Does she only open from 11-5 so she doesn’t have to pay the staff a proper wage? Because that’s a strange time to open a thriving shop.
If you work for more than 6 hours, you’re entitled to a 20 min break and it’s not allowed at the start of your shift or the end, so that’ll be why

I dunno Jeff mate, maybe it’s that extra chin?
That’s her hair when she’s had a cut? And been necking hairburst???? Why does she think she’s #excercisegoals just cos she’s back on the bandwagon? She’s got no humility at all has she, she’s got such massive wanker energy it hurts to watch

Sorry if this has been hashed out before but what actually happened to her massive following ? Was she hacked ?
A beautician friend of mine gave me a few horror stories of her from about 5/6 years ago when she was at the height of her success before I think she unveiled her identity.

Hahaha I can’t remember the full story of this, but it was along the lines of SB requested my friend do her eyebrows for promo. She had already done her eyebrows a few times (always with the expectation that it would be free for promo!). But friend used to always say she was nice, she was normal, she didn’t look like a glam Scouse bird she was just a nice normal woman.

Until ... lol ...
This one occasion friend attended (after work, knackered!) where SB requested and when she got there SB had about maybe 10 friends with her ... all expecting the same free treatment!!!!
Friend is a very nice, chill person, avoids drama at all costs. Voiced concerns regarding time / cost etc. But felt pressure to do everyone’s eyebrows FOR FREE or this would not end well for her business on social media (dramatic words to that effect).

Weeks later friend rang with Glee to tell me SB had lost everything lol. I can’t remember how she lost it all though, was it a hack ?? Scouse Ma definitely filled the gap in the social media market, her follower numbers are phenomenal. SB must be sick.

what’s that.... yet more Tory behaviour 👀
Wow - what a class act she is. How awful -
Thanks for sharing, feel for your friend being put in that position - I’m sure she’s thriving, whereas the only thing thriving with SBP is the hole bacteria left behind on her tongue from all the ‘scranning’ 🤢

The "massive following" was paid followers. She shuts her account to private whenever she buys another few thousand so it doesn't show up on the influencer analytics systems.

The companies that sell follower services periodically delete huge caches of accounts before the algorithm recognises them as bots and starts shadow banning the purchasers. This isn't a comparison by any means, but this is why the likes of Kim Kardashian can lose 200k followers in a week and the press start speculating what post must have been controversial/offensive etc. Jeff's numbers fly up and down because bought followers can get expensive, and the costs of maintaining your numbers can mount rapidly.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

So how do these fake followers get added to accounts? Are they the ones that have Russian and Arabic names usually with a profile pic of a plant? Or where they have an English first name like Dave or Emily but surname will be completely foreign and will be a random glamour model pic? Does Insta recognise it and delete them? Girl I work with has gone from 800 to 5300 in a week and she also periodically goes private, each pic has about 60 likes. Really curious to how it all works.

To be fair, Martin is ripped as hell but about 5ft 4. His wife is bleeping terrifying.

So, you can buy them online two ways: you can buy a big bundle (the cheaper option), or you can pay for a service that drip feeds new followers to your account, which 9/10 times falls under the algorithm radar. The accounts are either one person operating with a software that can support thousands of fake accounts at once, or they're actual accounts owned by users, mainly Arabic and Eastern European, who get paid something like 2p per follow.

Instagram can't tell who's fake per se, but it monitors how many people interact with your account. Using mine for example, I have about 9k followers. I average 800-2000 likes per post, with anything from 50-150 comments. So, even though I haven't loads of followers, my content gets pushed heavily by insta because my engagement rate is high. If you've bought say, 100k followers, but you're only getting 100 likes per post with 5 or 6 comments, the algorithm knows what you're doing and shadow bans you. This means your content doesn't show on the discovery page, nor does it show in hashtag searches.

Even if you're not shadow banned, the other issue is that insta only shows your content to people who list your sort of page as an interest, or regularly click on posts similar to yours. So, let's say Jeff buys the real followers who are clicking for pennies, it's unlikely they list bleep mugs as an interest or regularly click on pics of hairy fanny pens. So insta shows her content to people with no interest in what she does, hence the drop in engagement.

There is a software that can detect the likelihood of false followers: my agent uses it on all of us, as do many big brands. If you've got a lot of fake followers, they might take a punt and throw you £50 and free product for the post, but ya girl Shirl doesn't post for anything less than £750 a pop. Buying followers is false economy and only works for major influencers like Kim K, who may have several million fake followers, but the hundreds of thousands of real ones drive enough traffic to insta for Zuckerberg to turn a blind eye.

Phew 😂

Didn’t she get hacked though and had to rebrand?
So, what I think happened there is around that time, a lot of agencies popped up claiming to get you legitimate followers. They would call themselves something bleeping trite like "growth specialists" or whatever. They basically claimed to know how to overrun the algorithm and, in order to do that, needed your login details so they could manage your account. All they did was follow people from your account, then when they followed back, delete them. Silly strategy.

Most contracts contained a clause that they could post ads on your page as you. I don't know if you recall, but around that time, random ads for tit like blinds or other unaffiliated rubbish would show up on her page. That's what makes me think she was paying a growth agency.

The stinger is, you're handing your login over to people you don't know. They could lock you out if you miss a payment, or simply sell your page on to a company looking to make a quick buck (they do so by locking you out of your account, mass posting ads so they populate your followers pages. They know everyone will unfollow, but it's worth it in advertising for that one big audience hit).

This actually happened to a dear friend of mine who had a successful beauty page and it devastated her. Jeff is a bully so I've no sympathy there, but I do feel for anyone who has fallen foul to this.
