Am I the only one who finds it difficult to take money videos seriously from 'influencers' ??? posting one picture of a bracelet on your wrist earns you more than I make in 6 months. Thanks for your advice though
I felt sick watching that video. One month she earned double...oh wow. And now she's hoping to buy a house in the coming months. Amazing.
I sound bitter I know, but I work myself to the bone. It doesn't come down to having priorities with spending because trust me mine are in the right place. I just get so peeved especially since she posted about 'not feeling it' and being in an awakening phase so her content is stagnant and coming when she gets inspired again.
I had similar feelings, I work part time ATM because of Covid so things are tight but even when I had an office job and made decent but not great money (I think I made average for my area but also I live in one of the most expensive cities in UK, after London), I still could barely put any money aside. Now, I come from a modest background so I can make do with very little money. I also live with my partner who still has a good job but have single friends who are struggling a bit - it's so much easier to pay your bills if they're split between two people! But the video really put me off Lucy. I have only been a subscriber for 8-9 months but I am not sure if I want to stay subscribed.
I also remembered the video she made last year, about feeling left behind seeing how other influencers are buying homes and doing them up, and she was still house sharing with her friend and it really made me shake with rage. You're in your twenties, hun, you have all the time in the world to save up money and buy. And if comparing yourself to those other influencers is making you feel bad about yourself, maybe you should purge who you're following.
Rant over. Interested to see what others here think.

It's really not so long ago that Lucy was complaining about the fear of living pay check to pay check. She is the last person I would go to for money advice.

Also influencers get an insane amount for free. The stuff she advertises for you to spend your hard earned money on therefore reducing your saving capabilities allows her to earn, save and increase her own saving capabilities.

The whole thing stinks a bit

@HaveSomeMilk That's the thing with influencers - their outgoings are so low, they can easily save a tonne of money. Imagine having clothes and cosmetics sent for free, sometimes also food and interior bits and bobs. Hasn't she recently also got gifted a sofa? A freaking sofa.
Fair enough they still need to pay rent, bills, eating out. But by not having to fork out on the non-essential items such as fancy clothes, make-up, skincare, it's so easy to save money.

I loved the series she did years ago critiquing women's magazines. She used to do intelligent, feminist commentary and then somehow turned into the most vapid influencer imaginable. Which is even more of a pity when she clearly does have a brain and interests outside of cosmetics.

She sounded quite well informed in that finance video but sadly the concept of the video was just a bad idea. The advice was unrealistic for most people.

idk how she can make such a good living off youtube, I've watched her on and off for a few years and it seems her subscriber count and views have always remained stagnant - I've not seen any growth in her channel at all. But then again, influencers get paid a disgusting amount of money for the work they do. It's a little depressing when we have to save up to treat ourselves to some clothing or a sofa, and they get it for free (and paid to advertise it on top of the freebie!).

A little something else I don't like is that they can right off equipment and vacations as part of their job so can claim back the tax. Very rarely are they paying anywhere near of what we do day to day .

Hope it's ok to post this but can anyone recommend any similar vloggers?

I used to watch the likes of Lucy and Hannah years back and want to get back into UK vloggers in their mid/late 20s but can't really find anyone with content I'm interested in and that posts regularlyish šŸ¤”

What does Jack do for work? Is he younger than her?
Works in advertising + yes a couple of year's younger i think

Oh wow did anyone catch the Instagram stories about the recent developments in the Israel Palestine conflict?

she shared an info graphic from the page Diet Prada and only shared some of the slides but she got quite a few people saying they were disappointed that she had shared them as the whole diet prada slides was very brief, there were a hefty number of inaccuracies and a lot of what they mentioned lacked context or thorough research. Lucy had people telling her to do some more research and now sheā€™s getting huffy on her stories about having been to SOAS and having done quite a big portion of her degree on the Middle East so actually she knows more than the average person....

And now weā€™re all getting an insta history lesson just to show that she did actually do her readings way back then.

idk Iā€™m not interested in quizzing her knowledge of the Middle East but surely if you know ā€œmore than the average person doesā€ youā€™d understand that the issue is far too complex for an Instagram infographic anyway and not even bother sharing it?

she tries to make out that sheā€™s not ignorant about a lot but then if youā€™re so well informed why do tit like that?

I havenā€™t been the biggest fan of Lucyā€™s content of late but I actually thought that she did really well in explaining why she deleted the infographic and her explanation of the historical roots/the role of the British was accessible and easy to understand. Maybe she shouldnā€™t have shared the infographic in the first place but she admitted that and explained her reasoning behind it so not sure what else you want her to do?

for reference, I work in current affairs with a specialism in Middle Eastern politics, Iā€™ve reported from the West Bank numerous times and lived in the region for years. I havenā€™t seen the historical roots of the conflict explained/shared in such a clear way on insta during this time.

I always see comments on her vids/GG & here that are like what a waste of your degree. why donā€™t you make interesting content & now sheā€™s doing it. surely in the grand scheme of things itā€™s much more important that people with a platform and knowledge of the conflict raise awareness, especially since there are so many people who are surely overwhelmed by all the info circulating on insta right now who might not know much about this conflict and how the Balfour Declaration heavily impacted and continues to impact the humanitarian/political situation in the region. like, not the biggest fan of Lucy but if an influencer is down to discuss the hard topics and has studied it on an academic level, then power to them IMO.

i think if she had any sense and actually thought about all she had learnt during her degree sheā€™d have known not to share the info graphic. I think that was a really stupid idea for someone that ā€œknows more than the average personā€ if you just scrolled through all the pages of it.

But itā€™s hardly surprising as her only recent interest in anywhere remotely close to that area was a holiday in Dubai.

From what I recall people were wanting her to use her degree in her actual content which is YouTube, she does also have a blog that she rarely posts on. I donā€™t think I remember anyone saying they wanted Instagram stories where she defends her own knowledge and understanding of something because of a previous slip up. Thatā€™s strikes me as same old classic Lucy. Her YouTube videos after this will still be about the same old content.

im not so fussed about her using her degree subject matter to be honest though. But it would be nice to see her use the skills she learnt at uni to make interesting content with critical thought. She doesnā€™t really read much any more so she says and rarely speaks about her own opinions on her YouTube. Only in little bursts on Insta and rarely ever anything permanent

She posted this recently and I know it's just me being a purist but it always cracks me up when people are being referred to as "gluten-free". Like, an ingredient or meal can be gluten-free, and so can be a diet, but a person would be "gluten intolerant" or "on a gluten-free diet"/"following a gluten-free diet"/"avoiding gluten"

She hasnā€™t done it for a while, but does anyone else get so frustrated when she goes off about the gentrification of London, when she is the most stereotypical gentrifier?
Like, she lives in East and it seems all of her friends are home counties, white, middle class, oat milk coffee drinking hipsters?
Itā€™s like babe, you are a big part of this. You canā€™t talk about communities being destroyed when youā€™re the one pushing them out.

ughhh always get frustrated by her. She's not doing up her bedroom herself because she's waiting on a sponsor to come through and confirm they'll work with her. I can't stand how influencers live!
She always talks about self development and discovering her authentic self but all she really does is discover an aesthetic she admires.

She seriously cracked me up yesterday.
I am sure no-one who has conservative preferences or no older people could tell what was going on. Just Lucy and young lefties. Does she really think she's a. so much smarter than anyone else, b. the only one who felt that way about politics last year?

On a different note, remember that pompous note she posted on Stories a couple of weeks ago about going through a period of growth etc?
She elaborates about it in the vlog that came out about a week a go ("Romanticising My Life"). Effectively, she speaks about being passive in life, other people book places and organise things and she just turns up. Other people choose what music is being played. Something else trivial.
Basically the point is, she's hoping to do things more mindfully and intentionally.
Is this seriously what's on her mind in terms of growth when we're living through a global pandemic, in times of shocking social injustice, racism and wars? I do realise she is only 26 but being nearly a decade older myself, I can't take such crap seriously.
I somehow managed to finish watching the video but unsubscribed afterwards.
Silly, silly girl.


Actually, wait, that's not all of it.
I have been really hating how a lot of influencers have been going out loads-loads! We all have been through the lockdown and I realise that people react to things differently, some people still feel anxious about going for a walk with a friend or getting a takeaway coffee, others are travelling, having meals in restaurants and beauty treatments. Personally I am somewhere in the middle.
But maybe because of my own covid-related anxieties, it really gets on my nerves seeing influencers going out every other day/night, often with a different group of pals each time. It's not just Lucy and it's a disaster going to happen. It's like they're desperately are trying to make up for the lost time. I haven't seen my family for 15 months now since they live in Europe and I would just love it for us not to have another lockdown/restrictions so I can go and see my fam this summer. It would also be my only holiday this year so I really hope it goes ahead šŸ’”

She bought a fendi bag knowing she didn't like overly branded designer items and was surprised she never wore it / it was a waste of money...

She is 26/7? sorry Lucy hun but, you are no longer part of the 16 - 24 young demographic.

If she is that bothered by politics then get involved - she has the time.

So she got gifted this lovely expensive sofa and she just puts her beer and olives on the armrest, just straight on, with no plate, tray, nothing? This is how little respect you have for things if you didn't pay for them yourself. What if she knocks one or both things accidentally and they ruin the sofa?
