She earned 70K USD in one week ( ref : social blade)
no way this is accurate
i work in marketing in beauty industry and have worked on dozens of campaigns involving influencers and have a pretty good idea of how much each category of influencers can charge
(edit. social blade actually says her daily average is $30 - $482 and her estimated earning in last 30 days was $903 - $14.4K)
actually, this is how i came across our lovely doctor - her review appeared on social mentions report for a product launch campaign i was working on, i randomly clicked it as i was curious what a derm would have to say and here i am almost a year later regularly lurking here
(she gave it a fair review - an OK product but not necessary)
as i am a skincare freak myself she kept appearing in my recommended videos but i never actually managed to watch more than a couple of minutes because she is so repetitive, boring and looking at her body felt disturbing. my first thought was she was ill. searched the comment section - nothing.
i had no idea about the vlogs at that time, youtube only pushed skincare videos to me. i finally watched one video, the drunk elephant review, couldn't help myself and googled dr.dray anorexic and here i am.
and now i actually watch more dr.dray than ever and read here regularly. i am torn between despising her duplicity and her audacity to do what she does and feeling sorry for her as she is actually a mentally ill person and needs help. all the unethical and arrogant and damaging things she does - it's her disorder.
sometimes i feel second hand shame watching her vlogs. i feel sorry for how deeply empty and boring her life is and feel embarrassment for her that she feels it's worth broadcasting. obviously, being a youtube influencer is now a fixation for her, just like her sun protection, OCD, germ phobia and eating disorder is.
but i agree she's a bad bad influence, should be stopped and should be forced in some way to get help instead of broadcasting her illness daily.
