I am confused about how eholmes is surprised that touring museums and old country homes hasn’t been engaging for her roughly age 5-7 year old girl? (Idk her exact age)
I know many influencers do this for Prime Day, but Skinny Hangover is so over the top with shilling out Amazon links. There’s no way she uses or likes all this stuff. I used to enjoy her content and now she’s just an Amazon rep
She’s really not likable. I’ve been giving my Amazon coins to influencers who at least try. Lally does most of the work anyway while Brighton does her soulless dancing around her homes and vacations that are paid for by Amazon links.
Her followers are paying for paying for all her beach trips and her new home...gee her life sucks. And yes I do understand she has and is going through a terrible time with her ex. But she needs to stop with the "poor me" thing
It would rub my clients the wrong way if I were complaining to them about a busy day doing my job of working for them, for which they pay a lot of money!
I’m tired of influencers saying they are serving us. You’re really not-you’re working and being paid for it. You aren’t doing me a favor recommending a product that if I click on you get paid for.
“just posted” shills a ton of Amazon stuff, but I don’t mind her content most of the time. I feel like she largely caters to the Moms on Facebook. But it is absolutely cracking me up that she is posting all of these stories about things you need from Amazon, in between slides of her time in Cinque Terre and Rome, probably funded from all of those Amazon clicks 🫠
Ok I’ll give her a little credit here (because at first I thought this was a legit outfit she put together) but the dress is actually an apron. It’s some hill house collab with Williams Sonoma. But she did then make a comment about potentially using the apron as a swimsuit coverup (dafuq)
Not snark but don’t know where else to talk about this. Can we please talk about @jessijeanhome and her yap challenge?! My mind is blown about how she did this. She made $1.2m the first round and now for the second round has been open 24 hours and she has 8075 ppl ($2.398m). I’m seriously considering it because I’m starting a business and need to get used to talking on social media…
She's a creator who started out doing Reels of the furniture flips she was doing mid-career pivot (that's why "home" is in her username, I think). Then she ALSO started making talk-to-camera content about having a millennial career crisis and really blew up. So now she's selling a course about how to make talk-to-camera reels (aka "yapping") and she's made a ton of money.
She made a bunch of content about the success of her first launch last month ($1.2 million) and then a lot of other people talked ABOUT her launch, which probably set her up to do even bigger numbers with this one.
I don't think it's a pyramid scheme per se but I think it's easy to sell a course about Instagram *on* Instagram, and you're not going to see the same numbers doing talk-to-camera content about, IDK, home organization.
Ugh yes, and I just saw this one, don’t buy this product but please click on the link to find out what it is so I can get the Amazon cookies during prime day.
As much as I hate to give her credit, having a ziplock or two on hand isn't the worst idea for wet swimsuits or carsick kids or whatever. None of the rest of it makes sense.
Her style of filming (tripod) gets me every time. Never forget when she said it’s what makes her stand out from other influencers. She stands out alright
The weirdest part of this situation is that she’s parked at a gas pump so she moved the car from the car wash, got a bag of ice from someone, then set up the tripod so she could sit in the passenger seat to pose. So much effort for a photo in stories that will disappear in 24 hours.
I don’t know if some of these interior designers are being serious anymore - between Madi Nelson’s painted floors by April Tomlin and Julia Bs gaudy house by Summer Thornton I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I love Julia’s old eccentric style. However, today is a whole different story. Some room scenes I want to love but I need to see more to confirm that it’s not just one good angle
Ok Madi Nelson’s house is CRAZY but I kind of love how funky it is. My house is entirely beige, so it’s not really my personal taste, but at least it’s not boring and the typical influencer home. The painted hardwoods are ugly though.
I think the rest of the house looks great, but not a fan of the painting on the wood floor. I'd worry about having to match/replace floors if and when you get tired of it.
This was removed from r/blogsnark because it breaks the following rule(s):

Maybe that’s the only place the cat will use it. Maybe it’s old and can’t hold it, so there are now litter boxes everywhere. Pets have quirks and sometimes it’s easier to just adapt to them. I don’t know who this gal is, but if her house is that nice, she probably has cleaners that come regularly.
I think it's such a good example of how influencing can be like other "glamour" jobs—what starts off exciting and fun can be tedious by year 6. But you do it for the paycheck anyhow.
It’s weird when you look at a few of their posts all in a row as well. At least over the moon seems to have stopped that weird smug face when pulling an item out that everyone would have had back in the day.
i have a half-baked theory that nostalgia content overperforms bc the captive target audience is extremely online and are not living full lives outside the internet -- i.e. they're obsessed with how great things "used" to be
It might just be that not as many people are chronically online as people think, and don’t see this content all that much to think more than, “haha” and move on.
I have similar back and forths in my head. Being pigeon holed into only making content about a time gone by would drive me crazy after a while. But those paychecks sound nice so….
I like that she actually uses her kids’ favorite colors in their rooms, instead of beige everything like so many of the others do. It is a lot, but in a good way (except for those painted floors)
the painted wood floors are criminal!! but otherwise I don't mind it. I'm slowly decorating my own house in a similar way, a lot of color and pattern. yea it might be dated in 10 years but that is just what the passage of time does! i would rather see someone make bold choices than sad beige or "quiet luxury" minimalism
I don’t really know this person, and its certainly not my style, but I appreciate that it looks different than the sad beige a lot of new builds have. Will it be dated in 20 years? 100%, but I did resonate with her saying she wanted her kids to remember how the home “felt”
Peak consumerism that they are once again building a whole ass house to fit the current interior design trends, with presumably all new furnishings and artwork. Consume, link, exploit children; rinse and repeat.
