Sorry I know I'm partial to a paragraph or two and no one cares but here goes:
I just find this whole 'tattlers have no life' assertion absolutely hilarious coming from influencers. These are people who walk around all day long talking at an inanimate object about the most stupid, unimportant, boring, vapid drivel - like the current condition of their nail polish or that they're washing their hair tonight. The same individuals that are taken to the most beautiful locations in the world and spend the entire time ignoring each other with their heads hunched over their phones. Lydia Millen stated that she had spent 48 hours, the equivalent of TWO ENTIRE DAYS on her phone in one week! And I have no life!? And all of this time on social media but every arselicking comment and heartfelt dm goes ignored and unanswered, yet our discussion as a small minority has sent Imogen into a meltdown, the topic of video after video, we have all her attention! duck the thousands of people reaching out to her, trying to build her up, she literally does not give a duck.
And the same goes for her huns. It's always "You have no life! Why do you spend your time doing this! Why do you care so much?" The question is, why do YOU? Someone you don't know and have never met has managed to whip you up into a frenzy, why are you spending your time taking up arms for her, do you have a life? It's two sides of the same coin. They need to realise that Imogen does not care about them and never will, they may be watching her but she cannot see them (literally) as anything but a number, an amount of likes or comments on her content.
There's nothing wrong with genuinely liking a YouTuber, but you need to have a degree of separation from these people and a critical eye because whether you like it or not their job is to make money off you - in the literal sense through product sales, but also by keeping you engaged and seeing them in a favourable light - this gives them a vested interest in lying to you and for that reason they cannot be trusted and are not your friends.
