AIBU to think this chancer (with a horrible makeup) is just an entitled, freeloading brat?

VLogger asking for a free hotel room and gets a beautiful reply from hotel owner.

Bearing in mind the publicity this has generated since the story went viral this week, she appears to have barely added to her follower count at all - a few thousand extras is nothing on social media.

This is perhaps hardly surprising given that most of the followers seem to be other vloggers and ‘influencers.’

Companies giving third parties items/experience for implied favourable reviews is already pretty shady, it gets even shadier if it those third parties that are making the initial contact with companies and implying they'll get favourable reviews in return for free stuff, especially if the third party has influence over impressionable people, like young adults/children. Which is essentially what this "social medial influencer" has done.

She is unattractive, badly made up, has weird pink hands and mouth, and is intolerably dull, self absorbed, and irritating. A talentless scrounger. And who the fuck could sit through 17 minutes of that drivel???

I would be embarrassed to have someone like that within 100 yards of my business, hardly the sort of person anyone with any integrity or intelligence might want to be associated with.

If I were in this situation I would do the same as this chap - give her the opportunity to NOT stay there, for free, due to the significant benefits of not having something like that associated with a decent business. Win win for him.

Talentless scrounger sums up her, and much of the insta-blog-vlog world.

What the fuck has her looks got to do with anything?
I swear, I think some people are just nasty twats for the sake if it.

Giving her the opportunity not to stay there "for free" is hardly the same as what this self serving cafe owner did is it?
He publicly published her email with a scathing put down to humiliate her, then promptly sent it viral to get likes, hits, and attention for himself and his OWN social media channels.
He's a bullying hypocrite.

bossbabymomma · 20/01/2018 11:54

Yanbu she's a dick

chaucerstails · 20/01/2018 11:59

YouTube is an extremely visual form of entertainment so people are going to focus on appearances a bit more than say, the radio.

A successful vlogger's personality / wit / style should be able to overcome any question over their appearance. I think this vlogger has failed to demonstrate enough of the above, hence the comments on how she looks.

For the record, I think neither have come out looking good and so far I have managed to avoid watching either vlog to avoid contributing to whatever pay for clicks structure.

And 22yr old females are grown women, not girls.

If the hotel owner's attitudes/comments are fairly well known why did she ask for a freebie in the first place ?
Should have done her homework.

Thesmallthings · 20/01/2018 12:07

I thinÄ· the hotel manager was wrong imo

She did nothing wrong in asking, and like it or not that's how some make a living. Yes the hotel didnt have to agree but he was a dick for replying by shammingg and bullying her online instead of ethier ignoring her email or just saying no.

Wether you like her ir not is besides the point

DreamyMcDreamy · 20/01/2018 12:21

If the hotel owner's attitudes/comments are fairly well known why did she ask for a freebie in the first place ?Should have done her homework
Yes, there's no doubt she should have done some research first.
That is the ONLY thing she did wrong though! He's an utter knob for sending that email in the first place and then posting on his social media channels.
Why is it her fault? Bit victim blaming - HE'S the arsehole in this situation, not her.

bettytaghetti · 20/01/2018 12:52

Sorry haven't RTFT, but loving the fact that she claims to be behind the success of Universal Orlando, lol!

This is all just soooo funny!!! Dumb ass 22 year old begs for free hotel stay but phrases it as doing a favour. Do these millennials think we were born yesterday? Is there surgery for laziness?

Donnerkebabbler · 20/01/2018 16:16

X factor asked a Liverpool baker to make a free cake in return for exposure. The baker refused (she does do freebies for charity) and said the exposure promised is generally non existent

lazyarse123 · 20/01/2018 18:21

I couldn't watch more than a minute and I don't know what the hotel owner said but I would suggest she gets a proper job and pays for herself. My new favourite word is entitled, that just about says it all.

strugglingtodomybest · 21/01/2018 10:09

I started reading this thread having never heard of either of them, then I watched the whole 17 mins of her video and just cringed. Then I read the whole thread and got quite angry.

Yes, she's immature and made a big mistake not doing her research. But man, he's one full on dick, and apparently quite a few of the posters on here are too. Just leave her appearance out of it won't you? I'm so fucking fed up of women slagging off other woman's appearances.

The invoice the hotel are sending her:

To think this vlogger is a CF?
Hygge · 21/01/2018 10:36

That invoice has put me firmly on her side.

There's no way I'd want to go anywhere near him or his businesses after reading about the way he treats people or seeing the stunts he thinks passes for funny.

His sense of humour is that of a nasty bully, she's got him right on that score.

LadyBunnysWig · 21/01/2018 10:37

I just started a thread about this because I didn't see this one Blush

So basically I have been asked for a 'collaboration' by bloggers nearly every day for the last 5 years or so. Every single person who has a blog thinks they can use this to get free shit. Half the blogs who've asked us have maybe 10 followers or 3 posts and they still try their luck. I would love to be able to post something like this hotel has... at least it may get them to stop asking all the time and I can get on with doing my actual job and stop having these shitty emails filling my inbox.

PeanutButterCheesecake · 21/01/2018 10:38

She calls herself a beauty blogger...she makes it all about what she looks like, not me Grin

Kittensingloves · 21/01/2018 10:38

Couldn't sit through that video, she's a moron.

Begging for freebies is not a business. And even if it was, she's shit at it.

caperberries · 21/01/2018 11:16

The invoice is funny!

DreamyMcDreamy · 21/01/2018 11:26

That invoice,seriously? How is that funny? Bullying people is funny?
God, I have a sarky dry sense of humour but he's not funny, he's a nasty twat.
Doesn't know when to let stuff drop, does he?
No way would I go anywhere near his businesses, and I don't care, I judge anyone who finds him funny as it means they're as bad as he is.

PoorYorick · 21/01/2018 11:32

That's too much. He has a fair point before, now he's just being a dick.

DreamyMcDreamy · 21/01/2018 11:35

Have you SEEN the amount of shit she's getting on Twitter? Just been to have a look, it's awful.
Then stupid people are like "aw, but she's not being bullied, as if she's getting death threats, yeah right" - I can well believe she is, there's some horrendous things that pass for humans out there!
Then we have idiots braying for more and sticking the boot in.
Ugh.
