Really sad to see all these laptops being given to influencers who literally use them once and shove them away in a drawer when there are SO MANY students in this country who need them and don’t have access to them
She shouldn't have accepted this one so soon after receiving the other one. Just makes her look greedy. She doesn't have to accept every ad.Really sad to see all these laptops being given to influencers who literally use them once and shove them away in a drawer when there are SO MANY students in this country who need them and don’t have access to them
I think maybe COVID influenced that decision? Online tutoring on a smaller scale was probably just convenient when she wanted to keep working during her gap year/ time traveling, and since she is a study tuber, she could just skip going through an agency. And then COVID increased the demand, with more (financially privileged) students looking for online tutoring, and more young people/ recent graduates looking for jobs they can do online as opposed to helping out in an after school program or a face to face tutoring business. This could be the type of business (like online co-working spaces, yoga classes, therapy etc) that will still exis after the pandemic but might shrink a little bit because the demand isn't going to be the same.Honestly Holly being CEO or whatever of a tutoring business is still so weird to me. Like I just don't get the impression from her videos that she enjoys it, it seems like just one more chore/todo list item for her? Plus she doesn't seem really interested in either business administration or education/teaching.. and she's not even handling the business herself really, seeing how her mom constantly has to help her/watch over what Holly does. (Then again maybe I'm just salty cause I've been tutoring for years but I've never founded a business lmao)
I’d hazard a guess that a lot of them don’t know (or rather, don’t connect the dots to understand) that there are lots of people out there who can’t afford these things. The study tubers might be young and educated but most of them come across as incredibly sheltered and naive. I genuinely don’t think it occurs to most of them that just because money/a product is offered, it doesn’t mean that you have to take it - just look at the recent ads some of them did for Holocaust Memorial Day. It’s tasteless and tacky as hell to take money for something like that but Ruby and Jack did it, and it doesn’t seem to have occurred to either of them that they can say they support or care about something without being sponsored.This doesn't just apply to Holly but YouTubers in general - how can they live with themselves taking all this gifted tit from companies knowing there are so many people who cannot afford these things, need it way more and would actually use it, while they let it collect dust in a corner? Fair enough if you have an Apple device and don't plan on switching, but then contact the company and ask whether you can donate it/do a giveaway/etc or send it back? I don't expect much from brands and capitalists but young educated people (like studytubers) should know better.
I hope the company sees this, how the hell was she paid to advertise something she is literally saying isn't good?!View attachment 501774
So this is what happened to the surface tablet she was gifted. Being put to good use I see.
this is disgusting!!! clearly shows she is ignorant about tech priviledge and rubbing it in the face of her followers (lots of which come from countries where that is a real issue, just looking at her latest video, India and Turkmenistan popped up quite a lot)View attachment 501774

Has anyone sent this to Microsoft because this is a horrendous way to advertise a product for them.View attachment 501774
