Instagram Influencers - Black Friday

This is a bit of a general chat really vs any real point but I was wondering if anybody else is getting a bit bemused by fashion instagrammers going on about (after Stacey Dooley’s documentary I guess) how consumerism and Black Friday is bad (oh but here’s just a few very carefully selected afflilate links).

Also all advertising Katherine Ormerod’s ‘Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life’ book, on ... social media.

I actually get and agree with the concepts of both but, I don’t know, it’s just mildly patronising where it’s coming from? I know they probably can’t win, but anyway, just wondering what other people think. I also do enjoy the ones I follow, I just find it a bit weird that I’m feeling a bit guilty for following them, by them, if that makes any sense?

I agree. They’ve all done it this year. They’ve looked down distainfully at things like the ASDA Black Friday event but luckily for Us still linked to more acceptable middle class things like 30% of Liberty

It's a business whatever is in the news or popular they will be jumping on the bandwagon. It's all so shallow.

Started a thread about exactly this last night! I've unfollowed the frugality for being so high and mighty about it all.

All these insta bloggers saying they don't "believe" in Black Friday http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/3432579-all-these-insta-bloggers-saying-they-don-t-believe-in-black-friday
