Without wanting to sound like one of those people, there's a whole media conspiracy around tattle.
The editors of the main newspapers in the UK have flat out refused to do an article with tattles input. Unless it's a "so sorry influencers", which isn't going to happen because we can't be sorry for the disgusting things they've invented to smear the site. That proves why the site should exist.
Moderation is very strict here. Far more than reddit, instagram, youtube etc. Of course many will say tattle needs "better moderation" but in reality this vague phrase is open to a million different interpretations. It's impossible to please everyone with an inherently unpopular task.
All they are interested in is pumping out "tattle bad, posters trolls, poor influencers mental health". Very surface level and biased.
Of course tattle isn't beyond criticism (nothing is). It's a very interesting topic talking about how people here gossip about public figures that put their life online as a business.
But these media organisations all have relationships and connections with many influencers that they don't want to risk.
It's really showing up influencers for exactly who they are. Making lies about death threats and rape threats that have never been posted here is awful behaviour. Rather than admitting the real reason they don't like tattle.
Tattle is one thing giving accountability to influencers as the ASA doesn't have the resources to regulate and they know 99.8% of the time they'll get away with flouting the rules.
Yes it must be uncomfortable people discussing your (not so) private life but if it's affecting you that much get another job. No one in a free country has the right to be famous and only receive praise. That's the kind of privilege the Supreme Leader of North Korea has.
If you're a musician or an actor there's a talent there so when people critique your new movie or album it's not personal. With influencers there's no talent or skill there to back up the fame. We get why they take negative comments so personally. But with or without tattle it's inevitable. Their posts on instagram do not benefit or enrich society. Monetising your personal life or the life of your children will never come without huge negative downsides.
Blaming tattle for everything (with no evidence) isn't going to help anyone, let alone themselves. But everyone likes a common enemy.
