I started following her because I also was a care leaver who had kids really young and related to her journey, but she’s become so try-hard and fake! She’s living her life as per what sells now, not what is authentically her or has her kids in mind.
She is commodifying her children’s existence, exploiting them for content, and then pretending like it’s in their best interests? What happened to the Minnie who cared about covering their faces? I rated that. I think she must have realised her engagement dropped because n0nces weren’t interested anymore, and that was more important to her than their safety and privacy of course.
It’s just so disappointing to see someone I genuinely liked morph into a brand rather than a human. There are some people that go viral who should sit down and accept that it might have just been 15 minutes of fame, and that they don’t need to be sucked into the culture of being eternally performative online; I think Minnie is one of them.
She needs to reevaluate and seek some therapy. She’s a seriously damaged young girl who needs her ego stroking to compensate for her bad childhood. It’s tragic that she feels she needs to post ‘woe is me’ to 100k strangers for validation, and that she expects that all the attention she should receive should be positive. That’s not real life
. In the real world, if you brand yourself a public figure then you’re open to public scrutiny as much as praise - what’s so hard for influencers to understand about that? You can’t just demand 24/7
a-licking and endless cash for very little effort!
It’s not even like what she does makes her enough money to justify the risks she takes anyway, she’s still openly dependent on benefits:
She’s honestly in lala land if she thinks influencing will ever be her main income with how inconsistently she posts, how uninformed and uninspiring her posts are, and if she thinks endless streams of babies and demands for bigger council houses will encourage positive engagement forever. She’s much too sensitive and vulnerable to be a controversial, rage baity influencer like Alex, and without that, now that she’s finished decorating her council house and isn’t a single mum anymore, she’s got nothing of interest left to give. Nobody actually wants recipe content from someone who buys jars of pasta sauce or slow cooks a potato for nine hours only to whack tuna mayo on it, and nobody wants clueless budget content from someone who makes a 90p saving then spends 80p on carrier bags
She’s preaching to a choir who already have access to more polished versions of this kind of content.
She can do better by her kids and make something of herself, I do believe that! She just needs to stop pretending to be something she isn’t. She could take her content creation and social media management skills into working facelessly for local businesses. She’s already got the eye, the knack, the social media presence (she would just need to archive all of her personal content). She’s got an expensive fancy camera, the editing skills, she’s got her own transport, and she could work flexibly at home and around childcare easily. Lots of little businesses can’t afford their own in-house content creator or social media manager and would pay her to make videos or manage socials for them (@jzs has made a killing doing it!). And she can still do what she’s good at whilst safeguarding her family and without exposing their personal lives to the world for dissecting.
But of course, she wouldn’t want to do something like that because it’s actually
work. Girls who pop out kids expecting benefits and housing handouts don’t want to
work.
