Fair enough. Mod knows what she’s doing and feels strongly enough to know that anyone disagreeing is not really worth the time. It can only be good for her. (Not saying she’s done it for her, I don’t think she has) but I don’t think she was brave. Any normal person would post it.I think it’s brave for anyone to put their opinion out there on such an emotive topic (particularly when the rest of your feed tends to be more frivolous about necklaces and holidays and dog poo), but especially when you have so many followers and you just know the deranged people are going to come at you thick and fast
I certainly posted something on my feed. But my feed is really small of course lol.Fair enough.

She has 640k followers of course she knew it would be emotive and explosive. She’s not dim, she’s a business woman running a business page. You don’t assume 640k people share your opinion. She will have calculated the potential fall out but feels it is worth putting this out there. Which it is and good on her. 2k loss of assholes followers is a drop in the ocean with 640000 followers and she will quickly regain.She just posted to say she's lost 2k followers after that post, I reckon when she posted it she didn't expect the negativity, its easy to assume most of your following are just like you, similar mindset etc, glad to see she's leaving the post up and sticking with it.
I hear what you’re saying from a ‘business’ perspective but I’d really like to reign in my cynicism just a bit and hope it’s more than just that. After all, she trained and qualified as a midwife long before IG?She has 640k followers of course she knew it would be emotive and explosive.

I’m not being cynical, it’s the best post she’s done in ages and the kind of thing I’d really like to see her using her reach for, it’s been used for holidays, flooring and sofas for way too long. But MOD is no longer an empowering midwife, she does less than a shift a week and is a full time influencer. It would be foolish to pretend otherwise.I hear what you’re saying from a ‘business’ perspective but I’d really like to reign in my cynicism just a bit and hope it’s more than just that.

had to quickly check I hadn’t made a typo and accused you of being cynicalI’m not being cynical, it’s the best post she’s done in ages and the kind of thing I’d really like to see her using her reach for, it’s been used for holidays, flooring and sofas for way too long.

Of course she's sticking with it - a 0.3% follower loss is fuck all! She might loose 1k with every post thesedays (then get new followers trickling).She just posted to say she's lost 2k followers after that post, I reckon when she posted it she didn't expect the negativity, its easy to assume most of your following are just like you, similar mindset etc, glad to see she's leaving the post up and sticking with it.
It does make her a much less experienced midwife.I didn’t know she had cut down her MW hours - not that it makes her any less of a MW for the women she cares for.
I’m aware you were reigning in your cynicism, I’m just stating that my viewpoint isn’t cynical. Of course her reduction in hours makes her less of a midwife. She’s not hands on, on the job, there’s no continuity of care, she’s not in the community. She literally does the bare minimum to keep her registration and so she can trot out the I’m an nhs midwife usp. She stated a number of times she’s ‘working’ on holiday, reviewing holidays etc.had to quickly check I hadn’t made a typo and accused you of being cynical
I assumed all her midwifery stuff was on her other account, which I hadn’t bothered to look at, I didn’t know she had cut down her MW hours - not that it makes her any less of a MW for the women she cares for.
I meant, to the specific person she is helping at the point of delivery, she isn’t less of a midwife but I take your overall point. Doesn’t she also train students? Or has that been knocked on the head too? I guess she’s trying to do both. I don’t know her skill level obviously, but some of the midwives I met, who *are* in the community, who *are* hands on, who *do* fulfil their full time hours... are fackin awful.I’m aware you were reigning in your cynicism, I’m just stating that my viewpoint isn’t cynical.

The engagement on her post will be fantastic. The most scary (financially attractive) thing about these influencers is their reach and power because followers feel they know them and stick up for them etc. To you she’s brave and selfless, to the business she’s calculated and clever.
Hasn’t she been doing this for years already, though? In the time before IG?It does make her a much less experienced midwife.
I agree, I’ve had some awful midwives. Not in the community for me but at delivery.I meant, to the specific person she is helping at the point of delivery, she isn’t less of a midwife but I take your overall point.

I’m not saying she’s entirely brave and selflessjust gutsy I suppose - would have been much easier to keep her head below the parapet and say nothing at all
Hasn’t she been doing this for years already, though? In the time before IG?
I'll call her brave and gutsy the moment she does a post explaining why she's a one day a week midwife and spends more time "working" going on holiday and promoting rampant consumerism. Now that's the honesty I want from ClemmieI’m not saying she’s entirely brave and selflessjust gutsy I suppose
