Been doing it alooooong time. They’re lapping it up!I’m amazed she had done this! Disgusting
I thought people had to actually make a purchase using the link for these people to make money, it’s not just a click? In which case I find it even more galling as they are actually getting people to part with money which they most likely don’t have masses of (unlike Beggy). All of this is just so appalling. Even when they make an attempt to share a halfhearted #afflink or similar, none of it is regulated. I keep reporting stories as ‘spam’ when it’s just ad after ad... but nothing ever comes of it.Adding the swipe up links is nothing to do with the companies themselves, it's all done through a 3rd party. Once you're signed up with the 3rd party, you can link anything you want. You don't have to have bought it, you don't even have to like it or want it yourself, you can literally link anything you want as long as the company that makes the product is signed up to the 3rd party as well. If they're not with the 3rd party, they can add a link that goes straight to a company or product but of course, there are no "pennies" to be earned from that so there's no incentive for them to share stuff that they won't earn commission on.
Reporting her to the companies themselves would be pointless, she's doing their work for them by sharing the links in the hope that the sheep click through and make a purchase. Even if they don't buy anything, she's sending customers their way. That's a win for them. They don't care who shares their products, it's all potential customers and sales for them.
Why ask her followers for recommendations then show steamers using an ad/aff link? Obviously not her followers recommendations. She should be called out for this! I’m amazed at how little, if anything, she actually recommends purely for the benefit f her “followers”!I thought people had to actually make a purchase using the link for these people to make money, it’s not just a click?

All well and good reporting as Tax evasion, there HAS to be some better policing of feeds like these. They claim all they are doing is what magazines used to do, but it’s not the same, they are making money directly from those who follow and seemingly trust for genuine content. None of this is genuine.
she knows all about hand steamers, she runs a bridal shop!! It’s all premeditated and actually isn’t genuine recommendations, it’s shared purely for her own vanity project as well as to line her already full pockets.
I was going to write “How can she sleep at night knowing what she is doing is morally wrong?” Then I remembered, coming from the horse’s mouth herself - she can’t. She has a hard time sleeping that’s why she does all those rituals. It never occurred to her that it’s her conscience (if she has any) that causes those sleepless nightsshe knows all about hand steamers, she runs a bridal shop!!

This is what I mean though, there is no way to actually report this kind of thing. Other than her reading here, where she convinces herself, as well as others like Martha happily ever after (who is the same with ad after ad) that tattlers are “just trolls and jealous” rather than seeing that WE have morals. The only thing I do is report as spam, but that isn’t just what it is. A magazine simply makes people look at photos and think “oh wouldn’t that be lovely in my house” Beggy and others are becoming part of a much bigger problem in creating spending money people don’t have. She is enabling those who don’t have the money to part with things and in turn filling her own pockets off the back of those who CAN’T afford it.Why ask her followers for recommendations then show steamers using an ad/aff link?

Wonder if Watchdog would be interested? Channel 4 are quite good at exposing stuff like this. Also please clear your phones, cookie wise.This is what I mean though, there is no way to actually report this kind of thing.

makes me so cross, feeds like this are SCAMS and SHOPPING CHANNELS. there is absolutely nothing genuine or authentic in a recommendation.
Those of us who are deemed to be ‘trolls’ and ‘jealous’ are only considered to be that by the very people who are scamming people out of money.
we can see through the facade and people like this don’t like that we see them for what they are. Brands should also be held accountable yet there is nowhere to report.
I would love channel 4 to make a documentary exposing influencers, and how they really make their money, the psychology around it, how Instagram accounts are becoming small and big businesses, but not being strictly regulated, how people can buy bots to look more popular, and those accounts that are using their children for engagement and advertising, and the dangers of this.Wonder if Watchdog would be interested?

Problem is, it just gives these ‘influencers’ more exposure, not to mention they end up playing the victim to cruel trolls once more.Wonder if Watchdog would be interested? Channel 4 are quite good at exposing stuff like this. Also please clear your phones, cookie wise.
Should we ask why does she bother?She’s now doing an ‘ask me anything’.
She’s such a pratt...I asked her months ago why she had stuck “press trip” on a free holiday when she’s not a journalist or a member of the press and she blocked me
I remember her saying that it was a competition between her and a property developer to buy the house ‘off market’ and the owners picked her. Presumably because she would leave the house as it was and the developers would knock it down and rebuild...bet that family are happy to see this monstrosity now!‘I’m glad our house isn’t a new build and has character!’
She once said that they demolished most of the house and at one point only had 4 walls left up? How’s that not a new build? Numpty!!!‘I’m glad our house isn’t a new build and has character!’
Someone asked where a jumper was from bed she put a link rather just say where it was from!!! Unbelievable!!!‘Ask me anything and I’ll answer with a swipe up! Oh cunning little me! I won’t give too much detail on my skincare routine though, as the Botox and fillers are private’
Yet totally believable at the same time! She consistently takes the piss yet they all lap it up !She once said that they demolished most of the house and at one point only had 4 walls left up? How’s that not a new build? Numpty!!!
