Following.
Has she still not announced the winner of the diaper bag give away? This is going to be like her giving back campaign all over again. Just ignore it and maybe people will stop asking.

Guess she decided to keep it or sell it at a profit! Those things cost like $250 and she’s due for lip injections.

The Lindquists | Part 2

Unread post by TeachIT »

No time for a full on review, but out of curiosity (and being pregnant myself) I watched her Snoo review video.

Should be called, “Snoo: a gifted, scripted infomercial” because I’m 99% sure she was gifted this from the company. She wouldn’t need to claim it as an ad, since they don’t pay her, but the way it was packaged as well as the way she clearly kisses ass tells me it was a gift.

Basically the whole thing sounds like she’s reading the description off the box. Or a terrible script she wrote. The video is not natural, intimate, personal, or even human. She’s reading a scripted story about Snoo.

She loves it of course. Aesthetic. Blah blah.

Validates the cost by saying it’s cheaper than hiring help overnight. No shit. It’s a crib, not a human. Really sticks to the narrative that “100 years ago we had more help than we do now, so we need this”

Blankette didn’t sleep well on it, they made some adjustments and now her newborn sleeps in 6 hour stretches that she’s super proud of. All thanks to the Snoo.

Elle wears more overalls. Looks like a busted can of beige biscuits.

Lighting and sound quality are terrible, as well as editing. The lighting changes every few words which makes me think she took 30+ min of video and hacked it down to this almost 15 min video. Btw her actual review doesn’t start until minute 9, and there are 2+ min montage of her unpacking and assembling it. Yawn.

I don’t understand how her video and sound quality can be so poor when she invests in such high end equipment? Unless she just doesn’t know how to use it or how to edit?

She can't be bothered to do any training on the equipment nor editing software and techniques. And that sums up the reason her channel is failing: she can't be bothered to invest time in areas that matter.

Cheaper than hiring help overnight.

This is the most privileged white girl shit I have ever heard IN MY LIFE. Who the fuck is she relating to when she says shit like this? It is SUCH an alienating statement that applies to only a very very small group of people. I would even go so far as to say that Elle herself isn’t even a part of this small group she is trying to appeal to. She’s a fucking poser, especially if the Snoo was gifted to her. You believe in the product? Then I want to know if you believed in it enough to spend your OWN hard-earned money on it.

So this, to me, is the root of Elle’s failure.

Honestly, YouTube has become a platform for MOSTLY teens. Am I over 30 and watching? Yeah. Occasionally. Does my 30+ husband watch woodworking/landscaping videos from time to time? Yep. But our 15 year old nieces watch HOURS every day. They plan around when their fav YTers are posting new vids, so they can watch instantly. They watch family vloggers like Jessfam (a previously teen mom - so relatable I guess?). The watch YT when eating, doing their makeup, doing HW, constantly. They are the primary consumers.

The majority of regular, consistent views are coming from teens.

Elle is hardly relatable to moms in their 20-30-40s (because we aren’t all as affluent as her Image) and is especially not relatable to teens. Moreover, she doesn’t offer anything exciting or sensational for teens (she’s not crazy stupid rich, she doesn’t have crazy clickbait life, she doesn’t have a scary number of kids, she hasn’t lost a child through terrible tragedy, etc). So while she may get a menial amount of views from moms/women like us here in the forum + her crazy obsessed fans ... she will never “blow up” and reach real YT fame.

Even her viral video was only viral because it was a single sensational moment in her life. Even teens will watch that. Overall, her life ISNT exciting, she isn’t a specialist or expert in any area to share/teach.

She is a privileged, boring, old (to most of YT), white girl. She’s basic and comes across as desperate (for attention, validation, & $$)


!! That doesn’t mean that older, “real” moms can’t have a successful social media career. But she has to be genuine and stop trying to play to the YT algorithm - it isn’t meant for her! — and accept that she can have a smaller, successful channel/brand.

I totally agree. She needs to pick a lane and drive it until she runs out of road.

Yesterday I was packing a lunch for my kid and thought I should ramp up the creativity a bit. Where would I go for information and inspiration. I don’t want Pinterest-perfect Instagram-worthy lunches. I want to see a realistic week or month in school lunches and also see what the kids actually ate. YouTube would be a great avenue for this.

Why isn’t Elle doing this type of content? These are the things she needs to be doing in order to appeal to her own demographic. Cleaning videos and reviews of products 99.9% of her viewers have no need for/cannot afford/would never purchase is valuable to almost nobody. Showing more of her dog is valuable to nobody. Give us actual original content.

A week of freezer meals
Tried and true instant pot meals
School lunches
Realistic back to school wardrobe
How to build a weekly schedule for the SAHM with planned activities

Last year and the year before, she was doing summer bucket lists and winter bucket lists. They’d write down a whole bunch of different activities and do them all throughout the summer. Amazing idea. She needs more valuable shit that people can realistically apply to their daily lives without clicking a goddamn affiliate link.

Watching someone clean doesn’t empower me at all. Rocking a week of school lunches - and on budget? Just call me Wonder Woman.

You’re welcome for the ideas, Elle! I hope you use them!

Well shoot, if that Snoo actually works the way Elle claims it does, it would be worth it to me. My little one is three weeks younger than Brighton and I don't have any extra help at night..it's just me. But it looks kind of difficult to extract the baby if they do wake up in the middle of the night. Has anyone here actually tried it?

She posted the diaper bag winner in her Instastories and told the winner to e-mail her. So if the winner doesn't happen to see the Instastory, then what happens?

Why is she giving her review of the SNOO after only a few weeks of use. Shouldn’t she have waited until six months, after she had transitioned Blanket out of that straight jacket, to give her full opinion on the huge investment.

And there was no mention of #ad #sponsored on her Instagram post or YouTube! I think she actually paid for that thing.

Anyone want to be my hero and reply to this comment on Instagram, I don’t want to use my personal account. It’s on the Breyers post she did where she’s sitting outside looking like a yak eating ice cream.

She totally dissed Dairy Farmers of Ontario in her assumptions video so how can she support an ice cream product which is in fact made with cows milk (moron Elle can’t figure this out) and with Canadian milk.

Dairy Farmers of Canada and Breyers need to be tagged in that comment and be informed of Elle’s milk bashing.
