But I've had some favorite channels that didn't have a huge following and as their channel grew and grew, they became more fake and materialistic to me. I could see how I could like someone like BBL back in the day...I love target, decorating, being a mom, etc. BUT now, nothing is genuine about it to me. It's all very forced (like the "I just wanted to hop on here real quick to tell you that I'm having a baby in case you forgot. I'm sitting in my nursery that I spent $1000s decorating because, did I mention that I'm having a baby? Oh and since you asked, here is some children's medicine that the company asked me to talk about. I mean here's a product I love and use all the time. I love them because it gives me money to buy more starbucks. I mean, I love them because they're 100% organic. I love them so much. Swipe up for 15% off your first order because the mortgage payment is due on the 1st. Did I mention I'm having a baby?"
Bonnie Hoellein is a classic example of that. She was one of the few vloggers I could tolerate. My daughter is the big YT watcher in my house. But I enjoyed watching her. And the richer she got, and the more people telling her how they looked up to her SO much as a mom, the more she changed. And now the "mom" vlogger has a nanny! And I'm sorry, with all her kids in school, she can't possibly be so busy that she needs a nanny. Especially since she doesn't even edit vlogs anymore.
It's just strange to me. Lots of moms like Target and Starbucks and being a mom. What makes these ones so special? The relentless self-marketing?
And I have to say, there's something really wrong with the state of things, when people risking their health to keep grocery stores and pharmacies open during the pandemic barely make a living wage, but these people just do a few swipe-ups, and make an obscene amount of money.
Rant over.
