What a kind reply, thank you. Yes my hands were shaking and I felt a bit sick posting however I feel really strongly about this and it’s nice to have a wee place to express feelings. Not everyone is a troll, we are real people with real lives on social media looking for something (to some of us that is guidance or reassurance) and yes we can choose not to watch but sometimes you don’t even know you’re being influenced. (Does that sound stupid since she’s an influencer??? Yes maybe!) I’m a mother in my mid 30s and so embarrassed at the amount of purchases I’ve made because they “looked so so good”!
And that’s just the surface, this whole KKK mess, candice, the no fucks tee, and so more, she personally (edgy herself)really has messed up.
Please please please don't feel bad.
I'm a mum in my late 30s too.
I guess I got into you tube nearly 3 years ago now and started watching Mrs Meldrum when Florrie was 18months old.
I started to feel uneasy about her when she was pregnant with poppy and have disliked her channel since Lee gave up work.
I was also not a huge fan of the meldrums vlogging channel as felt it was all so samey.
When I became uneasy about her I used to read and contribute to influencer threads on mumsnet.
This opened up my eyes to others felt the same way and that maybe others I watched were also not as good as they seem.
I joined here when she lied about Disney land.
I felt a bit duped times in past I Disney realise I was being advertised too or that items and holidays were gifted.
I felt some had breached my trust.
Deletion of all negatives made me wonder why am I the only one with negative thoughts
The constant rants about trolls anyone who disagrees manipulates her followers and makes the platform run like a dictatorship as sheep attack any other sheep even if the politely disagree it's not always a positive/kind platform.
If you vulnerable or depression/anxiety than the effects are even worse.
But she doesn't care about her vulnerable followers sadly.
We had a chuckle in the last thread about when we were sheep many were influenced to buy the mop.
For me it's influencers that started me buying method cleaning products.
Reading threads like I hate myself / I feel betrayed/ she makes me feel inadequate or I got into debt makes me feel so angry and sad.
