Our resident gremlin is back on her bullshit about wanting to school brands (and viewers!) about how best to work with influencers so that ads feel organic.
She is so self important, I can’t even. Who does she think she is?! She is absolutely not an expert in the subject. Her manager at Gleam probably has a broader view on the subject so she has some legitimacy, but Lily deems her experience as an influencer so dismal that she wants to lecture brands on how to better treat her?!?! WHAT?
And the reason she only shops at Topshp is because she has a voucher. God forbid she would actually do some research and test brands that cater to a wider range of.body types. And whatever happened to her friend Debs? She should ask her to help out because everything she picked was horrendous and not just because they were too small
Thank you! It seriously grinds my gears when she does this. Frankly, I also don't know why she thinks it's appropriate to talk to her viewers about this (remember when she did that whole ass video about working with brands?). Her job is to create 'content' for us—what goes on behind the scenes is her problem, not her audience's. When I go to the bakery I expect the baker to just give me my bread, and not go on to explain to me everything that happens in the backroom (eg how they work with their suppliers) for them to be able to deliver me the final product, let alone lecture me on how things could be improved. All I care about is that my bread tastes good! (or in her case, that the content is good)
Anyway, I can't stand how condescending she is on this topic. She thinks brands are stupid (because they don't know anything about this "new industry"), her viewers are stupid (because they don't understand how brand partnerships work), other influencers don't do it the right way either (because they aren't "honest" and "authentic" about doing ads like she is), only Ms. Lily Pebbles understands it all, you know, because she has a BA in Marketing and PR from Birmingham City!
She really just wants to be able to take in as many ads as possible (and $$$) without getting backlash from her viewers, and when that doesn't work out she tries to put the blame on everyone but herself (eg "it's not my fault that you guys didn't like this Special K ad! It's the brand's fault because they gave me directions and didn't let me introduce the ad organically into my content! They just don't know anything about YouTube marketing!")
