Hi guys! Silent follower of the forum here. I just cannot stay silent anymore, because something about her irritates me so much.
I remember watching her tips for studying, or life of a student in general, back in the day of old school YouTube, and I remember just thinking, "OMG, this girl is it for me, I just HAVE to follow her!!" Mind you, when I actually moved abroad to study, I got hit on the head with real life lol .. I related to the whole, Balkan girl studying abroad shtick, law of attraction, blah blah.. What a fool I was.
Truth be told, just fairly recently (last 1-2 years) I realised how orchestrated and fake everything about her (and many others) is. My best friend always had bad vibes from her, and always told me that she doesn't get why I like her. I think majority of the people who followed her, were sucked in by the pretty surface in the beginning, but now, especially in these trying times, it seems so obvious that she can't offer anything of substance, or relevance to the current everchanging times.
This oversaturation (if that's a word) of luxury items just makes me icky, and repels me so much, that even if I were in a financial situation, where I could afford all these pieces that she showcases, I would never in a million years buy them. She is such an anti-advertisement to all these brands that she represents, or desperately tries to represent. As some of you previously wrote, she is treating these items like they are fast fashion, and in my mind, that is exactly what they are becoming.
Not one word about the current situation in the Balkans, where a sort of #metoo movement is happening, at least not that I managed to catch from her socials. If she did say anything about it, I apologize, but I highly doubt it. Not one word about preserving mental health in the time of a global pandemic, except a few superficial remarks wrapped in a never ending queue of videos about poorly made matcha latte, and other trivial content.
I don't expect anything actually, but as an influencer who is followed by real people (to some extent lol) who may actually be impressionable, she never said anything that could actually benefit anyone other than herself.
Sorry for the long post, this was my impromptu application for this thread, as well as a rant because nobody around me follows her.
Stay safe guys! xx
