never had a job. I worked in shops and stuff since I was 15 (considered late to have your first p/t job at the time) and I have noticed that in recent years I don't see as many teens in jobs like that anymore. I really feel for young people, especially at the moment, when every job advert for an entry level position wants 3 years of experience or is an apprenticeship for working as a bloody receptionist or shop assistant (slight hyperbole, but only just).it would be a shame for someone like Grace to find herself in her late 20s with little irl work experience.

Grace has volunteered at Chloe's school though and she does a lot for the church, so at least she has some work experience.
Yeah, sorry just watching her Q&A now and she mentions that. I also recall her having worked in a bakery at one point or something.She used to work in BHS
Thats a good question tbhI think her wee bit explaining why there wasn't a vlog for chloe moving out also shows she is more mature than we give her credit for on here. I am abit gutted she didn't answer my question though, I asked if her or anyone in her family accidentally drops an F bomb as they are all so well spoken & I just can't imagine them swearing
Because she's still a person who is on the internet and makes mistakes. I think it's 100% fair to call her out when she does something wrong or question her decisions. Some people think Zoella is 100% genuine/a gem.I genuinely cannot see why anyone would want to criticise Grace. She’s without a doubt one of the most genuine you tuber’s out there. She’s humble, natural and so endearing.
Watching her latest video made me almost tear up when she felt the need to explain the Chloe / Jessie situation.
There are not many gems in this world but Grace sure is one of them.
Yeah I totally agree, all of the things people complain about are actually things that I find endearing and make me feel protective over her. You and I are a similar age and my life is very different to both yours and Grace's but tbh, I'd have loved to get to her age and not have been forced to 'grow up'. I don't resent it of her, it's actually nice to see someone that age who is still so innocent. And I agree, she's a very sensitive soul and I just worry that what some folk think is 'fair' and 'valid' criticism would be enough to really upset her.I’m not much older than Grace myself (I’m 27) but our upbringing couldn’t be further apart and as some have mentioned at time I do get a little envious of her close family. I have five siblings all half except for one and we all raised each other with not much help from our ‘parents’ and I felt lost as a kid hence why my life turned out the way it did.
That being said as the mother of an 11 year old girl and a 7 month old girl I would be so so proud of my daughter if they were like Grace at her age The world is a scary place and it’s only getting harder for generations (I lay awake at night wondering what the hell my youngest is going to go through) so it is no wonder her parents have mollycoddled her slightly, I’d do anything to have my girls with me until they are that age and I really hope they stay. I do agree that she is a little immature at times but she is pretty much harmless! I kinda feel very motherly and protective over her because I feel like she might not be cut out to be an ‘influencer’ and receive all the hate she will inevitably get (that comes with having a big following) she’s a very sensitive soul and I hope she doesn’t let people’s observations change her personality as that’s why we all liked her in the first place!
yep I completely agree. She has broken lockdown rules and I’m not defending her for it. She’s an adult and she should take responsibility for her actions whether she’s sensitive or not I get that.I think once you put your life out there you have to accept that not everybody will agree with what ever you do. Its strange as I like Grace but I can't stand how protective some people feel for her on here. Its a gossip site for youtubers and influencers so people will make comments about things she chooses to put online. Nobody is perfect so she will make mistakes in her life but that also means people can pass judgement on it. Like someone above said people like Zoella and Mrs Hinch etc also have those that believe they can do no wrong it doesn't mean those that complain about them are wrong
yeah I agree, I (assume!) my friends/family like me, but they of course criticise me at times if I do soemthing wrong, blind approval is not natural imo. The fact that she is so affected by any negative criticism (which I imagine must be little as she is generally very unproblematic) for me is weird.... usually anyone at her age has had negative criticism at work/uni etc and can deal with it. Of course no one likes it but she seems to take it too personallyyep I completely agree. She has broken lockdown rules and I’m not defending her for it. She’s an adult and she should take responsibility for her actions whether she’s sensitive or not I get that.
My point was..I don’t think she is the right sort of person to be an ‘influencer’. She’s very childlike in some ways as other people have pointed out but I don’t believe that to be a bad thing. It is natural for people to comment on you if you’re a social media figure sometimes they’re good comments, sometimes their constructive criticism and other times it is just trolling (death threats etc which I doubt is relevant in Graces case but some people do get them). I personally think Grace is likely to take those comments more to heart than some others would since she doesn’t have to much life experience outside her family home, once again that’s what you get when you put your life out there it’s just an observation of her personality.
