What possible justification can she have for that? Oh, right, rules are too much for her.Oh good, she put the hideous bee contraption on her "corporate credit card"
Thank you for taking one for all of us because I refuse to google that monstrosity and have it popping up in my luxury searches going forward. $2200 USD on TheRealReal when she could buy a brand new mini or small Horsebit or Jackie for about $3000.
That's really crappy. I don't understand justifying someone not delivering what they'd promised to deliver? I suppose she must be one of the Joel Osteen wealth religious people. Jeez. I'm stunned and yet kind of not at this.Just found this thread, and thought I would share a story. I used to watch her stuff and found it quite good, especially when discussing DVC and all the rules, exceptions, and intricacies. She was excellent in explaining and educating. Enough so that I joined her Patreon. About a year or so ago (not sure about the timeline), she basically doxed one of her Patrons because they left and told her why, which I am sure they thought was a confidential response.
When you leave a Patreon account, the app will ask for feedback and why. This person said it was because they did not receive the perks or benefits they were promised, which is understandable. She made a post to Patreon saying all of this and claiming that it wasn't sustainable for her to actually send out the promised things and blah blah blah. It was incredibly tacky and of course, her stans jumped in and said that person was a cry baby and good riddance, and all sorts of mean things...just because they didn't get what they paid for. Jen went from self-defense to attack mode.
And the tit of it was that no one needed to know. No one would have known what an anonymous person said in privacy, except for Jen blabbing it. It just really seemed like a hatchet job designed for her ego. I didn't like it and left soon after. I did not give a reason other than financial, which seemed innocent enough.
I always felt bad that I didn't speak up on the "exit" questions and say what I really thought, but I'm not sure that Patreon does any type of stats or analytics on the responses.
That is social media in a nutshell, just change what the specific items are.Begging for money in between taking fancy trips and buying expensive bags and mid life crisis sports cars. The nerve!
These are my thoughts as well. She wasn't exactly frugal or poor, but it was more about quality products that would last but also not completely break the bank. I found value in the videos because they were informative, but now it is all ego and just watching her fawn over herself and bragging about spending a lot of money.When I started watching her, she came across as a down to earth suburban housewife with advice on DVC and packing for trips. But now she is all about frequent vacations and equally frequent shallow luxury purchases. That’s not how she used to present herself at all. Her travel vlogs don’t even have value as reviews or overviews of interesting places where she goes, they’re just an excuse to show her living her best life in Greece or DCL. She went to Pompei and only showed 30 seconds of it. Dave Kay actually does a better job showing the sights than she does.
I don’t understand why they have so much money now, did Scotty get a raise? She can’t make that much from youtube and her “consulting”. Why you’d pay someone with less than 40k subs (and she just crossed this milestone) to mentor you doesn’t make sense.
I have been watching her for a couple of years and thought the same.. Regular mom of almost adult boys (I could relate), but now she is over the top with her travels and spending.When I started watching her, she came across as a down to earth suburban housewife with advice on DVC and packing for trips.

Because that's less of a showy brag.Why they wouldn't have paid down on their home is weird, but to each their own.
I had to bail for this reason. Wasn't watching for the Greece Era. I'm good to not spend my time watching people ask for patrons & go on a 2 week pleasure cruise.When I started watching her, she came across as a down to earth suburban housewife with advice on DVC and packing for trips.

How very Christian of her to be so catty and two faced to a customer! I think that’s the big grift with Patreon. All these vloggers promise all this tit if you pay them and then don’t deliver. I remember reading some drama about the Lodge Guys taking advantage of some older woman was more vulnerable mentally who was paying top tier beyond her means. She tried to cancel or lower her tier and they pressured her to stay then the adult son or daughter found out, tried to help and I think there were some veiled threats or nasty comments made. It really rubs me the wrong way and come off as shady multi level marketing type crap.Just found this thread, and thought I would share a story.

WOW! Patreon is such a scam most of the time. Unfortunately, Patreon does not care if there are issues with follow through or lack of services offered at the different tiers. As long as they get the money, they are happy.Just found this thread, and thought I would share a story.

this is so sneaky of her. How did she even find out what feedback they’d left? I’ve done a few of those “exit surveys” on Patreon and they always say they’ll keep it confidential!Just found this thread, and thought I would share a story.

Who knows, maybe the disappointed person sent her a message directly. Either way, just as poor taste as her bag.this is so sneaky of her. How did she even find out what feedback they’d left? I’ve done a few of those “exit surveys” on Patreon and they always say they’ll keep it confidential!
They can definitely see them. Before Pete imploded over at The Dis Unplugged they had a healthy Patreon following where they had an after show every week. Craig (the show’s producer) would often mention looking at the reasons people left and the comments to get context on how they could improve.this is so sneaky of her.
