I haven’t posted on here for such a long time (I spent lots of time reading here during the middle of the night feeds while I was on maternity leave).
This whole thing has fascinated me, almost to a point where I feel like we’re watching some sort of live social experiment. It makes me curious how we will look back at the ‘insta famous’ and ‘influencers’ in a decade or so, I think a lot of them will end up like a lot of the Disney stars from the 90’s/00’s!
The worst thing about these influencers is the power they have to quite literally influence vulnerable people - I was drawn into it all, I remember feeling somehow connected (I cringe now) to people like MOD in the early days when they lived in their old smaller house and spoke about parenting and their posts were more fun, I remember buying her book when I was pregnant with my second and feeling so underwhelmed by it, then I started to notice how much their lives were changing and their greed was growing. I unfollowed a while ago when it became obvious just how much was gifted to them and how crap it made me feel wanting to buy everything that these influencers had.
I’m glad that she’s been outed for just how two faced she and the whole instagram world is. The others have done themselves absolutely no favours and have made themselves look like the outcasts of Mean Girls, it’s nothing short of pathetic how they’ve posted these deep meaningful captions as if they’ve just found of that MOD is some kind of serial killer who should be behind bars - I would hate for any of them to experience any kind of real life trauma if this is their reaction to their insta pal writing both comments on a forum.

Anyway I’m glad I copied the text so all of you lovely, non trolling and actually bloody fair minded and well intentioned forum members could see it.
