And her periods.Vile Vicky Pattison!
And her periods.Vile Vicky Pattison!
someone I went to school with announced their engagement on Facebook a few years ago and one of her friends made a post congratulating her and genuinely said “all that hinting paid off”. It wasn’t even a digSomeone announcing a pregnancy, a friend congratulates them, and there is a massive derail where EVERYONE else commenting tags the friend and says 'you'll be next' / 'you next!' So presumptuous! I cringe when its celebrities, it's like this sad attempt at closeness.
Similar when someone announces an engagement, and people comment 'about time!' No sense of tact!
Well done you had to push someone into proposingsomeone I went to school with announced their engagement on Facebook a few years ago and one of her friends made a post congratulating her and genuinely said “all that hinting paid off”. It wasn’t even a dig
The only people who use this are people that won't accept valid criticism of their awful behaviourPeople who put "Be kind" in their profile pics and then proceed to be 'orrible, judgemental shitbags to others.
Totally agree, remember in the late 90s when Andrea Turner was (rightly) slated for having her wedding photos sponsored by flake? Nowadays even huge celebs who definitely don't need the money are flogging tat onlineI'm a old bag, so I'm very much not the target audience, but I honestly don't understand how the influencer thing caught on so quickly?
I mean, everyone moans endlessly about ads on FB, Twitter and YouTube, but they're quite happy to spend hours online, following the lives of people whose only actual job is to sell stuff to you? I don't really follow influencers but from what I gather, without exception they're all bragging about something. Their car, clothes, holiday, jewellery, skincare regime, tech and home decor...it's all attainable and up for grabs at the right price. Either that or they're pimping out their kids, pets or partners.
I recently signed up to Insta, just to follow an artist that I like (I was at a gig and there were lots of photos uploaded which I wanted to see)
I started following some celebs, and Jennifer Aniston was suggested. I loved her in Friends, and I've always thought that she was pretty cool but even she's flogging protein bars or some such tat, she's bloody loaded, surely she doesn't need the money? I want to see pics of her dogs and her beach house, not her yukky kale smoothies or whatever
Presumptuous and insensitive too.Someone announcing a pregnancy, a friend congratulates them, and there is a massive derail where EVERYONE else commenting tags the friend and says 'you'll be next' / 'you next!' So presumptuous! I cringe when its celebrities, it's like this sad attempt at closeness.

Couldn't agree more! I think it's totally mad that influencer is an actual job people can have and that there are millions who are gagging to follow these people. Has never made sense to me.I'm a old bag, so I'm very much not the target audience, but I honestly don't understand how the influencer thing caught on so quickly?

It's bizarre thing for me is that influencing actually works. There must be something that is subconsciously doing something to us to make it lucrative though because I can't say I've ever actively influenced by an ad or an influencer yet they clearly work otherwise it wouldn't be a thing!I'm a old bag, so I'm very much not the target audience, but I honestly don't understand how the influencer thing caught on so quickly?

Yeah, and then they spout their weird views on Twitter or reveal something dodgy about their personality and you feel disappointed and conflicted. Back in the day you could just admire someone's work and not have to know about their icky quirks.It's bizarre thing for me is that influencing actually works.

I also think celebrities have always been mystical and alluring. It was a secretive world, even when I was growing up in the noughties. Now you can see what your favourite celeb is doing from your bed.
