I think it took me about 4 years to finally find tattle.
I followed hunch when she had 89k followers, she was alright, played some upbeat nostalgia early 00s music and I liked it. It was when she hit around a 2 million I started thinking something's not right here, no one in real life knew who she was, but she had more followers than some actors that are on tv, it just didn't make sense. He content was ok but not Hollywood level entertaining. (I never found her interesting enough to buy any of her books or merch - I remember thinking, wtf does a 28 year old house wife have to tell me about life?)
The next nail in the coffin was that she started to obsess over "trolls" I had no idea who or where these invisible "trolls"were she was so obsessed with and she seemingly started to make one way arguments on her stories that made absolutely no sense to most of her followers. As someone who grew up with the internet, I couldn't understand why she was so vapid and nasty on her stories about "trolls" (only she could see) as the term "haters Gon hate" had been around for 10+ years and you just have to get over it if you want to be in the public eye, which she clearly did, having posted multiple times a day for years to get her engagement up. She just can't take criticism at all, alot of criticisms are well founded and have a point. But she's unable to address it with any more maturity than a 2 year old throwing a tantrum.
The third nail in the coffin for me was when she started fawning over SSS and copying her aesthetic, editing videos in a way that just didn't seem authentic or genuine, up beat dance tunes were replaced with somber power ballads and just a complete mood killer tbh. She started taking herself too seriously. Particularly it was hunch screeching in SSS's garden I NEED THIS LOIFE then inevitably killing her own career, because while yes, doing lots of ads really fast can make you lots of money - but there is no longevity in it, it wasn't thought out at all, eventually we would all start skipping her ads (sorry stories
![Face with rolling eyes :rolling_eyes: 🙄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f644.png)
) the way we skip and flick through ads on Tv. But I don't think she thought that far ahead and the green eyed monster got her and she wanted it now, and not do all the leg work and building a relationship with her audience genuinely the way SSS has in many ways.
The final nail in the coffin for me was the constant bragging, which had been going on for years, but it pushed me over the edge this year. I found tattle in March this year and lurked until she was in Malta and bullshitting about how popular she was there WHEN LITERALLY NO ONE HAS GOOGLED HER THERE. Everything she done according to her is amazing. The countless gifted items and that condescending tone, she didn't work for it, she posted a few stories and tagged a few accounts. That's it. Her real following in my estimate should be around 300k.
So I began googling "can anyone else not stand Mrs hinch now?" And up popped my people's, tattle.
I could go on but sadly my job doesn't revolve around being beggy on Instagram for freebies ATV x
