Fed up of Instamums not being original with their ‘ads’

So tonight at more or less the same time two instamums/bloggers posted about meal box plans. Both similar stories and words/phrases used so it must be scripted, box the same product/company and both doing the same vote over the followers choosing what they cook.

They got followers from being original and I just feel like it’s a sell out that they have done this as nothing original and for a few pounds they have clearly read off a script. I see it a lot now and it’s really disappointing. They were much better with less followers and just sticking to who they were instead of losing themselves for a few pounds and the latest fad. Does anyone else witness the same?

And seen a third as well. All promoting the same company. How silly and it’s a shame they know they have mum followers which they are now trying to sell to.

Yeah I've definitely noticed this too. I don't begrudge them making money from posts but I do miss the original Instagram where it wasn't always about sponsored posts 😒

Oh god do we really need another Instamum bashing thread? Hmm

It’s not a bashing thread it’s just an observation that I have made when u logged on.
