The missus was telling me about this last night. Supposedly they've uncovered the person who it is and it's some mentalist bogger woman now claiming it's not her and has gone to the papers etc. Supposedly she'd received death threats about it all. Seems a bit mad. According to the missus this bogger wan has been a "professional troll" as she describes herself, for the past 10years.

Not really in to the whole antisocial media thing myself (unless you count YBIG and Whatsapp) but I just cannot fathom how anybody follows these so called 'Influencers'.

I had the misfortune to be in the company of Pippa O'Connor for a meal a few years back and when the conversation at the table wasn't involving, or about, her, she had her face stuck in her phone or she would be taking selfies of herself and her dopey fella.

ah okay. That’s the only hair extension one I’m aware of and I was delighted to see her caught out!

The seatbelt thing and snapping while driving is probably the best thing to come out of it. Brain dead people!!

I think it’s the beginning of the end for social influencers in Ireland now though. The companies are dropping them life flies now as no one trusts their reviews once they know they’re paid posts.

The fitfam page is a bit much, I agree with you on that! 

Nope, different girl!

Least it's bringing some knowledge about what goes on, the seatbelt thing in particular and taking videos while driving badly needed to be called out.

Some of it's also not true, a girl I know got done by them but the allegations were 100% false. No convincing the page, unfollowed them then.



What was the general jist of the story 🤔 

Some of it may be untrue but some of the stuff that’s come out is outrageous!!



That she had gotten hair extensions from a salon when she hadn't.

Some of it is alright, she's gotten a bit vicious for my liking though, just bullying people now. The other one, fitfam failures, has started picking on kids as well which ain't too sound.

If I was younger when I started there Lassie, I might have been able to stomach it but I'm a bit too grizzled for that happy clappy sh1te. If you want me to sell the gear then simply give me the tools and tell me how much you want me to shift. Don't saddle me with a load of intangible social media based company promotion bollox forcing me to pretend that I'm loving every aspect of this poxy job.

I know a lad who would be considered an "influencer" and he occasionally goes to these product launches/ nightclub openings etc. He says it is the saddest thing in the world. A load of people standing around staring at their phones and not interacting with anyone else in any way. Then some PR chump will come over to them and hand them the product and the influencer will stick their phone on selfie video mode and come to life pretending that they are dancing around and having a mad time altogether for the benefit of their followers. Then after about a minute of that, they end the live feed or the video recording and go back to just standing around by themselves until it's time to go home. 

Another annoying trend occurs in the tech world. I used to work for a large US multinational online business. They used to heavily "encourage" staff to post videos on LinkedIn and other platforms outlining what an amazing time they are having in the office. This was an actual stat on my performance review as strange as that sounds. I was in a commercial role and my sales number only counted for 1/3 of my performance. The other two thirds were made up of how you contributed to overall company success and the various teams around you. It translated into having to behave like a member of Jim Jones' gang regarding the company in order to put yourself in the frame for any promotions. Similar to the above example, people would be jumping on a mini scooter and filming themselves going around the office woohooing and giving it a bit of "YEEEAAHHHH, LET'S GO UKI BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MAJOR ACCOUNT GROWTH TEAM!!! LET'S PARTY!!! WOOOOOOOOO" before sitting back down at their desk and making some cold calls to disinterested and sometimes actively hostile prospects. 

 


Sounds like my dream job
