I agree and one can be very ambitious and great at their work but never break six figures due to where they are in the country, or the industry even (education comes to mind in many cases) so while I think it’s fair she shares her experience, it does seem a little pompous to say in that way. I have only watched a few but it seems she’s trying to prove something, maybe against allegations that she has a shopping problem and make sure we all know she can “more than afford it”.

a new YouTuber to me, Haya Glamazon, i thought would be worth sharing here. She has interesting videos and talks about luxury and fashion news/history without a lot of the pomp of sponsored ads or unboxing. I believe she is located in Tanzania too so it’s really cool to learn about the way luxury is seen and acquired there. I like her low key approach and I appreciate that she has her own business but does YouTube for fun. I’ve definitely learned from her videos and had some good laughs (she regularly shared snarky reviews about things like Hermes but also sheds light into how things work and why one may have differing experiences)
Haya Glamazon is amazing! Sooo knowledgable and I feel like every one of her videos is super up to date and informative. I also appreciate how she's not doing an unboxing every other video.
 
i like kats videos, never knew fashionably amy is old enough to have a teenager! she looks like a teen herself, aging well :biggrin:
I enjoy Kat’s videos too.. I think some are good / some can get repetitive and you just have to take it with a pinch of salt as the there is only so many things you can say about the same topic.
Also I believe it is Amy’s husband’s daughter from his previous relationship.. not her own biological daughter.
 
On a separate note, as much as I enjoy watching so many unboxing from Maria draganova - I wonder what her profession is as she shops so much! Lucky for her but either way.. it’s a lot of shopping. And Je Suis Lou bought another CF.. again for a 25 year old student fully supporting herself with no help from family wow.. again absolutely a contrast to my student days when I was carrying DKNY bags and that was a splurge haha

im convinced je suis lous bags are fake...come on...when things look unrealistic, they probably are

mhmm really? Somehow I don’t think so.. it’s a huge platform to be on and it’s a community built on recommendations etc so how can one flaunt fake bags? I think it’s real but just curious on how someone is able to fund without any help from family as a student that’s it.

Not sure if it’s a vlog or a q&a story but she said that she has Youtube income, affiliate links income (though i’m sure this does not contribute greatly), instagram sponsorships (?) and she works as an e-commerce marketer. She is a night student btw. Actually for the number of followers she have on YT, I am not really sure if she’s getting paid that much. But actually she needs to buy luxury stuff since that’s her content if she won’t buy then there’s nothing to vlog about :graucho:

In one recent video, Mink4all revealed that she didn't make much from Youtube. Most of the fund for her bags comes from savings. I know she doesn't do sponsorships so she probably doesn't make as much as Je Suis Lou but still, I think Lou is so fake. There is no way a 25 year old student could afford a house like that with lux everything from pillows to shoes to extremely expensive handbags and all the travels without support from anyone else. She can defend herself all she wants but I'm not gonna buy it. I was a Master's student with a fulltime job. I could barely afford a Neverfull back then. So many bills to pay for. There is just no way. I read about her in another forum and some people living in the same city as her confirmed there is no way a student could afford a lux life like that in Mexico. People need to stop lying and pretending they're super rich and it's all because of hard work. We all work hard but some are more fortunate to have wealthy parents, there's nothing wrong with it. Idon't know why they have to hide it and claim everything is earned by hard work :-s Someone even reported she bought followers so the numbers don't really reflect how much she actually makes. We don't know.

Also, I don't think she wears fake bags, but she hides things which is shady. In a video she shared she didn't do anything to her hair, that's how she saved up to buy a bag. But come on, how much is a bag? 9k usd? 12k? how many salon visits does she need to give up to make up for the bags? not to mention how often she buys her bags, shoes, random lux stuff... and everything she buys is the most high-end (classic flaps, birkin, kelly... not cheap at all). How many people making 6 figures here can actually buy some of those bags a year at her rate? She's just a student! It does not make sense at all.

In my student days, I thought to myself I was "cool" as hell when I was carrying DKNY and Tommy Hilfiger bags:happydance::lol: Then, I "upgraded" myself to Coach and Dooney & Bourke when I graduated and got my first job :lol::yahoo:

I think they are maybe from her friends and family and she pretends she owns them for videos. It was only recenetly that a YouTuber I follow started to say that many of the Chanel bags she showed belonged to her mother and not her. She started to shop Hermes recently and was getting mini Kelly's and Birkin 25s and I was like.. whaaaa? Then she came clean and said it was all her mom's stuff. People who watch videos just believe what they see and don't even realize they are looking at fakes or loaners or bags that don't belong to the people showing them. Like you said - when it's too much to be real, it's probably not.

I don't even think she has wealthy parents. She has what is called debt :giggle:
 
There is so much fakery on social media. (My agency works with influencer-brand partnerships.)

I need to hold back before I write a whole essay. But influencers make a tooooon of money or close to nothing. There's no in-between really. I get so many emails from influencers begging for free stuff, from furniture for their homes to free vacations, to present a lifestyle online that there's no way they can pay for themselves. When you ask them for performance metrics to show they actually influence purchase decisions, they gaff and claim that it takes soooo much effort to create the content that no one is asking them to make.

There can be serious money to be made in influencing if you hit that top percentage for views, engagement, followers, etc. Some people will go into debt (or have a partner/parents bankroll them) and justify it as a business expense to get started before they can be offered freebies for content, reach the level where the social platforms pay for performance, and can broker sponsored content.

There's also a dark side to influencing (more in the fashion and travel sphere) that's also linked to sex work, which is pretty gross. People are so desperate to have new things to reveal or to show an enviable lifestyle full of traveling they enter into transactional relationships.

I'll watch videos and Reels like anyone else, but you can't take these lifestyles seriously.

(Usually, the influencers who choose to remain anonymous but show off their personal collections, but keep their homes/kids/location private for safety reasons tend to be the real deal.)
