I just finished watching J's Paris vlog, I actually liked it. I got the feeling Jack was cool with being filmed but wasn't going to turn into a YouTube vlogger all of a sudden, so I didn't think it was odd J was taking the lead and talking to camera. Was v jel reverie let her borrow some outfits to wear for the vlog and yeah she does take posery shots of herself flouncing around the city but jaysus I'd love to be feeling myself like she is too. At the end of the day people watch vlogs for escapism... that was a pure escapism vlog.
What I will say is that it really seems J is going the traditional Influencer route at this point. The shouting out of SoSu's products on that Stellar glow up podcast made me vom. I think that to make a career out of social media in Ireland you have to fold, kiss arse and do what everyone else is doing to get those mainstream sponsors or PR. The circle is too small.
It was weird in her vlog after the VIP style awards when she said she knew the reason she got invited was because she was with Ev but she would like to be invited of her own accord and wear an outfit that impresses everyone..... or 'should I be aiming to be acknowledged by award shows like this' like why
the Irish influencer scene is the most fake and boring of them all and what does a VIP style award even mean. If I was her I'd be focusing on getting followers from overseas and not getting caught up in the Irish influencer bubble. She's says she's self aware about not wanting to look for that validation in that circle but like... I think she does care more than she lets on. You could see she was clearly conflicted about it.
