How about she takes Roxie for a walk in stead of bumming around?"Omg being an influencer is such hard work. Literally always working, don't have time for anything. This week is so busy and hectic"
*haves breakfast in bed at 10.30 on a week day*
Right?!How about she takes Roxie for a walk in stead of bumming around?
Very well said and I think it's wonderful that you are doing this [being considerate]. It's honestly awful to open IG and see an influencer bump around and bragging about it when you are slaving away. And it's easy to say: just be self-employed or "just be your own boss" "work for it" blabla. But that's not easy and not an option for everybody. Imagine if we all were self-employed lol, the world would be a disaster. And not everybody wants it.Right?!
I don't mean to be all like "work work work you lazy bish" but my pet hate is influencers pretending their work is comparable to being employed full time. I'm self-employed but I'm so aware of the privilege that gives me with regards to flexibility and a good work/life balance that I'm always conscious to not document it too much and to never brag about it. I've been in jobs I hate that I've had to drag myself to every monday-friday and it's not fun to open Instagram and posts like hers be the first thing you see.
People like Maddie need to atleast acknowledge and seem grateful for the life their viewers have afforded them, and not post photos of themselves lazing around in bed at 10.30am and still complain about how hard their lives are.
Thank you for that. I am sorry you are a victim of bullying, I wish you strength and patience to heal.I definitely didn’t mean for it to sound like I’m blaming her, so I apologise for that. I see now how it comes across that way so thank you for the call out, I’d never want to be seen in that light as a victim of bullying myself (as I’m sure most of us are.
Obviously bullying in any context is unacceptable. I just wonder if her putting the person on blast is the most constructive way of dealing with it.To be honest, there should be more that influencers can do about people leaving horrible comments about them on their own social media. Society hasn’t got there yet, but with all the new YouTube restrictions around swearing and certain topics, perhaps they will one day make it easier to get rid of bullying off their platform. But at the moment, all you can do is block them and block the words you don’t want included in your comments, and I just question whether the power dynamic of putting your followers towards hate comments is a great idea, knowing how easy it can be to potentially dox people and put them in actual physical danger. It’s happened before, so we can’t know it wouldn’t happen again, and that was my main point (that I said very poorly).
Once again, I’m sorry for the way I said that. I’d never wish bullying on anyone or want to make someone feel they’re bringing it onto themselves.
YT does have full control over "bad" words ...Thank you for that. I am sorry you are a victim of bullying, I wish you strength and patience to heal.
You're right, it is quite sad social media doesn't have better control over bullying and horrible disparaging comments. Instagram has more options than it used to, but it's still far from enough.
I've always been pro calling out bullying comments with the username of the commenter, when most influencers don't do that, but that's because I think once you start bullying someone, you don't deserve to hide away (even though the username is already a way to hide of course). But I didn't know people had been doxxed from a bullying comment. How on earth do people even find their details? It's scary.
Thank you, it’s taken a while but I’m definitely way better with it now than I was. I know so many people go through the same though, and they aren’t as lucky to get to this point, so I feel lucky to be in my position.Thank you for that. I am sorry you are a victim of bullying, I wish you strength and patience to heal.

She's really lost the plot ehAnother hour long wardrobe declutter video just showed up on my homepage.
THANK YOU for saying this!saying she's "quite liked the last few days of being ill" because she's been able to rest is toxic as fuck! not to mention incredibly insensitive. I bet she has lots of viewers who struggle with their health and would love not to feel ill everyday!
Just wanted to send some solidarity as someone who's also quite unwell and doesn't get to leave the house that often (and if I do I need help doing it so can't be alone, or go for longThank you, really. People can be so horribly insensitive, it's really hurtful and painful to read / hear.[/SPOILER]
Yeah it's a bit like kids who become pop stars at 17 and become totally insufferable because they've never lived in the real worldThank you all for your support and thank you @boopthatnose for sharing your story and for being so vulnerable as welltruly means so much to me and it really made me feel less alone in all this, thank you
Back on current topic: About maddie wearing wool and her rushing into things/being very demanding: I think this is a big issue with a lot of long-time influencers. They got used to getting what they wanted from young age and they never learned to work hard and to grind. For them it's the normal and the standard, they have no idea what the real world is like out there. People hype them up from early on and that does things with your brain and personality. If people always kiss your ass and you are in high demand, a lot of these people start to think of themselves are VIPs and get cocky. It's the same with Maddie and so many other influencers. That is why they are probably a nightmare to work with because they feel superior to others. But also when they get something new (like a house etc.) they want everything done click-click-click because they are not used to waiting and being patient, like the rest of us. Most of us have to save, wait and do things in spare time, so we are used to not always getting what we want IMMEDIATELY. Which is fine, we do not have rush, we can take our time to do things just to our liking, or waiting till we have enough savings.
They have never learned to appreciate building up to something and working towards it at a slow pace. They are too used to what they want is what they will and SHALL get, no matter what.
This is why so much is going wrong with the house.
Sorry, WHAT? So she wears wool and “second hand” leather but refuses to buy compost if it contains animal MANURE??so maddie just wears wool now huh?
she has all the options in the world as a privileged white woman, who has plenty of money and lots of access to brands who'll gift her vegan-friendly clothing. yet she happily wears and promotes animal products.
YES!!!!!! I said the same thing.Sorry, WHAT? So she wears wool and “second hand” leather but refuses to buy compost if it contains animal MANURE??
I get the distinct impression that she's snobby when talking to tradesmen and is unrealistic with regards to her expectations about timescales, cost and what is actually possible. I bet a few have ditched her at the first opportunity.Aagh. That video about her garden & vulnerability. I've a few words for Maddy. Get a life. Honestly while she says it's a first world problem and infers it's not a profound sadness but it obviously is since she's mentioned that garden dozens of times. I don't know this but I wonder if her difficulty with trades people stretches beyond the usual probs we all encounter and is, in fact, their reaction to her demands. I perceive her as incredibly bossy, entitled and demanding. She has a lovely home, in a lovely area, is married (yeah, I know, he wouldn't be my choice either), has family around her, nice clothes etc but so often still chosen to focus on what she doesn't have. Doing up a house fan take years but seems Mads just can't wait and wants it done yesterday. I don't know why I watch her since she is soooo annoying.
Totally. She seems like she might be the sort who virtually hang over them making demands.I get the distinct impression that she's snobby when talking to tradesmen and is unrealistic with regards to her expectations about timescales, cost and what is actually possible. I bet a few have ditched her at the first opportunity.
