We had one at work and it was brilliant! Honestly I’d have one if I had the money. And owned a houseI think we just need to accept tattle for what it is. It's mostly people calling out creators about their BS, but sometimes it ends up in things like infighting about (inexplicably on another thread) dogshit. I just laugh at that stuff and move on with my day.
I think Maddie's trying to get more into Cottagecore content now, but I don't think that's really suited to who she is. I'd be really interested in tending an indoor herb garden, but I don't think she'll feature it in videos unless it's an ad.
Does anyone have one of those boiling water taps? I look at the ads and I'm always terrified of someone scalding themselves.
Hi Maddie's friend/family memberI thought it was a solid video for the first 16 minutes. I loved the music and vibe of the beginning. It reminded me of Jane Austen and Fairyland Cottage. I also think the plantable calendar fits perfectly with her brand, so I don't get the criticism there. Also, some of you must be incredible gardeners to find fault with a fairly young person learning how to garden. I think she could have cut it off after around the 16 minute mark though.
It wasn't really sneaky She marked it "AD".
I came to this thread as a slightly disillusioned fan, and I know there are some people who want to discuss that, but are there posters who just just like to be nasty?
I don't understand what friends/family of influencers think is going to happen when they come to forums like this to try to put a positive spin on their friend's shitty behaviour. Do they think everyone here is going to say, "oh yeah you've got a good point. I've totally changed my opinion and won't post here anymore"?Hi Maddie's friend/family member
You see when I saw this, I genuinely thought she or Alex had bought this themselves. To the casual viewer there is absolutely no indication this is gifted. THIS is why people can't trust her and are done with her behaviour.Yet another undeclared ad. There’s no way she paid for this coffee machine out of her own pocket.
The ASA is super clear on this, and the rules have been in place for a while now.
Adding a screengrab from another influencer showing how easy it is to not deceive your followers. It’s even the same machine
Or I get the feeling it could be Maddie or Alex themselves?! Whoever it is, they're as subtle as a sledgehammerHi Maddie's friend/family member
This looks so much like an ad!! Especially since she raved about her SMEG one since they were in the cottage…Yet another undeclared ad. There’s no way she paid for this coffee machine out of her own pocket.

Perfectly said. I too have been watching since 2016 around the 1000 sub mark. Ironically this thread is made up of exclusively people who were all fans of hers. Compared to a lot of threads on here, this one is pretty mild and actually very constructive!I don't understand what friends/family of influencers think is going to happen when they come to forums like this to try to put a positive spin on their friend's shitty behaviour. Do they think everyone here is going to say, "oh yeah you've got a good point. I've totally changed my opinion and won't post here anymore"?
I've been watching Maddie's videos since she has single digit subscribers. Under 100. I've seen her channel evolve and change. All the different interests she's had and videos topics she's covered. I was watching when she was cycling every day and just got into minimalism. I watched her go to Thailand, get into zero waste, move to Cornwall, declutter over and over, and start renovating her house. I saw her attitude and positivity decline. She started doing things that aren't sustainable or vegan. I witnessed as her attitude got shitty and her behaviour even shittier as her morals eroded away every time a brand offered her money.
I fully support influencers who change, grow, learn, and acknowledge that. Maddie doesn't. She thinks she can continue to say she's a minimalist, vegan, sustainable while not following any of those princicples even loosely - or rather she thinks she can waive any accountability but saying she "doesn't use labels" when she literally built her entire YouTube career on labels!!!
I'm on this forum talking about her content because I miss when she filmed videos that were honest, open, and true to her word. It shocks me how much she's fallen away from her principles and how ignorant she's become to her privilege and the influence she has in regards to promoting excessive consumerism. She's so far removed from minimalism and sustainability now.
Like a disguise, the first few posts are an extremely sophisticated ruse to fool us 🥸I'm not sure RLL is Maddie/Maddie's friend as they have posted some derogatory stuff about Maddie. But then again, maybe it's all part of the ruse. After the Mother of Daughter's scandal I'd believe anything!
Sorry trying to catch up on what I’ve missed, did she eat the non vegan Milky Way? Or is the vegan one being advertised not vegan? Sorry just seen a lot of vegan influencers and people talking about it and just curious what the issue is, I wouldn’t eat it as have a milk protein allergy and don’t trust these new Cadbury’s and galaxy etc “vegan” productsI finally watched the vlog and good lord how awful..
“You didn’t do a very good job did you Al” in that condescending tone. What a horrible way to speak to your boyfriend who is putting up hooks while you stand by and supervise. (Not to mention the fact that he did a great job).
Also quite disgusting was the not so thinly veiled dig at Cadbury’s for not sending her the new vegan dairy milk when she saw other influencers receiving it. “Why didn’t I get it? Get me on that PR list!” I think were the words or thereabouts. With that classic ‘laughing but there’s nothing funny about this’ horrible vibe. How grabby and narcissistic. There’s zero subtlety there.
Another observation: that was a very detailed description of the taste & texture of (not vegan) Milky Way Stars for someone who in theory wouldn’t have had them for what, at least five years now? Possibly a good memory but bearing in mind her previous confessions of ‘cheating’… hmmm.
Finally: even the dog looks bloody miserable.
How ironic that my key takeaway from watching that vlog is that stuff won’t make you happy - something Madeleine’s been preaching for years.
Lord. Surely she realises other influencers will also be sharing their gifted machines, and some of them will bother to do the bare minimum and declare itYet another undeclared ad. There’s no way she paid for this coffee machine out of her own pocket.

Very well said! Agree entirely.I don't understand what friends/family of influencers think is going to happen when they come to forums like this to try to put a positive spin on their friend's shitty behaviour. Do they think everyone here is going to say, "oh yeah you've got a good point. I've totally changed my opinion and won't post here anymore"?

I see what you mean.When I started here I called someone else out for fat-shaming because in my eyes that crossed a line. That's not how tattle works tho and my comment was reported for tone policing. I accept that (although I don't necessarily like it) and now I personally don't engage with comments that I feel are nasty or mean because it's not my place to be policing others opinions here. That's the rule of the forum but it can be tricky to navigate these rules as a new member because it's not always obvious what that means even if you've read the rules.
I don’t know about this, please tell me more?Sorry trying to catch up on what I’ve missed, did she eat the non vegan Milky Way? Or is the vegan one being advertised not vegan?

*takes deep breath*Y'all are being ridiculous tbh
If, by any chance, this is coming from someone like friend/family/hardcore fan, it's not really helping! Especially since 99% of things highlighted on here are genuine concerns in regards to the brand or a completely 180 done by Maddie herself.Y'all are being ridiculous tbh
