Exhausted from reading a book..
Why does every influencer think they’re either a High Sensitive Person or an empath??!!
And she’s got a husband... how?
Her husband looks like a unhealthy, unwashed slob like she does too. They definitely both enable each other to sit around all day eating junk and watching TV. When Vix was a teacher she seemed so much healthier. I get that it’s a really exhausting job but the structure to her days and regular income probably did wonders for her mental health.
absolutely howling at the fact that she sat and made this hideous bleeping graph about "trolling"
I hate this attitude because people talk about people behind each other's backs all the time. I don't think it's nice to tear into someone specifically when it's about their appearance. But a lot of the time people don't feel comfortably publicly criticising someone on their social account because of the backlash. These people have thousands upon thousands of followers we have no problem with dragging someone for making a gentle criticism of that person. It's so easy for influencers to just ignore these people and call them trolls even when they have fair points. Telling people they shouldn't criticise others on a forum like this is ridiculous.
Ok, Vix...
First of all, “creators” do not have a normal work process like 90% of jobs do. You don’t have a clear feedback process, or a way of setting goals and being held accountable to them by anyone but yourself. Most people at work get feedback at some point which is less than great; they get pulled up on mistakes and are often told to apologise and find ways to rectify it; they have regular appraisals and are actively given areas to work on to improve their performance.
Creators/influencers have NONE of that. Management doesn’t give enough of a tit to help you work on your content without you explicitly asking, and even then, they’re only in it for the money. They will only help you be more profitable in the easiest sense.
Now, many freelancers, small business owners and similar don’t have management holding them to account, but they do have customers and clients, and their feedback. This is similar to creators, but most make a huge mistake in only taking feedback from brands onboard. Creators should 100% be listening to their audiences, because ultimately they have the power to improve or ruin your reach, your influence, your importance. They are actually the key to better brand deals.
So in the diagram, the “challenger” Vix refers to is most likely a follower with a valid point. Admittedly, it’s probably more personal criticism than you’d get in an office job, but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. It’s your choice to share your life as a way of making a living, and there will always be downsides to any career choice. Own it.
As a creator, if you continually ignore, disengage and block your “challengers”, you are doing your own work a disservice. Of course, there will be bad apples who are just spewing hate, and some who will start with a valid point but end up waffling nasty things, but it is part of your job to seek out the valid criticism and helpful comments, just as it is a normal person’s imperative to receive feedback at work and improve upon it if they want to advance up the chain and make more money.
Look at celebrities who recognise the public dislike them and then try to change their behaviour and image - Anne Hathaway comes to mind. She knew that she needs to be more “bankable” to make the most of her career, because it’s not just about talent, it’s about likeability too. She recognised the public disliked how she came across, and she toned it down! And honestly, I feel far more sorry for someone like her having to tone her behaviour down, because she actually has a talent; she didn’t sign up to show us her personal life in the same way a creator or influencer does.
Anyway, back to Vix’s diagram. By ignoring and disengaging on your own platforms as a creator, you force “challengers” to seek forums or other social media to air their views.
Forums are inherently nastier and more intensely critical, for a few different reasons. Firstly, because we’re not saying it directly to you, there is less need for politeness. Secondly, because there is a herd mentality, and therefore edgier or nastier comments can seem normal after a while. But most importantly, “challengers” congregate in forums because the average creator deletes every comment, whether fair or not, and because those who end up here are often former supporters who got entirely fed up of engaging with your content and finding it half-arsed, hypocritical, problematic, unclear, unethical or whatever else, attempting to voice that, and being deleted/blocked/shouted down/having rabid fans set upon you/repeatedly ignored.
You didn’t listen to their feedback. You had a fan, a follower, a potential paying customer in the palm of your hand, and you did nothing to retain them. It is a failing on the part of the creator, who holds the power, not the challenger.
So-called “challengers” can be a gift, if you let them. But you’re all too far up your own arses, and too far removed from the reality of work, to understand that.
You absolutely had the chance to defend yourself, Vix. You had many chances. Instead, like most other creators, you refused to engage or consider a point of view different from your own, and thus, a follower went from devoted to disgruntled.

Charlotte Ruffs comment is spot on too on that post. Most people on this forum have been a ‘fan’ of these creators before they ended up here. There are few, if any, that allow any sort of different view point on their feed, but then expect their followers to support them with brand partnerships etc.
I feel like Vix can’t have a proper discussion, she just agrees with everything anyone puts even if it’s completely different to her original point
I completely agree with the recent comments. I've followed Vix for the past 6 months and whilst at first I thought she was being helpful, I don't actually think her stories are adding "value" when she moans about life. Yesterday she complains about being tired and goes bed at like 7pm and today she also talks about having low energy. She's one of the most negative people on IG -I'm not going to feel sorry for someone who doesn't want to take care of themselves or behave like an adult. It seems like everyday she bangs on about how tired/unwell/lazy she is feeling - do something about it. I'd have more respect for her as a creator if she said " I've seen a few people complain about my attitude in my stories", in order to address these "I accept that I have health issues and I need to see a nutritionist or do some tests with my GP or stop drinking 5000 cans of diet coke a day".

Maybe it's just those bleeping rings cutting off her circulation. 
Charming!
I just can’t understand this girl, why on earth would anyone post that?!edit: oops I didn’t see there was another page of new posts before I replied! Just reading them now too and what a cretin she is, Jesus wept! Those posts make me dislike her even more, who the hell does she think she is? and that dumbass process graph, give me strength

Truth is there are loads of content creators who people like (self included) and don’t discuss on forums. Stop being a problematic twit and people will stop having things to snicker about on a gossip forum
And stop reading here! We don’t want you to!! The fact that so many bloggers in the UK kiss this slobby gross lady’s bum is so odd to me. I’d be embarrassed to support her.
Ahah so she does. She looks god-awful. Did she think this through...
She needs to shave it all off and start again! That hair has been abused the last few months...
