Is it really necessary to go STRAIGHT to London the very next working day after getting 100k subscribers? Presumably this is to pick up some stupid placque.
 
Exactly!!! She could’ve stayed home with her yesterday but she chose not too, and then feels guilty??

The little skirmish with Rosie did get me thinking about influencer fraud and some of the shady things that are going on. I'm not suggesting MrsM Ltd is doing any of these things, this is more general in the industry as a whole.

- Undisclosed ads and gifting - is a review a genuine review or not - does the consumer know the influencer is incentivised to show off the product?
- Like pods amongst the influencer community creating fake engagement
- Buying likes and followers - a quick google shows there are dozens of companies offering this service - 1000 likes costs as little as £7!! how are these companies allowed to exist??
- Deleting comments so that only positive comments stand - this gives consumers and brands a misleading version of whether an influencer is popular or worth investing in or not - would a more traditional company get away with this? (well I suppose F&F did it but does this make it ok?)
- Fake profiles and bots - even with a private small profile you get bombarded with obviously fake profiles wanting to follow you - this isn't really fair on the influencers that want to be squeaky clean

Have I missed anything off? Why is nothing being done about this by the social media platforms or other regulators?

Just a thought has lee got another company in his name? I can remember in the he left his job video that he wanted to do something else. I wonder if he’s hiding another source of income from the video to make her look more successful than she is!!
 
That trip to Disney isn’t still clear, the description in the info box is really vague and made to look like it’s a breeze at Disneyland when it’s not. They had to have the VIP passes otherwise wouldn’t have made it to most ride in that short of a time. Disney is been unrealistic not all can pay the trip let alone VIP tickets. This advert is misleading and not clear at all. Going to find out how to get in touch with Disney over this.
 
Doubtful hes got the time

Maybe hes flogging things ebay and local groups free gifted stuff, spare sheds that sort of thing.

Poor tesco blanked out of vlog video its all disney.

Puzzled by their lack of response

Watched the vlog sounded like a sales patter lets go see the cup cake person.
We get disney channels

Why they so obsessed with gin

So the #next AF jumper she ‘bought’ from @Next... is that with her own money or voucher given by @Next?

Fancy telling us at the end of it what was what, who paid for it and how much that trip was, yes that would be helpful since they made it very misleading, it’s a poor advert! Very dishonest and portraying it’s all good when it’s busy but it’s not and there’s not many that can pay for the trip let alone VIP tickets.

She couldn't win either way yesterday though. Saffiyah had her birthday outing to the cinema yesterday. Reb would have been slated if she had missed that.

So Lee couldn’t have done it!?! It’s ok for him to stay at home all the time with sick children including on holiday but it’s not ok for her?!

People have complained to her about the amount of adds she add lately, she even had a woman that put exactly how many and the period in which they had been posted, not sure but something like 15 adds in such a short period and she said it was only due to her management of it that it happened that way. People are noticing more and more.

In case you don't trust the links for fear of dodgy websites:
Lee's directorships




And the Meldrum company directors

It seems that she has primary control over the business.
Registered addresses will be accountants etc - don't go pestering them they just represent clients
The fact they had another vlogging channel yet only have one company registered is perfectly normal. Another channel can simply be regarded as a trading style of the other channel etc
To be completely fair they have unlike some other vloggers to have registered quite early on in their vlogging careers

Do we think chicken supreme can be trusted not to do any funny insta stories whilst rebs away.

Wonder what's in his slowcooker
Nursery and school run with sick baby.

Maybe Mimi saved the day.

They are both directors so they are equally responsible for ensuring the company operates in line with all applicable laws and regulations.

Agree with this "Yet when shit hits the fan they just a lovely family trying to survive long cold Scottish winter".

Pick any influencer, any of them, and count up the number of ads/gifts/affs/freebies in a month. You will be shocked by the number.
