I think if you report them, action is definitely taken and we receive a basic response with not much information about what steps were taken.
The reason why is that I have reported some celebs who never put ad or affiliate, ever. One was Katie Price. I received that standard, dismal response, BUT! the next time she posted an advert for the first time ever she marked it so!! Apparently being reported to the ASA is a big deal and they watch those accounts like a hawk.
Can I check something, so colleen ballinger did a sarcastic video about her pregnancy & it was just an excuse to advertise some products. First she advertised a skin cleaning system with different heads and the products, the sort of thing that was floating around in the 80s and was crap, and she's like laying it on thick 'this has been a huge life saver during my pregnancy'. That's when I knew it was an ad lol. She is not subtle. She then had a code for it for money off. She carried on advertising their other skin lotions saying how everyone compliments her skin now. She shows the website even and how to click on the items.
She then said she doesn't need shower as much as their shampoo and conditioner makes her hair look better longer LOL omg.
Anyway my point is, she has no #Ad, no affiliate nothing, the only thing she has done is the very last thing in the description box it says this video is sponsored.
Is that okay?!
Btw to those getting blocked, dw about telling them to their face cus they hate that, instead just report them. If they listened and did the right thing then fair enough, but they don't, & then you can't see to report them more haha. Eltoria is setting fire to any fan who dares mention her calendar rip off scandal, so just be aware they will go to their graves not doing the right thing unless you report them and then their hand is forced
(If you want to see the most cringey, cheesey video advertising stuff you know she never uses, cus she barely showers (and has said before this is a fact) then watch this horrible advert shilling crap she'll never use. it's at the right time)
