Hi to everyone feeding snippets from this forum to Sali! Could you please share this one with her, verbatim?

That’s interesting @Jelly Bean . I would definitely be hesitant to talk about something in such damning terms if I hadn’t seen it before. Does she say she hasn’t seen it herself so she can explain why she lied in the video?? But then why make a video about something you’re not totally sure of.

I’m very sorry for anyone who suffers crippling anxiety. An interesting piece of research might be whether or not spending X amount of hours on Instagram/sharing X personal details/relying on Instagram for money or a sense of self can play into higher levels of anxiety.

There is a question of personal responsibility when you choose your career. Some people are very robust and don’t care what people say about them. Others focus in on the negatives and can’t move past them.

if someone of the latter disposition does something immoral/gains from being deceptive/is a ruthless salesperson masquerading as a friend then what should the rest of us do? Stay quiet so they can continue without having hurt feelings seems to be the influencer stance.

That’s ok, but then up pops another person who is highly anxious due to the unrealistic goals set for their image by influencer culture. The message is that person doesn’t matter.

From my perspective that’s all wrong - I believe in a utilitarian sort of outlook. If the career you choose is damaging to a lot of people the smallest thing you can do to compensate is listen to the damage and see if some can be repaired. It is reprehensible to me that a person could steam through life being a bully and a manipulator and then cry damages at the response. I didn’t go looking for SH. She looked for my readership and follow and support, which I did for years and years.

But it seems that tracking is only welcome if you LOVE the content and agree with it or simply walk away. That’s not how most people work. Most people develop relationships with the culture and react. It’s healthy and it creates new forms of culture and art and community. To try to stunt that natural process for your own gain is supremely nasty and self important. But it’s also foolish.

unfortunately I think the reason the MOD story was so big is because everyone knows the influencer bubble is bursting. Maybe sali thinks there is enough demand for fluff pieces but if I were her I would be honing my serious journalism skills with the assumption that appetite for tat has waned irreversibly. And that would mean reading something before you publicly and strongly attempt to discredit it. Trying to shut something down without ever having seen it is very questionable behaviour.

Is anyone a whizz on socialblade and can tell us what the huge spike in Instagram followers in September could be down to? :unsure:

ETA the flat line is within +/- 100 (eg some days -16, some +65). The one-off spike is +11,000.

And in other news Estee Laundry has been named influencer of the year by refinery29. Not bad for what SH casually dismissed as a gossip channel when asked about Estee Laundry’s revealing of horrific treatment of employees at Charlotte Tilbury by Charlotte Tilbury and her family members.

The spike was due to Freaky Friday.
 
What inhabited those lovely thick files if not printouts of the forum threads then? I think that’s what she said in the FF vid. But, as she says, obviously unread.

BTW skidders, I’ve been following fairly quietly since it all kicked off and I need to say a big thank you. Due to the various recs on this forum (Pixi pads, retinoids etc) I’m currently experiencing my best ever skin - and far less expensive than when I bought the Dr Dennis Gross beef wipes recommended by SH. Happy shitmouth here.
 
I honestly can’t bear this idea that of you don’t fully agree with me you’re a troll with mental health issues. This is where we’ve got to with insta influencers. When someone demands this level of fawning they’re not on the level, they’re manipulative and needy and need someone to tell them the truth.
 
We've had prople cslling us trolls, scum, lowest if low, married incels, skidmarks, bin people etc.
I suppose the reply would be "yes, but you're anonymous". Well you didn't say anything about the people slagging us off had to know our names or faces did you brainbox?

SH also agreed with B Black that posters not necessarily mentally ill. In the interests of fairness. We are nothing if not balanced here 💅

Re thread title, I'm in a retro kinda mood so would like to suggest an oldie but goodie. My preference would be "Also stop talking about someone you don't know you TRAGIC F****s" a la IK
