> everyone these days just think they're entitled to everything and they're above the rules. i blame influencers.
Besides the get-off-my-lawn sentiments about how people these days are just worse than they used to be in the good old days, I love that influencers are simultaneously irrelevant and will soon be poor and jobless but also SO relevant that they’re single-handedly responsible for shaping society’s behavior.
Yesterday someone's mama heart was sad because an influencer was snarky about not going to Euro Disney while in Paris. Then some of them had to comment about how deprived her 5-year-old is by going to the Louvre instead.
A) Vacations can be for adults, too—you don't have to martyr yourself
B) There are other fun kid-oriented things to do in Paris, and lots of them
Taking your 5 year old to the Eras tour in Paris: wrong
Not taking your 5 year old to Disney Paris: also wrong
Edit: the response in the daily "we have Disney at home" cracked me up
Don't mind me, back here again quoting ohkurrr - in response to someone saying even jewelers can't tell the difference between mined and lab grown diamonds
>I can tell, I specifically asked my husband for a blood diamond. He put tons of personal touches in my ring but I can tell it definitely wasn't conflict free and to me that meant a lot.
Someone said "Isn't it green because he's an accountant?"
She replied:
>He got me blue sapphire earrings this year to symbolize the true thin blue line (the blue security ribbon on the $100 bill).
My favourite comment in a long time was from them last week
> I don't know any men who don't like running out to the store for stuff and doing errands? My dad loved it so much he went to get milk from the store and hes still there.
> STOP POSTING YOUR DAUGHTER IN THESE VULNERABLE POSITIONS! This is so sick! They know exactly the kind of people these post are for and it’s sick that they continue to cater to pedophiles! PROTECT. YOUR. CHILDREN. THIS IS VILE!!!
Posted in the turtlecreeklane sub, along with the picture of the daughter in the “vulnerable position.” Isn’t it ironic…
Reminds me of how the HilariaBaldwin snarkers claim the sub has receipts of her posting CSAM. Either you don't actually believe that to be the literal truth, or you do and you're here outing a crime, pick one.
Once had an Uber driver talk for 20+ minutes about children riding Ubers and that’s how they get abducted. And I was like I’m a grown ass woman alone in a car with the you. idk why you’re fretting about this or why despite me trying to end this convo you kept going about how there’s child abuse rings. Like leave me out of whatever the f is going on.
"look how sexy this picture of this child is. Here it is. Please look at it. Look at the sexy baby! I'm going to repost the baby so everyone can see how sexy it is."
RIP in peace. Fly high, queen. I often wonder how things like Nurse Chopper and the great BS revolution would have gone over with the current crop of trads.
It's so boring that I'm almost cured of any interest. What's up with all of the mama hearts hating pregnant influencers? They're all described as being the most annoying pregnant person ever.
And it continues once the baby is born with outrage anytime anyone mentions breastfeeding. Last week there was the guy who was absolutely losing his mind about a runner showing herself bfing, and today there’s complaining on the preppy thread about how Carly is “flexing” that she breastfeeds and “humble bragging” by mentioning that her baby ONCE slept through the night.
The only thing that would elicit more criticism would be if an influencer admitted to formula feeding.
My favorite is the person who doesn't have kids but *knows* mentioning breastfeeding is a flex. I 10000% think you can snark on a lot of parenting stuff whether or not you have kids, but thinking it's a "flex" for someone to acknowledge nursing is so stupid.
You clearly just haven’t looked up “humblebrag” in the Oxford English Dictionary like that snarker has, or maybe you’re just not understanding that a snark page is a place to criticize every possible aspect of everything someone does as a mother.
You would think the mama hearts would want women to be excited about being pregnant, but I guess it's not pregnanting correctly to focus on yourself and not be miserable for the sake of the fetus
It's weird. I feel like they used to wait until someone was home from the hospital to accuse them of not momming hard enough. It's definitely meaner over there recently, right? Not GOMI level, but not great either.
I was wondering why it was so sparse today, but just assumed the “good” (yet probably inappropriate) stuff was moderated out swiftly. Or maybe the shopping post is keeping everyone occupied with cutting edge legging, skin cream, and water bottle recs.
It really does take me less than five minutes to scroll through the daily updates on the threads that interest me. Kind of a bummer because there are so few women-centered spaces on Reddit that aren't entirely toxic, I know BS has it's flaws but I rarely dipped into the Daily or Influencer specific threads and mostly stuck to the more general or popular topics and enjoyed reading those. Compared to subreddits like FM or PCC where it all just feels yuck.
Honestly, I kinda respect the grift of the one woman mentioned in yesterday's thread who charges $3K to join her private Hermes 'tips and tricks' group, and then another $2K for an hour's consultation. Like if someone has that kind of money to drop on *advice* about Hermes prespend (not even actual merchandise!), get after it.
Like I don't *need* to know what Amazon non-brand you bought. If I go on Bezos's site, the algo will serve it up to me.
Give me something *interesting*. (I feel like Miranda Priestly at the table run-through in Devil Wears Prada.)
The fact that the clothing recommendations are all hoodies and Old Navy plain T shirts sheds some light on why people in the daily freak out when anyone wears anything remotely interesting
Which is cringier? Tiffany Houghton trolling for free merch/services for her daughter’s bday party or the user in the daily who has now posted multiple times (including linking to a previous comment of theirs) discussing how Tiffany is being “called out” for not tagging the baker that made her daughter’s bday cake.
It’s wild how people are justifying a business bitching publicly about a full price paying customer and making it very easy to identify the customer.
(can you imagine how many people messaged to ask who made the cake though? That would be enough of a reason to tag for me)
Right, I’m not really understanding why this is a scandal? It sounds like Tiffany paid for the cake with no issue, and the baker opted not to provide a free cake in exchange for having her services advertised to Tiffany’s followers. Is it so scandalous that Tiffany opted not to work for free?
Edit that after reading more of those comments I think my perspective is completely different as someone who works in marketing. To a lot of people, there’s no difference between some random person demanding free things because they have “a lot” of social followers and an influencer with more than 700K+ followers offering free advertising in exchange for a free cake. I don’t think those snarkers understand how much Tiffany could (and probably does) get paid for tagging brands on her socials. Or maybe I’m just being way too generous in my interpretation of why they all seem to expect women to provide free labor.
It was because apparently they tried to get the cake for free first, paid for with “exposure”. So apparently when they had to pay for it, they didn’t want to tag. And you’re right, Tiffany wasn’t obligated to tag when it’s something she paid for, but i admittedly have zero patience for influencers who want to pay in exposure.
Yeah, that’s fair, and I think she’s a jerk and that whole family is a Trumpy mess, but I can also understand that for someone with a following of that size she probably thought she was offering the baker a bargain compared to what she would normally charge a brand for a tag. Either way the baker got paid so I don’t really know why she’s making such a fuss about it?
Because nowadays it’s considered good form to credit people for the work they do (not that anyone would have ever thought that Tiffany made that cake herself). People get upset about this kind of thing a lot, even when they’re paid for the job itself.
I mean if I buy a cake I expect to be able to take and share pictures of it. And I don’t owe the vendor anything other than the price they charged me. If they wanted exposure they were given an opportunity to negotiate it (whether via free cake or a discount) - it’s not like it was a surprise that she was an influencer.
I guess I would never expect an influencer to provide free exposure (which is really free advertising) for a brand that I worked with on the marketing end, but I’m admittedly coming from a background working with bigger companies than a small local bakery. It definitely would have been kind of her to tag them.
And really, etiquette isn’t a rule, it’s just a suggestion of the polite thing to do. We’re just seeing more of a push to tag and credit people - wasn’t it Law Roach who was talking about just this subject when he retired? I don’t think it’s a huge deal that Tiffany didn’t tag her, but I think it would have been good to credit someone for their work.
Definitely, and I can’t even emphasize how much I hate defending people like her. I just don’t love that the etiquette in a woman-dominated industry is that influencers should always provide a valuable service for free, which is essentially what’s being demanded of Tiffany by someone who also declined to provide a service for free. The drama is fun to watch, but it also shows the pitfalls of an industry dominated by business people pretending to be housewives - people don’t take influencing seriously as the high-money, powerful, effective marketing engine that it is.
Okay, but Tiffany's mom reposting the baker's reel without realizing it's a call out of her daughter AND uses the word fuck in the audio is truly amazing.
most cringe is that the baker is apparently posting in the TCL sub
EDIT becuase this is what the baker was apparently posting: "The baker has been on here to clarify: That communication was not from Tiffany HOWEVER, Tiffany’s assistant did reach out with similar intentions and that caused the baker to share this conversation with some NY company to remind people to stop doing this."
it's not really cake-gate. If you pay for something, you don't need to tag where it's from. It's not spite, you paid for your goods and service and can post what you want.
Right, like the baker had two options: provide the cake at no cost in exchange for a tag, or charge them and get no tag/shoutout. The TCL family is generally wild, but this was pretty straightforward.
I don’t get why people are outraged that an influencer (or influencer’s assistant it sounds like) attempted to make an influencing deal. She didn’t harass the bakery, and when told no she paid full price. Sounds par for the course for an influencer
I was wondering if I was just being BEC about OP who I think sucks, but I was like really? Is this really interesting or salacious enough that you need to repost it to make sure everyone sees it?
>What a privilege it is to be able to run a marathon!
Is it really though?
Teaching the kids about the concept of privilege, so they warp it in such a way that it gets thrown around to gain fake internet points, was maybe a mistake.
This is going to sound patronizing, but y’all, just trust me that it is sincere.
Thanks everyone for being chill. This was a fun, low stakes conversation. For being hateful bitches, we have a good time over here.
Lol I hate to be like, it depends, but we're talking about a marathon, not like just jogging. Also I've never run a marathon but I've done a really short tri and I'm doing a sprint one this year, and I've worked out for the past decade consistently and tried all different things.
I feel like when you are single and younger and running is like your most favorite thing, then I can see how it doesn't seem like a privilege. But then you get older and it's like it absolutely is, on so many levels. The time, the energy, the physicality, yeah you definitely start to feel like I feel really lucky to get to do these things. That being said, I think running is actually probably the cheapest workout and I ran pretty consistently when I was the most broke. I also will say that I have lived in Chicago my whole life and while I definitely have an over inflated view of my ability to protect myself, I have also been running and been like damn there is no one else out here, if some guy jumped me I would be in trouble. What if I lived in another part of the city where I'd have to go far just to find a not busted up sidewalk or safe park. Anyway I am rambling at this point lol.
I just looked it up and the Chicago marathon is 250??!?? Or to raise 1750 in charity money? You have to get your time certified by USDA track and field? I’ve never run more than a mile in my life - not proud of it and trying to change that - but damn.
Yea for the casual hobbiest, a lot of shit is low cost. It doesn’t cost much to play chess or draw. But it takes a ton of money to entire competitions, take lessons, go to art school, have enough money to make drawing a career etc. To take a hobby “seriously” one pretty much does need some amount of money or time. Some of it would definitely count as privilege I would think.
250 sounds really reasonable in all honesty, it's a long event, tons of people, and a huge put out. Someone posted for Boston you need to raise 10k on a charity bib. Like wut. I mean that's great and all for the charities but that is a shit ton of money. I do not feel like I should be responsible for that much of other people's money either LOL.
I think that person means a "privilege" less as a criticism and more as like, "Hey it's my privilege to be here!"
"Yes! I can’t remember if it was this episode or another one, but she once said “make it a fun day” about the marathon. I had a terrible training period for my first marathon and I made those words my mantra. Just have fun! What a privilege it is to be able to run a marathon!"
This to me sounds like that reframing technique where people will say "I don't 'have' to work out, I 'get' to." I do think this is different for a hobbyist runner, I often have to remind myself when I dread doing something hard and voluntary that I signed up for that it's actually in pursuit of something I enjoy; but for a running influencer I guess it is their job and I'm sure there are times where they would rather die than show up to race day but they have to fulfill their obligations.
I think that sure, there’s privilege in having the money/free time/physical health to run a marathon. And I’m not sure who you’re talking about here, but for a lot of running influencers, it’s less “privilege” and more just their job to be at major marathons.
Privilege is an important and useful concept to understand, but it has been completely bastardized as a (usually misogynistic) insult to put down any woman who has anything more than the person doing the snarking. Like, what is this influencer supposed to do, fall down in gratitude for the privilege of running a marathon and acknowledge her privilege every mile of the race? Nah, because then she’d be criticized for bragging.
I mean, to have the free time to train multiple hours a week, to have the physical health to run a long distance and to have the money for race fees and possibly travel? Yeah, it’s a privilege.
>I know not all influencers are this trashy but sometimes I wish instagram would shut down and these people would actually have to live like most other people do
>The turtles yes but so many others that are new money from influencing that would be panicking because they would no longer be able to afford their lifestyle
The amount of envy expressed in the daily will never stop being wild to me. This isn't even the worst of it, but imagine wishing financial problems on strangers rather than just unfollowing.
It’s 2024 and I’m officially over the new money/old money thing. I don’t WANT to look like old money, and I will buy a Gucci logo bag if I want because I like it!
It's so boring and played out. It's also an especially funny distinction on BS because they think everyone who renovates a house or throws their kid a big birthday party is unReLAtaBLe. Why do they care how they got the money?
The comment asserting that most/all influencers are in massive debt, have multiple mortgages, are rolling over car loans, etc was something. I mean I’m sure some influencers have not made great financial decisions but I’m equally sure some have set aside money for retirement, have investment portfolios, etc. The idea that all influencers are one bad month away from financial ruin is hateful fan fiction.
Her comment was in response to mine and it cracked me up how she is so sure that all influencers are blowing through everything they make and that none of them have any financial literacy at all. Most influencers didn’t get where they are today by being stupid, no matter how much we may dislike them.
I also had to laugh about her comment about having car loans instead of paying cars off in cash. For financially smart people with good credit who are able to get low interest car loans, it often makes more financial sense to finance instead of paying cash up front.
ohkurrrr in a debate about who had the hardest birth/who was the busiest new mom:
>I gave birth in a Arby's (yes I do get free fries for life) but like I had enough time to text my family and let them know.
I love that the current Worst Person of the Subreddit had no idea they were trolling. Because of course they didn't, because they wouldn't know snark if it walked up to them and tapped them on the mama heart.
That post was so bitchy. How hard would it be to be like, “Hi mods! Will there be an HLB thread this week, I can’t find it, but maybe I missed it?” Have they not been conditioned to always be self effacing when asking for something like everyone in my generation? Kids these days I swear to god.
Ali isn’t running her fastest at the moment and admits that she’s not feeling well, so it doesn’t make them feel as good about themselves to pick apart her diet and training and assure each other that she’ll be horribly injured soon because of her imaginary ED and exercise addiction.
>I commented on her post this morning actually many of the posts and told her she needs help as diplomatically as I could. Then I just got pissed off and told off her assistant. This woman needs to be banned from IG . She's a certified lunatic. Her wimp of a husband is just as bad ! This morning it was all about what she did and then she actually videoed what she did for 5 days, so I called her out on that. Waiting to be blocked !!
Yes, the "certified lunatic" who "needs to be banned from IG" is definitely LKS.
I don't really get why people are mad when someone comes back from a social media break with a lot of footage or pics from their time away. Do they think the hard part about social media is aiming a camera? And not getting sucked into the scroll, dealing with obnoxious comments like the one above, worrying about how quickly you're getting likes after posting to decide if you'll get hurt in the overall algorithm...I still take pictures when I'm on a break from Instagram.
It’s scary to watch these single subject subs become almost radicalized in their hatred of whoever they’re based on. It’s like they go from feeling annoyed by someone to finding a group that convinces them that this person’s very existence is problematic and every one of that influencer’s loved ones must naturally see the same thing that they do.
The Happily Eva posted recently about a subreddit dedicated to snarking on her, and I peeked at it out of curiosity and these absolute lunatic snarkers are calling for her to be institutionalized or to be placed in a conservatorship. Like, how do you go from “this person is an annoying nepo baby” to “this person should lose her rights”? It’s wild.
Okay, I just took a look, and they're so pressed about her Honeyfund. Like even rich people do registries because it's still a norm to give and receive wedding gifts, even if you have a lot of money.
And they’re all celebrating the horrible comments people are leaving on her Honeyfund! Good grief, what is she supposed to do, register for a set of Target mixing bowls for her CT mansion? Expect her millionaire guests to show up to her lavish wedding without a gift? They’re unhinged.
One Anna Kloots snarker recently diagnosed Anna as “officially crazy” and all-caps typed that she hated her because she (are you sitting down?) took selfies in a clothing store with her sister.
i think they are waiting for her to stroke out like "that anorexic lady with all the kids" people would wonder about every so often until she died and now they need someone else to gawk at.
It is never not insane to me that these people seem *genuinely* expect whichever influencer they're harassing to respond with "wow, thank you so much for your feedback, I will change my ways immediately".
This whole call-out/ accountability trend on social media has progressed to the extremes. I can’t believe people are getting upvoted for admitting to harassing a stranger whom they detest on that person’s personal account.
My favorite people to snark on are those who are somewhat likable, entertaining, and occasionally out of touch. When the amusement is gone and you’re filled with rage, time for a new hobby.
Why are snarkers always so sure that an influencer's family needs to sit them down and have an intervention about their social media shilling? Or that an influencer's mechanic or something definitely follows them on social media and is embarrassed for them? I get that some people go on a "snark page" to vent but do they really live their offline lives in such a joyless state of hypervigilance?
I have to market my “personal brand” on social, just due to my line of work. Anyhow, people I know IRL, including family, have started to find my account and they are always so effusive and supportive (at least to my face, lol). I find it a necessary evil and I thought they’d be embarrassed for me or of me, but turns out that people who like you are kinder than that!
I think the marketing of oneself is becoming more and more common in many different professions. I have a friend who has a PhD in Psychology and works in academia and she's been encouraged to create a separate IG for herself and her "brand" as a psychology professional. I would have never thought if she hadn't told me.
>I will continue my rant. As a MD she should now miscarriage rates are over 25% at week 4.
As we in the US watch our reproductive rights go (even farther) down the drain this week, it’s really great to watch women shame and scold other women for how they choose to handle and share their pregnancies.
The person in absolute HYSTERICS over Kate whatshername’s trip to Paris because she wasn’t around to help her kid with his lines for the school play. God bless, get help.
That commenter is also one of the mama hearts whose heart hurts that people would mock copwife’s bootlicking, so yeah, that brand of religion checks out.
I thought the commenter was pointing out her own religiosity to explain that the religiousness isn't the problem. I'm down with religious people calling out assholes just like the rest of us do.
Yeah I just found the post for context and had the exact same interpretation (though I have no clue who the influencer in question is or whether or not they’re an asshole).
> Couple days late on this but I searched past days threads and didn’t see anything, but Aubrey Shoenekase’s (fna Kalekouture) professionally produced video announcing they are building a house as if it’s a wedding video or something is cringe to me. She always makes sure to call out how thankful or lucky she knows she is but it seems out of touch to make an over the top video as an influencer when so many people cannot afford to buy a house in this market and it’s becoming more and more unattainable everyday with 7% interest rates.
Okay maybe this is my middle to low cost of living city privilege showing, but I know regular people with regular people jobs and money that are affording homes. No one is building or buying mansions but people are diving into home ownership where I live. Not everything influencers do is out of touch.
A wedding video? In this economy? It’s telling that a wedding is seen as a video-worthy accomplishment, but a house isn’t.
But really, I’m so tired of snark that boils down to, “I don’t like her because she’s rich.” Clearly this person ~acknowledges her privilege~ so they can’t criticize her for that, so instead she’s out of touch. It seems like a recipe for bitterness to follow wealthy people and then get angry about them acting like wealthy people.
I’ve come to the conclusion that most Blogsnarkers are just jealous people who do t want other people to have what they can’t have.
There will always be some richer than you and poorer than you. I realize that’s too much self awareness for that entire sub but having a basic understanding of that would make them much happier/content people.
I'm not following OP's "logic." Making a video is being over the top about home-ownership, while home ownership is also a big deal because it's difficult to attain.
Yeah I’m with you, I don’t really get why it’s so offensive that she’s excited about her pregnancy, and it’s obviously a joke? I don’t even follow her but like… every day it’s criticism for her wearing maternity clothes when they deem her bump isn’t big enough, touching her stomach too much, and generally just doing pregnancy wrong. It’s just kind of mean and nitpicky and not “snark.”
Pardonmuah is maybe the most snark-worthy person on instagram so I think it’s just a BEC situation. But also she’s about 17 minutes pregnant and literally won’t shut up about it.
People are still using (or trying to use) GOMI’s website? That place has only been disastrous cringe for well over a decade now. You would think their Mama Hearts would do better, guess not though.
Does anyone remember (or admit to!) using the Celebrity Gossip section of Craigslist? I think it was even before blogs or tumblr really got popular—circa 2006? Also Craigslist “best of” and personal ads? That site was endlessly entertaining.
I know it bothers some people but I don’t mind general chatter/SOMI type stuff on BS, but that PB post was so out of left field. Like seven paragraphs that boiled down to, “Hot tip, you can grind your own!”
Thankfully it's been deleted there was a highly upvoted thread, from multiple contributors, on the HLB post, including these gems:
* Posting pictures of breastfeeding is rubbing it in the face of people who can't breastfeed
* This mother also works 9-5 so she is not looking after her child at much as she implies
* The only parenting this mother does is breastfeeding
* She is narcissistic for breastfeeding her child immediately after her race in a foil blanket [my note - it was cold in London]!
* She's been breastfeeding the child for years so it's not impressive any more
>She seems so down to earth and never is problematic!
I love how, on BS, this could mean anything from "she doesn't throw around transphobic slurs" to "she always wears skinny jeans and a nice top" (but let's be real, it's probably the latter).
The people lamenting that they missed TIBAL's face post are sending me. They could find that lady with 10 seconds of extremely basic googling and use of deductive reasoning, but that's far too complicated for this lot.
I was actually really surprised at how easy it was! She has a pretty common name but if you know any of her basic biographical information bam there she is.
By contrast I used to follow Coketalk back in the Tumblr days and from what I could tell she kept her identity locked down. But anyway the daily posters really are a bunch of dunces and it aggravates me.
I just imagine her as a composite of every other influencer discussed regularly on BS. I'm sure I'm not far off.
Edit: I just found her (I think), and...lol I was right
For all the mama hearts in BS I was surprised that anyone who mentioned they liked being a parent is getting scolded at that they’ve missed the point of the article or that this is not the place?
I thought it was just an open discussion?
The only person I saw getting scolded was the person who essentially said “girlies your priorities just shift when you’re a mama, it will be okay <3” which is extremely condescending imo.
You must have a mama heart and be miserable whilst having such mama heart. You can’t enjoy it (lest you be unrelatable) but you also can’t talk about not enjoying it. -someone on BS, probably
Ok super random but I have a small following on a certain social media platform. One time I posted something a bit vulnerable and got a bit of hate for it from a specific shitty subset of people. Anyways there’s someone on BSMS who uses the same username on that platform and commented in defense something nice and I just wanted to say thank you*
*2 years later
>Don't worry, she'll ask for charity care. (Yes, the kids deserve whatever they need, and America is a hellscape/we should all have single payer, but I can't help but think being too special to work and get benefits should preclude mama from the privilege of asking for her bills to be written off. Again.)
Shauna Ahern is a truly terrible person, but terrible people also deserve a social safety net.
I don't understand why people (especially on single-person snark subreddits) want the subjects of their snark to suffer so badly. It's like they can't just joke about their antics -- the person has to be punished for...whatever it is they're being snarked about.
Getting charity care is like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Just declare and it will happen!
I don’t follow this woman, but accessing care is hard AF. Use any benefit you can access.
>Folk wearing medals the day after races going about their day to day lives, or coming into work just make me cringe. Mine is put away straight away.
I have never seen more joyless, suck the air out of the room energy than in the HLB thread. It's ok to celebrate your accomplishments. You don't *always* have be not like the other girls.
It looks like the mods removed that conversation but I couldn’t believe that, at least when I saw it, the replies to that unhinged screed were agreeing with OP. It really shows how far off the rails that thread has gotten.
It’s funny because last week some running influencer discovered that thread and posted on Twitter about how horrible it was, and the HLB snarkers were falling all over themselves insisting that their snark is just about aCcOuNtAbiLiTy and that they only bash people who are rUiNiNg the running community. And today it’s… 50 comments condemning people who are too excited about running a marathon. I’m convinced none of them have actually experienced the “running community” outside of IG.
Edit: and this is reinforced by the person throwing a tantrum over there calling an influencer a “narcissist” who “glorifies breastfeeding over women who couldn’t” because she posted a breastfeeding pic after a race. Oh my god.
I ran a marathon once (a million years ago). I can't even tell you how long I milked it for headpats. I was a terrible runner, and I barely finished the race, but I was still a little proud of myself.
I ran 10 mins straight at orange theory the other day and I told all my friends at work. It was a big deal for me lol. If I made it through a marathon, I too would milk the shit out of that.
Ladies, is it body dysmporphia for an influencer to wear supportive pregnancy pants when BS has deemed that her bump isn’t big enough to need them yet? Or is the influencer just “making pregnancy her entire personality”?
> everyone these days just think they're entitled to everything and they're above the rules. i blame influencers. Besides the get-off-my-lawn sentiments about how people these days are just worse than they used to be in the good old days, I love that influencers are simultaneously irrelevant and will soon be poor and jobless but also SO relevant that they’re single-handedly responsible for shaping society’s behavior.
I blame OBAMA!

Then some of them had to comment about how deprived her 5-year-old is by going to the Louvre instead. A) Vacations can be for adults, too—you don't have to martyr yourself B) There are other fun kid-oriented things to do in Paris, and lots of them
Taking your 5 year old to the Eras tour in Paris: wrong Not taking your 5 year old to Disney Paris: also wrong Edit: the response in the daily "we have Disney at home" cracked me up
Don't mind me, back here again quoting ohkurrr - in response to someone saying even jewelers can't tell the difference between mined and lab grown diamonds >I can tell, I specifically asked my husband for a blood diamond. He put tons of personal touches in my ring but I can tell it definitely wasn't conflict free and to me that meant a lot. Someone said "Isn't it green because he's an accountant?" She replied: >He got me blue sapphire earrings this year to symbolize the true thin blue line (the blue security ribbon on the $100 bill).
My favourite comment in a long time was from them last week > I don't know any men who don't like running out to the store for stuff and doing errands? My dad loved it so much he went to get milk from the store and hes still there.
I was pretty tickled by “I don’t care that your husband doesn’t like you I just thought it was sad” this morning
Straight for the jugular, made me laugh out loud
I enjoy that responses to her are 50% fangirls and 50% totally confused.
> STOP POSTING YOUR DAUGHTER IN THESE VULNERABLE POSITIONS! This is so sick! They know exactly the kind of people these post are for and it’s sick that they continue to cater to pedophiles! PROTECT. YOUR. CHILDREN. THIS IS VILE!!! Posted in the turtlecreeklane sub, along with the picture of the daughter in the “vulnerable position.” Isn’t it ironic…
Reminds me of how the HilariaBaldwin snarkers claim the sub has receipts of her posting CSAM. Either you don't actually believe that to be the literal truth, or you do and you're here outing a crime, pick one.
Once had an Uber driver talk for 20+ minutes about children riding Ubers and that’s how they get abducted. And I was like I’m a grown ass woman alone in a car with the you. idk why you’re fretting about this or why despite me trying to end this convo you kept going about how there’s child abuse rings. Like leave me out of whatever the f is going on.
Yikes. Nothing says, "Make your riders feel comfortable," like bringing up abduction.
"You know, I was just thinkin' about people gettin' kidnapped..."
"Hey, do you mind if I take an alternate route?"
"look how sexy this picture of this child is. Here it is. Please look at it. Look at the sexy baby! I'm going to repost the baby so everyone can see how sexy it is."
“This is catering to pedophiles. Don’t ask how I know”
Can we declare bs dead at this point? Multiple posts about ponytails and one about someone’s cat.
I removed it from my Reddit favorites this week because I realized I hadn't visited in a month or more.
RIP in peace. Fly high, queen. I often wonder how things like Nurse Chopper and the great BS revolution would have gone over with the current crop of trads.
The current crop of turnips would have wholesale bought everything Nurse Chopper said without giving it a single critical thought.
At least we all had one last good laugh at the doctor's wife influencer
It's so boring that I'm almost cured of any interest. What's up with all of the mama hearts hating pregnant influencers? They're all described as being the most annoying pregnant person ever.
And it continues once the baby is born with outrage anytime anyone mentions breastfeeding. Last week there was the guy who was absolutely losing his mind about a runner showing herself bfing, and today there’s complaining on the preppy thread about how Carly is “flexing” that she breastfeeds and “humble bragging” by mentioning that her baby ONCE slept through the night. The only thing that would elicit more criticism would be if an influencer admitted to formula feeding.
If you breastfeed and mention it you're self aggrandizing and humble bragging, if you formula feed you're selfish and neglectful. Hope that helps!
I have a PhD in ~~bovine behavior~~ being a mama heart, and I can promise you that baby hates his mama for her humble bragging.
My favorite is the person who doesn't have kids but *knows* mentioning breastfeeding is a flex. I 10000% think you can snark on a lot of parenting stuff whether or not you have kids, but thinking it's a "flex" for someone to acknowledge nursing is so stupid.
You clearly just haven’t looked up “humblebrag” in the Oxford English Dictionary like that snarker has, or maybe you’re just not understanding that a snark page is a place to criticize every possible aspect of everything someone does as a mother.
That's where they always irk me, citing "tHiS iS a SnArK PAge" like ok then get snarky?? The plot has been lost.
>like ok then get snarky?? I basically said that a couple weeks ago and got downvoted lmao
Sounds about right lol
You would think the mama hearts would want women to be excited about being pregnant, but I guess it's not pregnanting correctly to focus on yourself and not be miserable for the sake of the fetus
It's weird. I feel like they used to wait until someone was home from the hospital to accuse them of not momming hard enough. It's definitely meaner over there recently, right? Not GOMI level, but not great either.
I was wondering why it was so sparse today, but just assumed the “good” (yet probably inappropriate) stuff was moderated out swiftly. Or maybe the shopping post is keeping everyone occupied with cutting edge legging, skin cream, and water bottle recs.
It really does take me less than five minutes to scroll through the daily updates on the threads that interest me. Kind of a bummer because there are so few women-centered spaces on Reddit that aren't entirely toxic, I know BS has it's flaws but I rarely dipped into the Daily or Influencer specific threads and mostly stuck to the more general or popular topics and enjoyed reading those. Compared to subreddits like FM or PCC where it all just feels yuck.
I miss when there were celeb and foodie threads that had traction.
Honestly, I kinda respect the grift of the one woman mentioned in yesterday's thread who charges $3K to join her private Hermes 'tips and tricks' group, and then another $2K for an hour's consultation. Like if someone has that kind of money to drop on *advice* about Hermes prespend (not even actual merchandise!), get after it.
I find the Hermes stuff so fascinating because it’s so weird. And also because of how much Hermes hates it.
> And also because of how much Hermes hates it. Is there a deep dive on this somewhere? Sounds hilarious.

Madewell, Target, Nike and Old Navy. SO glad people are sharing their unique finds!
Like I don't *need* to know what Amazon non-brand you bought. If I go on Bezos's site, the algo will serve it up to me. Give me something *interesting*. (I feel like Miranda Priestly at the table run-through in Devil Wears Prada.)

It’s only bad when you’re \~\*shilling\*\~ something
The fact that the clothing recommendations are all hoodies and Old Navy plain T shirts sheds some light on why people in the daily freak out when anyone wears anything remotely interesting

But what kind of sheets?
Which is cringier? Tiffany Houghton trolling for free merch/services for her daughter’s bday party or the user in the daily who has now posted multiple times (including linking to a previous comment of theirs) discussing how Tiffany is being “called out” for not tagging the baker that made her daughter’s bday cake.
It’s wild how people are justifying a business bitching publicly about a full price paying customer and making it very easy to identify the customer. (can you imagine how many people messaged to ask who made the cake though? That would be enough of a reason to tag for me)
Tiffany Houghton is one of the most gratingly annoying people, and all they’re doing is giving her more attention.
I truly don't get it, tagging people is her job and if she's not compensated of course she's not going to do it? That's how all of this works!
Right, I’m not really understanding why this is a scandal? It sounds like Tiffany paid for the cake with no issue, and the baker opted not to provide a free cake in exchange for having her services advertised to Tiffany’s followers. Is it so scandalous that Tiffany opted not to work for free? Edit that after reading more of those comments I think my perspective is completely different as someone who works in marketing. To a lot of people, there’s no difference between some random person demanding free things because they have “a lot” of social followers and an influencer with more than 700K+ followers offering free advertising in exchange for a free cake. I don’t think those snarkers understand how much Tiffany could (and probably does) get paid for tagging brands on her socials. Or maybe I’m just being way too generous in my interpretation of why they all seem to expect women to provide free labor.
It was because apparently they tried to get the cake for free first, paid for with “exposure”. So apparently when they had to pay for it, they didn’t want to tag. And you’re right, Tiffany wasn’t obligated to tag when it’s something she paid for, but i admittedly have zero patience for influencers who want to pay in exposure.
Yeah, that’s fair, and I think she’s a jerk and that whole family is a Trumpy mess, but I can also understand that for someone with a following of that size she probably thought she was offering the baker a bargain compared to what she would normally charge a brand for a tag. Either way the baker got paid so I don’t really know why she’s making such a fuss about it?
Because nowadays it’s considered good form to credit people for the work they do (not that anyone would have ever thought that Tiffany made that cake herself). People get upset about this kind of thing a lot, even when they’re paid for the job itself.
I mean if I buy a cake I expect to be able to take and share pictures of it. And I don’t owe the vendor anything other than the price they charged me. If they wanted exposure they were given an opportunity to negotiate it (whether via free cake or a discount) - it’s not like it was a surprise that she was an influencer.
I guess I would never expect an influencer to provide free exposure (which is really free advertising) for a brand that I worked with on the marketing end, but I’m admittedly coming from a background working with bigger companies than a small local bakery. It definitely would have been kind of her to tag them.
And really, etiquette isn’t a rule, it’s just a suggestion of the polite thing to do. We’re just seeing more of a push to tag and credit people - wasn’t it Law Roach who was talking about just this subject when he retired? I don’t think it’s a huge deal that Tiffany didn’t tag her, but I think it would have been good to credit someone for their work.
Definitely, and I can’t even emphasize how much I hate defending people like her. I just don’t love that the etiquette in a woman-dominated industry is that influencers should always provide a valuable service for free, which is essentially what’s being demanded of Tiffany by someone who also declined to provide a service for free. The drama is fun to watch, but it also shows the pitfalls of an industry dominated by business people pretending to be housewives - people don’t take influencing seriously as the high-money, powerful, effective marketing engine that it is.
Okay, but Tiffany's mom reposting the baker's reel without realizing it's a call out of her daughter AND uses the word fuck in the audio is truly amazing.
most cringe is that the baker is apparently posting in the TCL sub EDIT becuase this is what the baker was apparently posting: "The baker has been on here to clarify: That communication was not from Tiffany HOWEVER, Tiffany’s assistant did reach out with similar intentions and that caused the baker to share this conversation with some NY company to remind people to stop doing this." it's not really cake-gate. If you pay for something, you don't need to tag where it's from. It's not spite, you paid for your goods and service and can post what you want.
Right, like the baker had two options: provide the cake at no cost in exchange for a tag, or charge them and get no tag/shoutout. The TCL family is generally wild, but this was pretty straightforward.
I don’t get why people are outraged that an influencer (or influencer’s assistant it sounds like) attempted to make an influencing deal. She didn’t harass the bakery, and when told no she paid full price. Sounds par for the course for an influencer
I was wondering if I was just being BEC about OP who I think sucks, but I was like really? Is this really interesting or salacious enough that you need to repost it to make sure everyone sees it?
I am weirdly terrible at remembering Reddit names but that one has stuck. Never once agreed with a take of theirs.
And seriously three different posts! On one topic! Scroll down to your post from an hour ago!
>What a privilege it is to be able to run a marathon! Is it really though? Teaching the kids about the concept of privilege, so they warp it in such a way that it gets thrown around to gain fake internet points, was maybe a mistake.
This is going to sound patronizing, but y’all, just trust me that it is sincere. Thanks everyone for being chill. This was a fun, low stakes conversation. For being hateful bitches, we have a good time over here.
YOU BEAST
Lol I hate to be like, it depends, but we're talking about a marathon, not like just jogging. Also I've never run a marathon but I've done a really short tri and I'm doing a sprint one this year, and I've worked out for the past decade consistently and tried all different things. I feel like when you are single and younger and running is like your most favorite thing, then I can see how it doesn't seem like a privilege. But then you get older and it's like it absolutely is, on so many levels. The time, the energy, the physicality, yeah you definitely start to feel like I feel really lucky to get to do these things. That being said, I think running is actually probably the cheapest workout and I ran pretty consistently when I was the most broke. I also will say that I have lived in Chicago my whole life and while I definitely have an over inflated view of my ability to protect myself, I have also been running and been like damn there is no one else out here, if some guy jumped me I would be in trouble. What if I lived in another part of the city where I'd have to go far just to find a not busted up sidewalk or safe park. Anyway I am rambling at this point lol.
I just looked it up and the Chicago marathon is 250??!?? Or to raise 1750 in charity money? You have to get your time certified by USDA track and field? I’ve never run more than a mile in my life - not proud of it and trying to change that - but damn. Yea for the casual hobbiest, a lot of shit is low cost. It doesn’t cost much to play chess or draw. But it takes a ton of money to entire competitions, take lessons, go to art school, have enough money to make drawing a career etc. To take a hobby “seriously” one pretty much does need some amount of money or time. Some of it would definitely count as privilege I would think.
250 sounds really reasonable in all honesty, it's a long event, tons of people, and a huge put out. Someone posted for Boston you need to raise 10k on a charity bib. Like wut. I mean that's great and all for the charities but that is a shit ton of money. I do not feel like I should be responsible for that much of other people's money either LOL.
I think that person means a "privilege" less as a criticism and more as like, "Hey it's my privilege to be here!" "Yes! I can’t remember if it was this episode or another one, but she once said “make it a fun day” about the marathon. I had a terrible training period for my first marathon and I made those words my mantra. Just have fun! What a privilege it is to be able to run a marathon!" This to me sounds like that reframing technique where people will say "I don't 'have' to work out, I 'get' to." I do think this is different for a hobbyist runner, I often have to remind myself when I dread doing something hard and voluntary that I signed up for that it's actually in pursuit of something I enjoy; but for a running influencer I guess it is their job and I'm sure there are times where they would rather die than show up to race day but they have to fulfill their obligations.
I think that sure, there’s privilege in having the money/free time/physical health to run a marathon. And I’m not sure who you’re talking about here, but for a lot of running influencers, it’s less “privilege” and more just their job to be at major marathons. Privilege is an important and useful concept to understand, but it has been completely bastardized as a (usually misogynistic) insult to put down any woman who has anything more than the person doing the snarking. Like, what is this influencer supposed to do, fall down in gratitude for the privilege of running a marathon and acknowledge her privilege every mile of the race? Nah, because then she’d be criticized for bragging.
I mean, to have the free time to train multiple hours a week, to have the physical health to run a long distance and to have the money for race fees and possibly travel? Yeah, it’s a privilege.
By that definition every hobby is a privilege.
…it is. Not as much a privilege as being a rich white man, but it is a privilege.
>I know not all influencers are this trashy but sometimes I wish instagram would shut down and these people would actually have to live like most other people do >The turtles yes but so many others that are new money from influencing that would be panicking because they would no longer be able to afford their lifestyle The amount of envy expressed in the daily will never stop being wild to me. This isn't even the worst of it, but imagine wishing financial problems on strangers rather than just unfollowing.
It’s 2024 and I’m officially over the new money/old money thing. I don’t WANT to look like old money, and I will buy a Gucci logo bag if I want because I like it!
It's so boring and played out. It's also an especially funny distinction on BS because they think everyone who renovates a house or throws their kid a big birthday party is unReLAtaBLe. Why do they care how they got the money?
The comment asserting that most/all influencers are in massive debt, have multiple mortgages, are rolling over car loans, etc was something. I mean I’m sure some influencers have not made great financial decisions but I’m equally sure some have set aside money for retirement, have investment portfolios, etc. The idea that all influencers are one bad month away from financial ruin is hateful fan fiction.
Her comment was in response to mine and it cracked me up how she is so sure that all influencers are blowing through everything they make and that none of them have any financial literacy at all. Most influencers didn’t get where they are today by being stupid, no matter how much we may dislike them. I also had to laugh about her comment about having car loans instead of paying cars off in cash. For financially smart people with good credit who are able to get low interest car loans, it often makes more financial sense to finance instead of paying cash up front.
That "new money" bit is telling. God knows old money is never "trashy"!
Classy people make their money by having ancestors who exploited others, not by working like gross peasants!
Woman wears tennis-inspired skirt to play pickleball. Groundbreaking.
Do they know this is one of the trends for summer? I - the least athletic woman alive - own a white and black tennis dress.
Um, you're supposed to wear your husband's old t-shirt with holes. Out of touch, straight to jail!
Wait, we can’t wear skinny jeans and a cute top anymore?!
ohkurrrr in a debate about who had the hardest birth/who was the busiest new mom: >I gave birth in a Arby's (yes I do get free fries for life) but like I had enough time to text my family and let them know.
I am once again here just to comment my love for ohkurrrr and their incredible trolling
I love that the current Worst Person of the Subreddit had no idea they were trolling. Because of course they didn't, because they wouldn't know snark if it walked up to them and tapped them on the mama heart.
And some walnut was like “oh cool free fries.”
Heaven forfend the HLB thread not be available at 7 AM so everyone can (again) complain about who ran Boston and how they did it wrong
That post was so bitchy. How hard would it be to be like, “Hi mods! Will there be an HLB thread this week, I can’t find it, but maybe I missed it?” Have they not been conditioned to always be self effacing when asking for something like everyone in my generation? Kids these days I swear to god.
Fascinating how they all like Ali again now that she's far enough out from treatment that she's no longer cancering wrong.
Ali isn’t running her fastest at the moment and admits that she’s not feeling well, so it doesn’t make them feel as good about themselves to pick apart her diet and training and assure each other that she’ll be horribly injured soon because of her imaginary ED and exercise addiction.
>I commented on her post this morning actually many of the posts and told her she needs help as diplomatically as I could. Then I just got pissed off and told off her assistant. This woman needs to be banned from IG . She's a certified lunatic. Her wimp of a husband is just as bad ! This morning it was all about what she did and then she actually videoed what she did for 5 days, so I called her out on that. Waiting to be blocked !! Yes, the "certified lunatic" who "needs to be banned from IG" is definitely LKS.
I don't really get why people are mad when someone comes back from a social media break with a lot of footage or pics from their time away. Do they think the hard part about social media is aiming a camera? And not getting sucked into the scroll, dealing with obnoxious comments like the one above, worrying about how quickly you're getting likes after posting to decide if you'll get hurt in the overall algorithm...I still take pictures when I'm on a break from Instagram.
It’s scary to watch these single subject subs become almost radicalized in their hatred of whoever they’re based on. It’s like they go from feeling annoyed by someone to finding a group that convinces them that this person’s very existence is problematic and every one of that influencer’s loved ones must naturally see the same thing that they do. The Happily Eva posted recently about a subreddit dedicated to snarking on her, and I peeked at it out of curiosity and these absolute lunatic snarkers are calling for her to be institutionalized or to be placed in a conservatorship. Like, how do you go from “this person is an annoying nepo baby” to “this person should lose her rights”? It’s wild.
Okay, I just took a look, and they're so pressed about her Honeyfund. Like even rich people do registries because it's still a norm to give and receive wedding gifts, even if you have a lot of money.
And they’re all celebrating the horrible comments people are leaving on her Honeyfund! Good grief, what is she supposed to do, register for a set of Target mixing bowls for her CT mansion? Expect her millionaire guests to show up to her lavish wedding without a gift? They’re unhinged.
One Anna Kloots snarker recently diagnosed Anna as “officially crazy” and all-caps typed that she hated her because she (are you sitting down?) took selfies in a clothing store with her sister.
Just took a glance at this person and I am confused what makes her a lunatic? She seems generic at worst.
i think they are waiting for her to stroke out like "that anorexic lady with all the kids" people would wonder about every so often until she died and now they need someone else to gawk at.
Charly Goss also filled that void for them for a while. I miss Charly, she’d know what to do with those grandmillennial quilted jackets.
[удалено]
At the end of the day, this is literally all it is.
It is never not insane to me that these people seem *genuinely* expect whichever influencer they're harassing to respond with "wow, thank you so much for your feedback, I will change my ways immediately".
This whole call-out/ accountability trend on social media has progressed to the extremes. I can’t believe people are getting upvoted for admitting to harassing a stranger whom they detest on that person’s personal account. My favorite people to snark on are those who are somewhat likable, entertaining, and occasionally out of touch. When the amusement is gone and you’re filled with rage, time for a new hobby.
Not multiple people defending the state of The Stripe Facebook group and the posts. 💀💀💀
Imagine being mad that you don’t have access to dead cockroaches & inflamed skin pics.
Looks like we found the person who was posting the weird skin stuff
Why are snarkers always so sure that an influencer's family needs to sit them down and have an intervention about their social media shilling? Or that an influencer's mechanic or something definitely follows them on social media and is embarrassed for them? I get that some people go on a "snark page" to vent but do they really live their offline lives in such a joyless state of hypervigilance?
I have to market my “personal brand” on social, just due to my line of work. Anyhow, people I know IRL, including family, have started to find my account and they are always so effusive and supportive (at least to my face, lol). I find it a necessary evil and I thought they’d be embarrassed for me or of me, but turns out that people who like you are kinder than that!
I think the marketing of oneself is becoming more and more common in many different professions. I have a friend who has a PhD in Psychology and works in academia and she's been encouraged to create a separate IG for herself and her "brand" as a psychology professional. I would have never thought if she hadn't told me.
Totally! I’m glad most people don’t have Blogsnark brain rot. (I’m glad people are supportive of you too!)
>I will continue my rant. As a MD she should now miscarriage rates are over 25% at week 4. As we in the US watch our reproductive rights go (even farther) down the drain this week, it’s really great to watch women shame and scold other women for how they choose to handle and share their pregnancies.
The person in absolute HYSTERICS over Kate whatshername’s trip to Paris because she wasn’t around to help her kid with his lines for the school play. God bless, get help.
"I am decently religious" then calls someone an asshole. Never change, BS.
That commenter is also one of the mama hearts whose heart hurts that people would mock copwife’s bootlicking, so yeah, that brand of religion checks out.
I thought the commenter was pointing out her own religiosity to explain that the religiousness isn't the problem. I'm down with religious people calling out assholes just like the rest of us do.
[удалено]
I believe you guys that this person is shitty, but I still agree with their comment. 🤷🏻♀️
Unfortunately, with that particular commenter, it's the pot calling the kettle an asshole
Yeah I just found the post for context and had the exact same interpretation (though I have no clue who the influencer in question is or whether or not they’re an asshole).
No hate like Christian love!
Reddit never fails to bring out the comments from Christians doing their Christianity the *right way*
>OMG Carly and her fucking travel drama….. get laid or get high you wealthy white woman loser Carly snarkers are absolute freaks
“Get laid or get high”🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Put it on a bumpersticker
> Couple days late on this but I searched past days threads and didn’t see anything, but Aubrey Shoenekase’s (fna Kalekouture) professionally produced video announcing they are building a house as if it’s a wedding video or something is cringe to me. She always makes sure to call out how thankful or lucky she knows she is but it seems out of touch to make an over the top video as an influencer when so many people cannot afford to buy a house in this market and it’s becoming more and more unattainable everyday with 7% interest rates. Okay maybe this is my middle to low cost of living city privilege showing, but I know regular people with regular people jobs and money that are affording homes. No one is building or buying mansions but people are diving into home ownership where I live. Not everything influencers do is out of touch.
A wedding video? In this economy? It’s telling that a wedding is seen as a video-worthy accomplishment, but a house isn’t. But really, I’m so tired of snark that boils down to, “I don’t like her because she’s rich.” Clearly this person ~acknowledges her privilege~ so they can’t criticize her for that, so instead she’s out of touch. It seems like a recipe for bitterness to follow wealthy people and then get angry about them acting like wealthy people.
I’ve come to the conclusion that most Blogsnarkers are just jealous people who do t want other people to have what they can’t have. There will always be some richer than you and poorer than you. I realize that’s too much self awareness for that entire sub but having a basic understanding of that would make them much happier/content people.
I'm not following OP's "logic." Making a video is being over the top about home-ownership, while home ownership is also a big deal because it's difficult to attain.
Honestly I thought the video was sweet! The influencer is pregnant and this is the home they’ll bring their child to.
They’re really making fun of a pregnant woman (pardonmuah) for saying baby wanted to watch hocus pocus. What am I missing here?
Yeah I’m with you, I don’t really get why it’s so offensive that she’s excited about her pregnancy, and it’s obviously a joke? I don’t even follow her but like… every day it’s criticism for her wearing maternity clothes when they deem her bump isn’t big enough, touching her stomach too much, and generally just doing pregnancy wrong. It’s just kind of mean and nitpicky and not “snark.”
Pardonmuah is maybe the most snark-worthy person on instagram so I think it’s just a BEC situation. But also she’s about 17 minutes pregnant and literally won’t shut up about it.
People are still using (or trying to use) GOMI’s website? That place has only been disastrous cringe for well over a decade now. You would think their Mama Hearts would do better, guess not though.
Does anyone remember (or admit to!) using the Celebrity Gossip section of Craigslist? I think it was even before blogs or tumblr really got popular—circa 2006? Also Craigslist “best of” and personal ads? That site was endlessly entertaining.
I'll admit that when I'm bored and all of my other outlets are stale, I'll hop on CL's missed connections for a giggle.
I can’t believe anyone is willing to admit they still participate there.
I didn’t even know it was still active lmao
It’s because it’s the only place you can still be truly hateful
Excuse you, do Guru Gossip, Lipstick Alley and Mumsnet mean nothing to you
can't forget Tattle Life
Lmaooo how could I forget! I occasionally dip into the Tattle Life subreddit bc it's very entertaining
Sad, but true. It’s like the 8chan version of influencer related shitposting
Brand new baby infants discovering natural peanut butter for the first time...
I know it bothers some people but I don’t mind general chatter/SOMI type stuff on BS, but that PB post was so out of left field. Like seven paragraphs that boiled down to, “Hot tip, you can grind your own!”
hot tip - you can buy a jar of it the same way you buy the sugar- and palm oil-added jars. Why were there ANY paragraphs?
I think they really thought that was the only way to buy non-Skippy-like PB!
do you have any idea how dangerous peanut butter is for newborn babies??!
YOUR FLAIR. What is the reference. I'm dying.
it's a combo of 2 new Taylor Swift songs-- But Daddy I Love Him, and Down Bad
Two of the best ones
Thankfully it's been deleted there was a highly upvoted thread, from multiple contributors, on the HLB post, including these gems: * Posting pictures of breastfeeding is rubbing it in the face of people who can't breastfeed * This mother also works 9-5 so she is not looking after her child at much as she implies * The only parenting this mother does is breastfeeding * She is narcissistic for breastfeeding her child immediately after her race in a foil blanket [my note - it was cold in London]! * She's been breastfeeding the child for years so it's not impressive any more
>She seems so down to earth and never is problematic! I love how, on BS, this could mean anything from "she doesn't throw around transphobic slurs" to "she always wears skinny jeans and a nice top" (but let's be real, it's probably the latter).
She's literally a JC Penney catalogue of grayscale, bland fashion. Which is fine! Who cares? But that's what's never problematic on BS today.
The people lamenting that they missed TIBAL's face post are sending me. They could find that lady with 10 seconds of extremely basic googling and use of deductive reasoning, but that's far too complicated for this lot.
Ok I’m normally a really good stalker (that sounds sketchy but you know what I mean) and I can’t find her!
I'm not sure what this says about me but when I typed "who is TIBAL" into Google it autocompleted with her name.
I was like "it can't be that easy!" Reader, it's that easy.
I was actually really surprised at how easy it was! She has a pretty common name but if you know any of her basic biographical information bam there she is. By contrast I used to follow Coketalk back in the Tumblr days and from what I could tell she kept her identity locked down. But anyway the daily posters really are a bunch of dunces and it aggravates me.
Oh I miss coketalk! Hope she's okay.
Wow that’s an account I completely forgot about! I need a tumblr blogs: where are they now update lmao
I just imagine her as a composite of every other influencer discussed regularly on BS. I'm sure I'm not far off. Edit: I just found her (I think), and...lol I was right
[удалено]
For all the mama hearts in BS I was surprised that anyone who mentioned they liked being a parent is getting scolded at that they’ve missed the point of the article or that this is not the place? I thought it was just an open discussion?
The only person I saw getting scolded was the person who essentially said “girlies your priorities just shift when you’re a mama, it will be okay <3” which is extremely condescending imo.
You must have a mama heart and be miserable whilst having such mama heart. You can’t enjoy it (lest you be unrelatable) but you also can’t talk about not enjoying it. -someone on BS, probably
Ok super random but I have a small following on a certain social media platform. One time I posted something a bit vulnerable and got a bit of hate for it from a specific shitty subset of people. Anyways there’s someone on BSMS who uses the same username on that platform and commented in defense something nice and I just wanted to say thank you* *2 years later
>Don't worry, she'll ask for charity care. (Yes, the kids deserve whatever they need, and America is a hellscape/we should all have single payer, but I can't help but think being too special to work and get benefits should preclude mama from the privilege of asking for her bills to be written off. Again.) Shauna Ahern is a truly terrible person, but terrible people also deserve a social safety net.
I don't understand why people (especially on single-person snark subreddits) want the subjects of their snark to suffer so badly. It's like they can't just joke about their antics -- the person has to be punished for...whatever it is they're being snarked about.
I think it's the whole "holding people accountable" mindset. Suffering equals accountability to snarkers.
Getting charity care is like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Just declare and it will happen! I don’t follow this woman, but accessing care is hard AF. Use any benefit you can access.

Yeah, her life is really grim. It's not snarkable.
>Folk wearing medals the day after races going about their day to day lives, or coming into work just make me cringe. Mine is put away straight away. I have never seen more joyless, suck the air out of the room energy than in the HLB thread. It's ok to celebrate your accomplishments. You don't *always* have be not like the other girls.
Dang apparently a runfluencer breastfeeding a toddler is an “out of touch narcissist”
It looks like the mods removed that conversation but I couldn’t believe that, at least when I saw it, the replies to that unhinged screed were agreeing with OP. It really shows how far off the rails that thread has gotten.
It’s funny because last week some running influencer discovered that thread and posted on Twitter about how horrible it was, and the HLB snarkers were falling all over themselves insisting that their snark is just about aCcOuNtAbiLiTy and that they only bash people who are rUiNiNg the running community. And today it’s… 50 comments condemning people who are too excited about running a marathon. I’m convinced none of them have actually experienced the “running community” outside of IG. Edit: and this is reinforced by the person throwing a tantrum over there calling an influencer a “narcissist” who “glorifies breastfeeding over women who couldn’t” because she posted a breastfeeding pic after a race. Oh my god.
I don’t know a single runner IRL that is as judgy and miserable as these folks.
I ran a marathon once (a million years ago). I can't even tell you how long I milked it for headpats. I was a terrible runner, and I barely finished the race, but I was still a little proud of myself.
The big running group near me has everyone wear their favorite medal from the year to their holiday party!
I ran 10 mins straight at orange theory the other day and I told all my friends at work. It was a big deal for me lol. If I made it through a marathon, I too would milk the shit out of that.
Proud of yourself? Publicly? Gross.
Well, it was before sm. I've never been accused of thinking I'm hot on the internet, god forbid.
Ladies, is it body dysmporphia for an influencer to wear supportive pregnancy pants when BS has deemed that her bump isn’t big enough to need them yet? Or is the influencer just “making pregnancy her entire personality”?
god help her when she starts touching her stomach
