Influencers are being BOUGHT by brands...(this is bad) 

Same😂

Tirtir is actually a good foundation tho

I thought it was just me. Hell, at this point what is her real face????

Do you trust the other influencer? Who do you trust? I’m curious cause i don’t believe nobody no more at this point …

@@andrealein157 I think I am at a point that if any influencer “reviews” anything, I don’t trust it. I trust Amazon reviews more than influencers 😂

And speed of these micro trends have only worsened it.

My sister and I were literally having a conversation about if your going to be materialistic it's best to just be looking for money, better than having a whole bunch of random junk

Seriously, burkin has to be the absolute waste of money.

All things aside, why isn't Laura Lee still cancelled? She's THE BIGGEST hypocrite ever

Yes it has.

Her weird fake accent alone screams liar 😂

@@Art_thecl0wnsounds like JOJO SIWA

Kim kardaSHiannnn still haunts me😂😂

And how she is still relevant boggles my mind. People are blind 🙄

Exactly!

I was just about to say that as she sits on a lifetime supply of beauty blenders lmao

tbh i'm questioning if her story is even true or if she's just making it up to seem relatable to the situation and make herself out to be the good person lol

Every damn time. I feels like she's trying to gaslight everyone all at once 😂

Right??!!!! You read my mind 😅

She wishes she got that Birkin bag lmao

Or believing those AI Facebook photos

That is such an amazing way to put it

Aren’t they just a bunch of advertisements already?

Slowly? Lol

They are literally advertisers? I mean what else do they influence you on if not what to buy or not to buy?

@@lug358they use to be a good reference for buyers so they know if a product would work on them as they use to give more information (eg. Jackie, Tati, even evil Jeffree gave good info). Now I find that cosmetic chemists have become the source for this information despite most of them not wearing makeup at all. *honourable mention: professional artists like kevikodra & hung Vanngo*

And they can’t even act

I'm glad someone said it

I feel like this is the same in almost any industry, I work at a fast food restaurant and we can't even give health inspectors a drink or it's considered bribery 😅

No seriously we need laws to set this kind of precedent for social media content

Exactly this! This is bribery pure and simple.

I have the same feeling. Giving expensive gifts to someone whose review can impact your business is just plain bribery and I don't know how people are so okay with it

They’re just so dumb lol

Ok but laura also being like "i don't think ppl should come for the influencers" Of course you dont 💅

@@someusername4129 it's like the royals fearing for their head lmao

Duhh!!!!!

Omg I wanted to leave this same comment…like girl duh?! We been done came to this conclusion 🫨

She should put a for sale tattoo on her forehead

@@coast2coast8306more like “sold”

​@coast2coast8306 😂😂😂

girl same 🤣 after a year of supportive comments too

She 100% is

Right!! So overrated

The cruelty of that company is disgusting too. You couldn’t pay me to carry one

some probably only like it cuz of the brand where its from and not the style

They were never pretty . Most cute bags I see ate quite affordable

It is entirely about status. The aesthetic is secondary.

Right. Same.

Blockout 2024

Ironic cause the First Lady in Korea got cancelled for accepting a Dior bag

Life isn't fair.

It’ll never die out. It’s so easy for big corporates to sell. So easy. Money good where it’s good. You’re just a small person. Sorry.

@@Optojagono it’s not I’m going to two funerals this week for two different friends who died in a car wreck and cancer. So no life is and never will be fair. Chin up kid.

A lot of people are struggling to afford rent, let alone luxury goods.

If people would just block these influencers it would be over for them. As long as people give them attention (positive or negative, doesn't matter) this culture will stay. I know I'm probably alone in this but these drama channels are helping them get attention too. By being here watching this and commenting we just helped them continue now that I'm thinking about it 😅

context?!?

She is mikaela's long lost sister copycat​@@bataineh

Really, the only like 'beauty content creators' I watch anymore are the Welsh twins channels.

@@silentmuse6660 oh yes that's true I do watch them lol

Of course. I would do the same. Obviously i cant say for laura lee or all influencers (i’m not even an influencer), but if the brand is upset that i dont post a gratitude video about the bag and took me off their PR list, then that says everything about the brand. I’d still review it as usual whether negative or positive. But a gift is a gift and i’m keeping the gift, especially an expensive one and the one i know i had been wishing for 😂

And if it were happening to you, you wouldn’t turn it away.

@@limitlessbiancayeah same! You wanna give me a luxury gift? I’ll take it, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be honest if your product sucks 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lol nobody is turning down a free luxury gift

If it was a thank you gift then that's fine! Keep the thank you gift just don't advertise it, they won't be getting another though - and these influencers know that now.

I think she lost touch with real world and forgot where she came from.

and the trying to be relatable with the crocodile tears and fake emotional displays. her and glamzilla are fighting for the top spot for fake crier constantly. its honestly so eye roll inducing...you aint meryl streep, sit down.

An ugly bag that costed 50 dollars max to produce btw. In Italy you can get beautiful and sturdy handmade bags of real high quality leather for 100-200 euros lmao

Take me back to pre-influencer internet 😂😭

Absolutely! 🚨🚨

Literally exactly what I’ve been thinking. Another commenter talked about how they can’t even offer a drink on the house to a health inspector at a restaurant out of politeness, because it can be interpreted as a bribe. There are laws and regulations against bribery in every industry including our supreme court. We need the government to crack down on internet advertising content.

According to the FTC Mikayla would have to pay taxes on that lil Birkenstock bag. 😉

@@Fragrances_n_Fur she can't even follow FTC guidelines for proper disclosure.

It actually looked beautiful on her, not so much on Mikayla. That was her shade.

Nobody deserves it try again.

These people are already super rich darcie said in a video that she grew up in a million dollar house so instead of giving expensive gifts to already privileged people it's way better to donate it

Its funny how u can pick and choose who u think deserves it lol none of these influencers deserve it get real hello wake up wee oo wee ooo 🚨

​@asmamalik3032 wow! I didnt know that 😮 that's annoying to know tbh 😅

for some reason i had a thought that she may have loved chanel in particular with how she was talking about in the video. i’m glad she’s happy and has her shade and purse

Right, yet they are gifted them for free.

Right? They don’t care about the ones that live paycheck to paycheck on what they should endorse 🙄 not everyone can afford expensive things if anything the Marjory of people can’t

Elf has a sunscreen that’s also a primer so maybe try that? I don’t think it feels oily but I put aloe Vera gel before so idk it it affected the feel of it, I think I look more glowy with it, and they also have options to not leave a white cast, I don’t think it’s tinted but maybe I’m blind

Buy a skin 1004 Centella sunscreen

Right! What happened to tutorials? I don't care about seventeen different lipsticks or some pallets, just teach me how to do a smoky eye, preferable with less than 10 products and keep it under 1000 dollars please

​@@ninadottir488SAY IT LOUDER!!!!!

Follow actual working makeup artists! We buy/use so many products to use in our professional kits that work and worth your money

Right? But everyone just wants to materialistic these days

the fact that Hermes was exposed by PETA for having factories where they're k!lling hundreds of alligators and crocodiles to make these so called birkins and people stilll fight over waiting lists to get these bags just to feel like they're special.

Or if they wanted to keep it in theme of make up donate to a beauty school in an underprivileged area or something and have mikayla come there and do some charity for press instead

EXACTLY! our society is doomed 🤮

This birkin doesnt cost shit on its own. So that money will probably be just enough to feed a cat once

I agree. I found myself smiling, watching Darcy opening up her bag and seeing her reaction. Mikayla ALWAYS makes me roll my eyes. I only see her content on YT clip channels. I would never follow her or go search her content.

@@jillbunny90 same here i would swipe fast whenever i see her face :-)

While it would be great if they could do both we have to remember that these """gifts""" are publicitary deals the company does with the influencers. Having a good rep about the company's relationship with its employees does not bring in a third of the money a viral video does. And in this economy where the market is extremely full of products and competition is so high, every expense HAS to be justified by how much it makes the company earn back, otherwise the company goes goodnight real quick. We could argue that because this is the norm, a company doing the opposite and giving the gifts to the employees would go viral too but how do you get the news out there? You would have to pay both the gifts for the employees and the advertisment to push the news. So these companies are actually doing what's cheaper: they're maximizing the number of people who would get to know about their products while minimizing the costs.

Next brand brand will send her a check to pay off her mortgage plus a Ferrari and a yacht!

yessssss shes so amazing! I love watching her call out shade ranges

yeah but its still bribery to send her purses. its the same as mikayla getting one and ensures that even once trustworthy influencers are corrupted by bribes. but then again, none of them are truly trustworthy anymore because everyone just wants free shit and sponsorships. its a mess.

This, even if they donated to make up schools or art programmes, somethinggg

Or to their own employees. A Birkin could cover at least one holiday bonus for an employee.

Nobody cares about the “Everyman” everything is transactional. We’re just supposed to buy their products full price (or save some money with these influencers discount codes 😉) oh, capitalism.

Not even attractive...Beauty influencer?...For Monkeys...

and the way she speaks.. nails on a chalkboard honestly..

There is

She and Monica are the only ones I’m willing to trust

Right? When I saw "Gemini Icon" on the balloon, my eyes couldn't have rolled harder. We don't claim her.

This was my first thought too😂 ain't no way she suddenly grew a moral compass so quickly😂😂😂

michelle pham asmr vibes

So true

Yes & no. It’s still sponsored, obviously, but it’s more insidious because the influencer can still claim to be “honestly reviewing this item, unpaid” when the reality is that they will lie their asses off no matter what because that’s what brings in the lavish gifts. So, no different than not disclosing sponsored posts, but still more insidious.

​@@brittneybabeee4031im not familiar with US law, but do you know if it is still illegal to not disclose their relationship with the brand even if they don't get paid directly for that review?

seconding the other comment, i think it all comes down to the honesty, and "insidious" is the perfect word to describe it- legally, paid partnerships have to be disclosed, therefore the audience (should) know about the incentive behind the review, but gifts are a bit of a grey area. a reward for good reviews while claiming they haven't been paid, making it appear more "legit" for being unsponsored even though they have reason to be positive and keep receiving things. way more manipulative imo than a disclosed partnership
