Puzzles what you think and feel? I think that many of us now feel this way. I too have stopped following all.I agree. I actually just unfollowed all the cancer "influencers" because of this recent drama. I have no further interest in someone who wants to shut people up, dictate what the internet can say, threaten people with a differing opinion, etc.
Cancer (and other illness) is such a personal and emotional thing. Whether you have it, a loved one has it, you are a caregiver or health care worker and have to deal with the emotional toll on a daily basis, or have lost someone to it, it's hard. It's a total unfair witch and it sucks. And people are going to have strong feelings.
If you are putting your whole journey and life along with it out there, then you should have expected that.
Just like in real life, you start a new job, not everyone will like you and you won't like every new co-worker. And just because you have cancer or any other illness doesn't mean you are a good/nice/saintly person and people will forgive or ignore any crappy thing you say or do. I know someone who had partial lungs removed for cancer and if you didn't know him you'd think he was a sweet man with a soft spoken voice who always smiled...he's one of the grossest people I know. Do I feel sorry for him and his situation, yes. Do I wish bad for him, no. Do I like him, no.
That's where people get it wrong, just because you don't like someone who happens to have a hardship or illness they say you are horrible. And that's ridiculous.
And since this is T's thread I'll reiterate that just because I don't like her and she annoys me doesn't f*cking mean I would want to see anything bad happen to her or wish her ill. I'm not a "hater". I'm just someone who got invested in her story, cared about her, she started to annoy me and piss me off, I felt confused, everyone was getting blocked for reaching out to her in worry, found this place and others who felt the same and can now hash out my feelings from afar and check in on her every now and then.
So with all these influencers popping up, they should really consider their subject and what type of audience they will be drawing in, the mindset of many of those people, and whether they can handle any criticism or backlash before setting up camp. It takes tough skin I imagine, something I could never do.
mukbangs < make me laugh. Why would anyone want to see someone eating? Surely it has to be a fetish?Posing the question: and I wonder if her threads here will then need to be relocated under a nonhealth category? Does this happen, is this a normal thing, if an 'influencer' tries to capitalise off of a health crisis, but then shifts to a more general focus (even if the actual substance of their earlier content mostly didn't fit under their sensational topic titles all along anyway)? Is this part of a standard playbook, as we've seen so many of Tiffany's tricks to monetise her channel have been, a very known and common roll out used by numerous others to increase their audience and sub engagement levels, then return to a more general focus in hopes of sustaining interest in their content as a foreseeable continuing career?
I am curious how many of her followers will endure if she switches back to mukbangs, clothing and makeup. I wonder if she's hired or sought counsel from a PR agent to date or to make the intended transition. I daresay that, while some 'influencers' may be upset about being chatted about on Tattle, (they are likely jarred when first coming across the existence of and contents here; I know, admittedly, I was, too [it grows on you, though, lol ]). But, there is also certainly far more "colourful" commentary here on TL besides that made towards health IG posters. Far, far more explicit and descriptive comments can be found elsewhere here. Certainly, the more materialistic, hyperbolic and self aggrandising the 'influencer', the stronger the 'feedback' found here. It's not unique or personal, it's very formulaic and easily predictable and seems to be in direct proportion to the same characteristics of the 'influencer' themself and their channel that trigger the viewer to want to comment here.
There is an aphorism: "there is no such thing as bad publicity". Tiffany and others may find that to be true should interest in them markedly wane, for one reason or another. Bad publicity may not be the worse thing they encounter in their efforts at popularising an internet revenue stream (once they adjust their sensibilities to the content here and learn to appreciate its importance in counteracting a very one-sided plotted narrative [the book 1984 comes to mind, how "truth" is so easily changed and manipulated for an ulterior motive and how dissent is crushed in order to control the fabricated storyline of "reality"]).
No, criticism is not the worse thing to face a person who is monetising a personal, scripted narrative for financial gain. It's irrelevance and total viewer disinterest in them at all.
According to wiki, its meant to be educational. I think T is a tad rubbish at educating.
A mukbang or meokbang (Korean: 먹방, pronounced [mʌk̚.p͈aŋ] (
A mukbang is usually prerecorded or streamed live through a webcast on streaming platforms such as AfreecaTV, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch. In the live version, the mukbang host chats with the audience while the audience type in real-time in the live chat room. Eating shows are expanding their influence on internet broadcasting platforms and serve as a virtual community and a venue for active communication among internet users.[2][3][4][5]
Mukbangers in Asia and North America have gained popularity on social media and made mukbang a career with high income. By cooking and consuming food on camera for a large audience, mukbangers generate income from advertising, sponsorships, endorsements, as well as viewers' support.[6] However, there has been growing criticism of mukbang's promotion of unhealthy eating habits, animal cruelty, and food waste.[7][8][9]
