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.

It seems as if he's a bit of a chancer/attention seeker - and he sort of gets off on riling people up. Fair play - this was bloody funny. I imagine he watched her reaction video on a big telly with all his mates laughing their heads off Grin

CF = Cheeky Fucker

QueenFrosta · 18/01/2018 23:36

They're all at it aren't they? I do follow a few on twitter, though I'm going off them, as they just put out targeted begging tweets for anything they want/need/have a passing interest in.

DreamyMcDreamy · 18/01/2018 23:36

I'm well over 30, and know it's vlogging, not vee logging or v-logging.
Never heard of this vlogger before, but if she says over 30s don't understand vlogs and blogs, this thread kind of proves she does have a point, even if she did clumsily word it!

coldcanary · 18/01/2018 23:37

Anyone told her that Sir Tim Berners-Lee was 34 when he invented the WWW?

DreamyMcDreamy · 18/01/2018 23:38

Yeah, hilarious. Send a nasty email,make it public and invite everyone to give her a kicking. Hmm
Online bullying is never OK.

Dozyoldtwonk · 18/01/2018 23:38

Some of the instamums have weighed in with their support on her Instagram page.

All in it together.

I can’t wait until this blogger influencer wannabe bullcrap blows over & becomes ‘so yesterday’. It’s getting so grabby and tired and…predictable Hmm

P.S. she looks awful, sounds awful and is very much a CF, IMO. I’ll forgive her as she’s only 22 - she’s got a lot to learn, bless her.

Weebo · 18/01/2018 23:39

How does this thread prove that, Dreamy?

Because people disagree with her? That's not how it works.

Bazzle · 18/01/2018 23:39

He didn't name her though! She outed herself on her own video so I imagine she enjoyed the attention more than she was letting on.

HuskyMcClusky · 18/01/2018 23:41

What a complete and utter muppet. I’m cringing for her (not that she cares, since I’m over 40 and therefore a ghost).

God help us if there’s a generation growing up thinking this is a ‘job’. HmmConfused

Yeah, the Cafe Owner Twat apparently set up a crowd funding page to get money from all his followers to pay his phone bill according to the article linked up thread.
Then has the cheek to publicly call someone else out for doing the exact same thing and invite in the trolls (as you just know they'll all come out of the woodwork.)
He puts a link to his OWN blog in his reply and promptly sends it viral whilst at the same time slamming her.
And he's fine and OK and comes out as the Hilarious Banter King? Nope, he sounds vile.

DreamyMcDreamy · 18/01/2018 23:44

How does this thread prove that, Dreamy?

Nothing to do with agreeing with her or not, you either do or you don't.
Perfectly obvious that there's a lot on here that don't have a clue about vlogs or blogs which kind of proves her point a bit.

Hygge · 18/01/2018 23:45

They both sound as bad as each other really.

MidniteScribbler · 18/01/2018 23:47

"hindering the younger generation from doing what they enjoy"

You mean the enjoyment of getting stuff for nothing? What's next? Oh, dear building company, give me a free house, because I'll enjoy it and tell a few other people online about it". Fuck off.

The phrase 'social media influencer' can fuck off too. It's up there with the word 'cisgender' for complete and utter wankery.

Weebo · 18/01/2018 23:51

Amen, Midnight.

Darcychu · 18/01/2018 23:52

sorry i think your wrong. Most youtubers get shit for free, thats the way the platform works, they get free stuff ... if you can then why not?? all he needed was to email back and say no or just ignore, was no need for all that horrible attitude.

NOW i dont like her at all, but why would i blame her for trying to get accomodation cheaper or for free??? i do the same when i go on holiday.. i try to find discount codes or buy so many nights get some free.. WHY??? BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT???

SteamyBeignets · 18/01/2018 23:54

@Agatha Grin

You forgot to add she said a 9-5 job means you dont have the balls to chase the life you want i.e. getting free shit for nothing. Tell that to the people who work at YouTube who on are majority over 30 Wink

Maybe he was, but that's not really relevant - social media marketing wasn't a big thing like it is now, is it? Actually social media wasn't a thing!
Like the fact or not, it's a big form of advertising, and companies can and do approach bloggers/vloggers themselves in the hope of getting in front of a niche, engaged ready made audience instead of just pitching out tweets blindly and hoping someone relevant sees.
Beauty vloggers/parenting/fashion etc.....they've a ready made audience and they pay for it.

SteamyBeignets · 18/01/2018 23:55

Did everybody miss this important point? She exposed herself. He didnt name her!

She and her overinflated lips are the worst kinds of attention seeking.

OP posts:
SteamyBeignets · 18/01/2018 23:57

@Dreamy, if I were marketing for a company that used her, I'd pull out right away. Yes, social media maeketing is a thing, and I do follow some vloggers for fun but she is just painfully embarrassing.

Bazzle · 18/01/2018 23:58

Yes but are you not being a bit of CF if you pitch at a fancy hotel in Dublin you just fancy going to for a nice weekend - how many of her followers (which to be honest aren't huge) would book off the back of her vlog?! My guess would have been zero.

nocoolnamesleft · 18/01/2018 23:59

So, um, given the number of followers he appears to have....does that mean that she needs to pay him, because he has raised her profile?

Grin
DreamyMcDreamy · 19/01/2018 00:00

She exposed herself. He didnt name her!

From what I've seen,he threatened to expose her and name her publicly because he was getting left one star reviews by trolls.
How's that her problem?
Maybe she exposed herself because she felt she had no choice.
What's her looks got to do with the whole calling her out affair?

AgathaMystery · 19/01/2018 00:03

She was exposed on the @bullshitcallerouters Instagram page when someone pointed out that if you looked at where her name had been blacked out, increased your screen brightness to max & then zoomed in - you could read it.

So the 32,000 people that where then following BSCA did exactly that. And she (Elle) then vlogged about it.

BattleCuntGalactica · 19/01/2018 00:07

Exposure doesn't pay bills.

She's entitled as fuck, and unfortunately, she went to the worst possible person to ask for a freebie. She inadvertently asked a raptor enclosure for a free pass to walk through and not be torn to bits and eaten, and it didn't go well.

If she learns anything from this, it'll be to do her homework first. She's one of so many vloggers into the same stuff, and their sense of entitlement seems to be really high.
