I agree with you entirely in terms of my own view of their toxic ‘brand’ but how many people who follow them:
a) actually care about their racism or non apology
b) may not even think that Glen is racist
c) may not even be aware of any of the historical stuff in the first place.
and would therefore happily buy whatever product they promote in the future.
I guess the point that I’m making is that this site can be a bit of an echo chamber and might not actually represent the majority of their followers. Madness I know, but sadly may be the case in this instance?
I get what you’re saying and can see how it applies to other influencers who clearly line the pockets of the press to only print good stories/bury the bad stories - so unless you independently think they’re chatting
tit or come to somewhere like Tattle you would be in the minority. Also agree that the huns for example either don’t know or don’t want to acknowledge that what Clemmie said was racist but don’t think a brand would go near her.
In MODs case, if she were to ever come back I think so many people would be quick to point out her misdemeanours and racism that a brand wouldn’t go near her as it would be so problematic for them. Especially given how so many, in light of BLM have pledged to better themselves. There would have to be an epic apology and a real sincere and honest acknowledgement of what she said/did before she could even begin a redemption let alone go begging for #gifts and #ads. As for FOD, although I think he’d throw her back under the bus to get those spindles I think he messed up big time with the BLM post and then ‘hacked hacked’ gate with House of Horrors.
But despite all that I don’t think they will give up - as someone said a few threads ago they’re like cockroaches in a nuclear blast, everything around them will be destroyed but they’ll still come crawling back for another go.
Please don’t laugh as I realise I’m potentially about to say something stupid/naive...but surely brands and/or companies diligently research proposed clients to make sure there are no skeletons in the closet before they sign them up? Assuming that I’d think a quick google would keep any brand away from the SODs. Having said that I never get how influencers who blatantly buy their followers e.g. Mrs Hinch get collaborations/ad deals when it’s clear the followers are fake (she’s had some brilliant bots recently...Bum Stretcher being one
) - are brands/companies that oblivious to it or don’t care?
As an aside to buying followers,
@heretoreaditall2019 did you get any further with the programme you were running or did Insta keep shutting it down as it thought (ironically) you were a bot?
