Agree completely. It is greed at the end of the day but also a function of how poorly paid a lot of skilled jobs are, what’s the point in her working in magland like someone else suggested when you can upload some baby pics and earn what you did in a month in a day?I don’t feel sorry for her but I agree the pressure to constantly be producing interesting content must be horrible. It must be so difficult to keep parts of your life private. For me, the thousands of pounds earned for a single post is not worth it. You sacrifice your privacy, your children’s privacy and probably your mental health.
Influencer culture is so weird it seeps down to normal humans, in the small group of mums I know you’ve got aspiring grabbies posting cringe comments thanking brands for tit they ordered, making homemare accounts for their tit extensions and over sharing about their kids’ lives. Our kids’ generation will have a huge divide between those whose parents did the reading & respected their privacy and didn’t leave them with a digital footprint before they could so much as read versus those that either needed the validation or monetisation and put bath pics etc up. It’s really sad tbh. This isn’t just about AS but I feel like her thread ends up in these convos cos she is a both a perpetuator and occasional victim of the illness that is #influencing???
