To think Mumsnet doesn't hate Instagram influencers?

[jamoncrumpets]

And for prominent influencers who I will not name here for fear of them kicking off and getting the thread pulled to even hint that this might be the case is irresponsible on their part?

SO much gets discussed on MN every day. So much gets criticised. Social media influencers are a new and intriguing phenomenon - why wouldn't they be discussed here? For better or worse?

Many people have supported influencers for the way they earn money. That gets ignored. Many have politely criticised and pointed out ways it could be more ethical. This gets ignored. One or two have made comments that are personal or cross the line, these have been pounced on and discussed publicly.

The 'arguments' die down. People stop caring. Then prominent influencers go and start the whole thing up again.

Blaming MN is just lazy and irresponsible.

In the same way I don’t feel the need to see how much the Beckhams make.

@theclockstruck3 I think is trying to derail this buy quoting MODs recent post. It’s creepy you’re actully a bit weird

BINGO

M5 has no place closing down any discussion. Especially given she has been one of the nastiest posters on here.

For what it matters I didn't say I wanted it discussed. It was another poster who asked actually. You're just making stuff up to suit your own agenda again cady. Same old.

sad face I was trying to help.

spongebob -

Some big influencers are listed companies so you could check stilldazed.

She was trying to close down a side discussion on influencer's income stream brought up by another poster

You're missing the point that you wanted people to talk about earnings that are really nothing to do with you.
Now they are talking about it.
Even though it is very uncomfortable and weird too that people would post it out there to make a point like allergy said.

Stilldazed asked and I told her where she could find out. I didn't link the information or post figures. That's not the same as wanting a discussion on it, nor am I to blame for this thread turning cady. You and M5 doing a grand job of that yourself, again.

We can only wonder why you've such a vested interest in shutting down conversation in or around this topic.

But I'm out of this until it gets back to some reasoned discussion and the spammer has gone.

Bet NB was well chuffed to receive 77,000 less likes then her chum MOD for her ‘return to Instagram’ post.

sponge - yes, the poster you mentioned did say it first. As per the bit quoted. You said you wanted the discussion to carry on. As in,it shouldnt be policed.
So discussion on it has ensued. Which you said should be allowed to happen.
So there you go.

We can only wonder why you've such a vested interest in shutting down conversation in or around this topic.

I'm not the one derailing. There was a decent discussion going on re mental health and ads before all this crap about wanting to be able to start looking into how much they earn started up.

Blimey. You actually sit and count?

I take it back, posters aren't over invested in IGers at all. Oh, hang on.....

Cady hit me with something unpredictable I dare you I double dare you

my confused grin was to Eeby but it cross posted with theclock. I suppose it can apply to that comment too lol

theclock aw shucks, thanks nice to get positive comments thrown at me for once.
I don't do much gushing myself, but can I interest you in an (affectionate) punch to the arm in return lol
I need to be educated in the ways of the hunning more

I can get on board with a self care Monday! I'm planning on making tomorrow a self care Tuesday too

Do all swipe up links carry affiliate monies, or just some?

I've just noticed them a lot more in stories now, and wondered whether I was being a bit niave (I do follow one or two who post "affiliate link" so maybe I thought they all would)
