Sheâs claiming people are getting confused, that when itâs a long term partnership she doesnât need to put it in the title⌠just needs to introduce itâŚ.. ummmm not sure the ASA agree with thatYep, I've reported it to the ASA. Don't know how she keeps getting away with it. They'll probably ignore it but I had time and was feeling petty today

From her new YouTube video.

âIf the video is largely editorial but includes a section that is advertising, or only some of the products featured are affiliate-linked products, it should be clear immediately before or at the time the advertising starts/the affiliate linked products are featured â either by way of a clear verbal explanation or prominent on-screen text to make clear which parts of the content are advertising.â
Itâs unclear to me where vlogs or for example her book reviews fall under the guidelines. Technically only a âsectionâ is her verbally advertising skillshare, but itâs not the case that Skillshare is just present amongst other affiliated products in a video. The entire purpose of the video is the Skillshare ad with vlog footage interspersed. If Skillshare didnât pay, the video wouldnât exist (imo). So the video is an AD?
Especially in a vlog when she just takes a bath and cooks noodles for dinner or talks about a book she read.

This comment was spot on but of course Jess had to respond with a condescending comment implying she knows more.
These âcreatorsâ need to realise that they wouldnât be in the position to set up Patreons without all of these regular non-paying subscribers in the first place. They can preach about it being âfree contentâ all they like, but theyâre still getting ad revenue. Thatâs not free content IMO!

What annoys me about jess is she pretends to be woke but then has no problems with scamming her patreon subscribers or breaking ASA rules 
Conveniently doesn't answer or respond to the main point the person is trying to make....
I honestly can't believe she has over 1000 patreons? Unless she has a really high turnover rate? It sounds like she mainly uses it to chat about books in a "safe space"
on discord. Paying to be "friends" who never criticize her!
Re this comment that I have attached - what commitments does Jess have? Being a parent is one of course but even for that she has help both paid and through family.
Other comments are defending her saying she does this for free we can't demand anything. The lines get so blurry though when she's making money off her audience, popping back up with ads and expecting support of her sponsorships etc. Also spending most of her time moaning about how drained and tired she is to her audience who are probs genuinely 10x busier than she is is a massive ick.
Also the comments she gets on YT are pretty tame and I would say are more constructive criticism than being mean so idk why these followers are running to her defence.

I'm fighting the urge not to reply to every single one of those comments defending her. The ad is RIGHT THERE, it's not free content when she's earning revenue! She has no other jobs and employs a nanny to look after her child! The bar is so low and these people just sound stupid defending her when she gives them nothing but crumbs.
Itâs like a cult almost now. Where the blind follow the blind
Oooh keep us updated
i also commented... but her cult following is just plain stupid, praising her regardless and race to defend her from any "mean" comments haha
does she only have followers under the age of 25 who do not know what a "regular" day job is like?
I donât even have a problem with her wanting to take a step back from YouTube to be a part time stay at home mum and part time everything else, she has the financial means to do it and a lot of parents would if they could.
My problem comes with when she does upload a video itâs an ad for some random company thatâs not even relevant to her channel, she has a patreon where people are giving her thousands of pounds of their money a month (& doing so during such a poor economic period) and sheâs not delivering to them, and in the videos people on YouTube do get itâs just her moaning about being tired all the time or starting a new week fresh on a Wednesday, in this recent case starting the new yearâŚa few days before Easter.
If sheâd made a video when Ines was born saying shes probably going to be uploading less until Ines is in school, but the videos when they did arrive were decent quality and werenât condescending I honestly donât think this thread or her comments would be half as bad.

this made me look up her patreon (I used to be a member), never paid attention to how many patrons she had. Over 1000! Paying at least ÂŁ3 a month, and ÂŁ8/month is the most popular tier! Damn
This is absolutely sickening
No wonder she doesnât give a tit about YouTube unless itâs for an AD
Thatâs terrible. I understand supporting people on Patreon even if they donât upload all the time to support them. Do you know the âyouâre wrong aboutâ podcast? They donât upload often but put a lot of time and effort into research and stuff. Iâd understand if Jess put effort into what she does but she just half asses everything. Her book videos are dull and long. She just briefly summarizes huge piles and moves on. I used to like her vlogs but now (when she does post them) theyâre long and mostly of her just in her house. I think she should evolve her content or move on cuz right now sheâs more of a grifter than a YouTuber.
Does anyone remember her friend Lucy who looked a lot like Jess? She appeared in a few videos, they went on double dates with Zak and her boyfriend. Wonder why they fell out. She really doesn't have any friends outside her little uni circle, does she?
Iâm not sure we would even know because she never films anything interesting she does
