Thanks for clearing that up, might pop down the shop and post a pic of me eating a snickers #NotGiftedIt’s an ASA requirement. It means they were given the item with no obligation or payment for mentioning it. Like you say it amounts to “I haven’t paid for this but you definitely should because it might end up as a paid campaign for me”
Following on from this, I got a text message from herSo I unfollowed my friend (the I want to be insta famous instamum) I got so fed up of her playing up to the camera, a shadow of the girl I knew. And I still couldn’t avoid the gifted nonsense, I met up with her for a Christmas drink and she was boasting about how she was gifted a personalised bag that should cost £60 for her man and she wrapped it up and gave him it for Christmas. FML it’s unavoidable
Every single word you have said! I have stopped buying from Boden, The White Company, Joules, Crew Clothing and Jo Malone.I can't wait for this over-saturated influencer game to end. Brands are ruining their reputations. They don't know who they are working with - they get agencies to do it for them. Giving away stuff for free is completely devaluing brands. I don't think I will ever buy from Joules or The White company again. #ads are saturating Instagram It's supposed be a fun lighthearted app. Kids are being used "stand over there for Mummy in your matching shirts.....and....smile, quick quick Mummy needs a photo to earn a quick buck"
What the f**k are we inspiring our kids to be. No wonder there is a lack of doctors, midwives.
I hate that my girls are growing up in this world.
What's next? I can't begin to imagine. I think it's sad, Don't u? I'm scared for their future.
I would LOVE every advert that the floggers post to declare bore much they have received. That should open a can of worms! All the “instachums” will start turning on each otherI'd love to see an instagram page that names and shames every brand that gifts these gobshites, what they are gifted and how much it would cost an ordinary person.
That might open a few eyes.
Louis Theroux would be perfect for thisI completely, 100% agree with you!!!
I wish there was a documentary on this. It's such an odd and disgusting part of human behaviour all this social media influencer stuff. All posed and contrived and rubbing it in the faces of hard-working people who have REAL jobs!
I think as with everything it will stop being cool and kids will turn their backs on it. Kids always rebel against mainstream culture, so the most productive thing we can do is offer them a choice, show things like minimalism, intellectual pursuits, sustainable living, love of nature, real relationships, modesty, moderation, perfecting a skill, less is more, as long as it’s packaged in an appealing aesthetic, and people their age and cool adults are doing it, it has a chance to counteract this consumerist nightmare.I can't wait for this over-saturated influencer game to end.

Probably was that muppet INPOBets on who does the first fitness wear post
More bleeting about this forum from Insta mums. Apparently they work hard for their profiles and content (takes photo, adds filter, adds hashtags, press send) must be totally exhausting. Thoughts and prayers sent
Omg I love this - agree with everything you said! I really wish they could not delete comments (that would be very interesting). As it stands these narcissists only receive positive comments from their fellow narcissists and sucker uppers! They have to read Tattle to hear the truth, which they don’t like and regularly call people on here Trolls or pond scum! I would love it if there was a feature which meant everytime they tagged an #ad or a swipe up, you know instantly how much they are profiting from it. If this was made transparent, I think the sheep would think twice about helping them to make their money.I’m really sorry but I just need to rant!! I am so bloody fed up of all the fake and contrived instagrammers out there. Why the crap would I want to see pretentious, posed shots of people eating out for free and being gifted no end of stuff when they can bloody well afford it themselves. Lauding it up over people who can’t afford to live the lifestyle that these people get for free by lying and posing their way through life?
I have a friend who has become an instagrammer. Having close to 10k followers now and I’m so sick of the fact that I can see them posting about ten times in a day when I wait about a week for a reply to a personal text. Our friendship is now non existent and I wonder if they realise they are losing real friendships to ‘the gram’.
I’m also annoyed at the fact that people can delete negative comments which are made. Just seems to fuel self important, narcissistic people feeling entitled to love themselves that little bit more. I am absolutely fed up and think this is having such a deterimental impact on people. It’s all so fake and superficial. Drives me mad! Sorry - I said it would be a rant!! Haha!!
And then they have the cheek to criticise Instagram for changing its algorithm so there posts don’t get seem as muchOmg I love this - agree with everything you said!

which little ickle, hard-working one is complaining now?
That would be fabulous choice!!!Every single word you have said! I have stopped buying from Boden, The White Company, Joules, Crew Clothing and Jo Malone.
My list is increasing everyday. I am not going to go to work every day to fund these floggers their gifted items

I hate Insta mamas full stop. Too think I used to complain about people taking picture of food for Insta, how I long for those days now.Sick and tired of all these "aesthetic mamas" instagram with their homemade baby food, wood toys, hemp baby slings, etc. There's nothing wrong with the lifestyle, but I hate all the super posed, over edited photos with the condescending earth mama captions.
This is bloody brilliantly idea !!!I would actual pay a monthly premium to Instagram to block anything with #ad or #gifted in it
They are mostly narcissists or perfectionists that require constant validation to make them feel happy, but often, that fulfilment is short-lived, and so the cycle continues. Frankly, I think it is exhausting, and I’d much rather live my life naturally, unstaged and privately. I’m much healthier and happier for it. Yes, it sickens me how much they consume and show off, but like you said, behind it all, they’re probs struggling with their own poor self worth and ill mental health.Behind every perfectly put together picture is a mental health struggle.....
They have nothing better to do with their time
Thats the reality
