I agree completely and I wish the people on here that want to keep mentioning her would go to her thread to do it, half the posts seem to mention her these days and just because she’s a more natural parent at interacting with her kids doesn’t make her any less problematic than Hinch. The only diffeeence between them is that Stacey is a way better business woman than Hinch, she’s shrewd and knows exactly what to do. She isn’t trolling Hinch, as much as people love this narrative, she’s just earning as much money as possible as quickly as she can because this won’t last forever. Sophie is lazy and greedy, doing the bare minimum and it’s obvious her time is done, she’s pretty much screwed herself for the future.

Then people need to take it to the Stacey thread, this is for Hinch, not to revel in the joy of Stacey’s office and some made up idea that Stacey’s life revolves around trolling Sophie. Stacey’s life revolves around making money from her children on Instagram and it’s despicable, not something to be admired.
I think Stacey gets mentioned here, rightly or wrongly, because of the relevance between the 2 - Hinch made a big deal out of their friendship and did everything she could to copy Stacey's way of living, I mean she got so envious once SSS got the cottage that she came up with the 'farm'...
Overall I would say nobody on here likes any influencer, because no matter how graceful their original idea was, they always end up being selling machines and in order to be 'influencing' they need to pretend to be trustworthy and friendly, which in fact is the psychological model of any household brand. The important difference between these people and brands, is that influencers use their actual homes, children, families and anything which should be private to reach that level of so called trust.
In my opinion, Trollomon earns her cash by being creative and consistent - Im not going to define the idea of 'hard work' because it's too subjective and in reality it doesn't mean anything, meaning it isn't measured fairly and that is just the way it is (although it's not right). I don't see why footballers get paid as they do, or traders etc and why a teacher or nurses gets paid so little.
Stacey is equally as shrewd when it comes to brand endorsement, but she also has many gigs she has worked for - I find her more inclined to name and tag brands even if in the end it will be to her advantage, whereas Hinch has only ever done it for hard cash or freebies. Hinch would have never taken a 'new influencer' under her wing the way Stacey did (even though S may have had an agenda) because she is scared of competition - she only pairs up with low life hinchers. Also I have to admit it is refreshing to see (not always) Stacey's human body and tired face without pretending.
I have worked or done business with people like Stacey, and they always see the bigger picture. I have also come across people like Hinch and they always fail in the end because of their ego, failure to delegate, and self inflicted ideas of grandeur.
I don't like either of them, but if I was to do business with one of them, I know who I would choose without a shadow of a doubt. And as a consumer I wouldn't buy anything directly linked to any influencer but that's just me.
To conclude, I'd say Hinch is immensely envious of Stacey and she believed she was above her for a while - they share over 55% of their followers so she knows she better rim her if she wants to stay in the market. She gets mentioned on here because it's inevitable, especially when there's nothing else to talk about! Like you I don't think Stacey is deliberately trolling Hinch but she certainly doesn't mind the backlash!
