I totally get what you are saying.
And to go back to a point I did make that if there are people out there willing to line their pockets and give them freebies, what incentive is there for Lee to get up off his arse and provide for his family?
Whilst for some of these influencers it may very well be a job, and one which very few do well, she’s not in that minority. She continues to turn out piss poor content, crams her “workload” into the smallest timeframe possible and that’s okay? If I was at work and had a project I was working on that I told my boss I’m just going to do what I want and not what the company wants and that I’ll also be cutting my hours into just one day but I’ll still get it all done, I wouldn’t have a job for very much longer.
I completely appreciate everything you have said and it’s valid, absolutely, however I just think saying this is her job is a bit of a piss take. It started out as a hobby while she was at home with a baby and her husband was offshore. She’s never worked a day in the real world in her entire puff. She’s managed to manipulate and play the game very well in my opinion. She’s taken every opportunity that’s come her way at whatever cost.
I completely agree, she’s shady AF! (That’s not an affiliate link btw ?) she’s not warm and relatable and I can’t understand what their USP is to any brand working with them.
I also didn’t say I worked for my money, I said I can look around my home knowing I paid for everything and worked hard for it.. I’ll sleep well in the bed I paid for and she can cosy up in her tempur mattress, switch off the next lamps that are sat on her oak furniture land draws and cuddle in to Lee’s new six pack he got at the gym today.
Peace & Love

I like this conversation a lot and actually think it could be a good topic for the new chat section.
Please don’t think I’m defending these arse wipes. But
what incentive is there for Lee to get up off his arse and provide for his family?
I don’t think he needs one, or needs to get a job if he’s now taking on the majority of the child care.
He did work and I hate defending either of them but that can’t have been easy for either of them back then.
She’s managed to manipulate and play the game very well in my opinion. She’s taken every opportunity that’s come her way at whatever cost.
I watch 17/18/19 year old on YouTube, the likes of Saffron Barker, Anastasia Kingsnorth, tons more who regularly get flown around the world for sponsored trips, get “book deals” and primark ranges and makeup pallets, PR and spon work, and they all do feck all work, upload once or twice a week (lazy content at best) yet are now basically millionaires or on the road to being millionaires.
There are no rules when it comes to what’s expected, only the rules made by the company they’re working with, some companies can be happy with a 2 min upload and some want more.
We all know she does bare minimum and can’t have much pride in what she posts, that would be the thing that would bother me most. Knowing my content was pure rubbish I wasn’t proud of.
But you get that in all walks of life in all work settings. Basic
witches who do minimum work, file their nails beside the copy machine and clock out bang on 5pm ? smuggle as much stationery and toilet roll out in their bag to get the most out of the work room perks ?
Meldrum is a loo roll smuggler at best. ?
I don’t really mind any of these influencers selling their souls to the embarrassing QVC lifestyle once they own it.
Once they admit what they’re doing and drop the shady AF fake content to try and hide the second hand car dealership personality.
If the sheep want to baa and buy, let them. More fool them.
The things I really have a problem with right now are the GAWD FORSAKEN DAMN LIES ???
And the opportunities they receive that others would kill for. Book deals, especially fiction novels.
This really, really boils my piss.
Sorry this is a bit rant. Xxx
