To think this vlogger is a CF?

[SteamyBeignets]

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.

Really interesting how it's perceived as print freelancers - worthwhile, online media freelancers - not.
It's the same thing!

Correct me if my understanding is incorrect here, but literally anyone can start a blog and write about whatever floats through their mind and it can be read, copied, acknowledged by anyone with access the the internet. They can put as much or little into their work as they like. To actually be published someone has to review your work and only the work deemed worthy will be published. So if that is true then I would say that print freelance would be more worthwhile. The majority of bloggers do not earn a wage from their blog but still try to grab free shit from businesses.

You're right, anyone can start a blog or vlog. It doesn't automatically mean you're any good, either. There's loads of terrible blogs out there, but also equally there's a load of brilliantly written ones with huge audiences.
People seem to dismiss and lump in the entire lot together though, even the extremely successful ones as in "it's not a proper job."
It can be a really good one. The trouble comes when people set up a blog or vlog purely to get money, as it doesn't quite work like that.
You have to have an established and engaged one before anyone would even look at you and even then it's hard.

Exactly.

she's a CF, he's a dick.

Looks like they both got some publicity out of it.

Personally I will be happy when this reaches peak and the detritus start to drop out.

Lets also not pretend that bloggers and vloggers are purer than the driven snow.

Many got caught and had to admit that their 'favourite' products were those that they were being paid to promote.

I assumed she was asking for a night or two. Apparently it was five? Asking for one or two nights is cheeky, asking for five is a piss take.

It's really not.

I'm a freelancer. People PAY me to write copy for them - for leaflets, websites or blogs. I get PAID when I submit the copy, and what the client then does with it is their business. My fee is not based on how many people read what I've written, and the fee is paid before the copy is even published.. If I were a shite writer (I like to think I'm not), I would never get repeat business, never win a contract, never get paid.

Bloggers and Vloggers do not earn money in the same way. They start their blog, produce content without being paid, in the hope they get enough page views to start generating Adsense revenue or attracting other advertisers/sponsors to their blog. They can have the shitest blog in the world, or make videos nobody watches, makes no difference.

Yes it's all media but it's very different in the way you earn money.

Couldn't watch for longer than about 30 seconds, her whiny little voice and hand gestures were too annoying. But I'm 47 so obviously too ancient to matter much to the baublehead. Then again, 15 and 17 YO dses reckoned she was unwatchable too so her audience must be very niche.

Very niche. Lol

Copywriting and blogging/vlogging are entirely different skills. You can’t and shouldn’t compare the two.
