It's the spoilt approach to her 'influencer career' where she's doing the bare minimum needed to collect paychecks, freebies, and attention at her leisure but isn't respectful enough of her following who made this bullshit possible to be direct with them about her intentions. She doesn't owe her following a revelation about her pregnancy, but everything else is pretty low-integrity bullshit. Obviously no one is obligated to view her videos or social media but I find it a pretty shabby way to treat a following. If I were rich and educated like her, I would have fucked off of the internet, rather than putting out blatant anti-content just to keep myself semi-relevant in what's becoming a pretty universally reviled 'career'. Her level of participation makes it crystal clear how transactional this all is and diminishes the viewership experience - you know you're just being bought and sold with your click and getting about zero in return at this point.

Couldn't have said it better.

I really do think she is pregnant and the more I think about it, the more sense I actually think it makes. Her mom had her very young too--even younger than Jess is now. I could see her being of the mindset that she really enjoyed having a young mom growing up and now she wants to recreate this family model. They've got the huge house (sure, it's not ready, but they've got it); they've got the money; they've got the time (more than enough); and most importantly they've got no other purpose or aspirations that we know of (no career plans or anything). I can see how she would rationalize having a baby now. Zak's sister also has kids already.
I said this a while ago on this thread but I really think she's going to wait till after the baby is born to say anything (and when she does I think it'll be very understated). Even after she has the baby I doubt she'll share much of it. She already doesn't show us anything relating to her boyfriend, parents, siblings, friends, other relatives...so I really don't expect her to start with her baby. As I mentioned in a previous post, it's 100% fair enough to not want to share your private life online but then why pursue this career? At least be honest and tell your viewers exactly what this is to you. Don't hide 99% of your life from us only to then come at us with your "Hi my loves
" and pretend like you actually have a personal connection with your audience.
I would agree with the whole "pregnancy is no one's business and not everything needs to be shared online" thing when it comes to any of us random folks, but for someone who sells their lifestyle online as their job? I'm sorry, but no. I tend to think it would just be the respectful thing to do to let your audience know at least about the major things happening in your life. When she does things like Vlogtober isn't the whole purpose that she shows us into her life and tells us what she's getting up to, how she's feeling, what she's thinking about? If she's posting these videos while hiding a whole pregnancy then that's pretty disingenuous in my opinion. You just can't have the cake and eat it too.
