yes! I came across Lou's guru gossip page sometime last year when I just typed in her name to find her insta. Curious as I am I had to have a look. People there screenshotted several of her GoFundMe's (she had another sailing related one) and they dug up all sorts of other information from the internet (slightly creepy!). Had a little bit of a shock as I initially bought into her sweet girl persona. I still watch her from time to time to see what is new in her collection (usually quite a lot haha). She has a really nice collection but I just cannot see past her shadiness and curated personality. Just be real girl, there is nothing wrong with coming from a wealthy family.

Style-wise she reminds me of Alyssa Lenore who I also used to like but as many others have said here- everything in her life is just sponsored or about how to get more sponsor deals.

I just read through that too and had to laugh at ‘…or her family is tied to the narcos’ as a reason for her wealth/bag purchases
I was working backwards from her old videos only last week but after getting to the most recent & reading all this, I’m not as big of a fan!
That said, I watch these YT videos to be entertained. When I need specific advice on a purse, I search for reviews/mod shots etc, but I’m mostly just watching blithely for entertainment.

Yes, I used to like her when she just started out and watched most of her videos until her spending habits and lifestyle just didn't add up at all to what she was saying. Just be transparent or don't say anything at all. I really don't like when YTs like her imply with their "no, no, I just work SOO hard and don't get my hair done tihiii" answers that their viewers are naive. I don't care if they don't reveal their job/income situation, that is their right of privacy but don't act like we are stupid. Also the nerve of starting several go fund me's and a sailing patreon to fund more bags and expensive hobbies/lifestyle....yikes. But Lou is of course not the only one who is doing that.

What why should subscribers pay to fix her boat when she is buying birkins.
Youtubers have spoilt the purpose of gofundme honestly!
There are millions of people who truly need money ! Wow !! subscribers who pay are real idiots

 

[CrazyCool01]

I also really love that Lou had a boating/yachting channel and begged their 3000 subbies over there to send her and her bf money via gofundme. They wanted to renovate their boat. They are both rich but have absolutely no shame to ask for more money. How about selling some of your 9472876472 Hermes and Chanel bags? She got called out on another forum and of course deleted the gofundme. That's all I need to know about her character. Her nice-down to earth persona is so obviously fake.

Wow !! Ridiculous

That is absurd !! Pretty insulting. Sad how people abuse GoFund me like that when there’s people out there in serious need. Same as you, I used to watch both Lou and Alyssa’s channel, but I was definitely turned off by Lou’s “I’m just a poor Uni student who scrapes and saves” BS - like you said, we’re not stupid, that math doesn’t add up.

I was also *super* turned off by AL when she was complaining (sometime last year I think) about how hard she works and the long hours as an influencer. As someone who routinely has to work long hours for my job I found that so insulting - girl we watch you on IG stories wake up at 10am and lounge around watching K-dramas and then pop into the city to shop as your job?! Like obviously I’m slightly bitter that someone gets paid to live a life of luxury lol but you definitely don’t need to turn around and complain about it to your subscribers who have very demanding “real” jobs. Ok end of rant lol I do feel kind of bad she seems nice enough but … let’s all own up to our entitlements and privileges.

Now it looks everyone is promoting their Farfetch code. Anyone else notice that?

Everyone has a farfetch sponsorship - no commission on the code but they get paid for the sponsorship and free product (via gift card to buy stuff on the farfetch website). They state it as "gifts" but really, it is free goods for them to promote

Everyone also has code and/or sponsorship for Samorga, Lilysilk, Ana Luisa, Zoomoni, Mommesilk, Anzie, Urban Revivo, etc.

i forgot Karma and just remembered when i saw lvlovercc's latest video aka "haul". Isn't it rediciulous for youtubers to say they have "hauls". Who hauls loads of designer goods/boxes? Rich people do, but they just call it shopping. Not hauls. LOL

yes, it is ridiculous. It is not a Shein or Asos "haul" but designer goods. She shops like she was at a discount store. She seems to have a mental problem/ shopping addiction just like Mel in Melbourne. It is not enjoyable for me to watch "luxury haul" videos like that because luxury for me is something special, something to treasure- not some cheap haulable item.

I agree that she is at a crossroads for her channel. I was a little put off by her latest video that was essentially an ad disguised as a shopping haul…put a bad taste in my mouth as it seems to contradict her previous videos.

Also there was one video that Super Dacob commented on and I agree with his viewpoint. She said that money was “locked in” her bags and was upset she lost money on luxury items when she sold them. Well, if you used the items you are not really losing money. It’s great if you can recoup some of your money when you sell luxury items but honestly, it is a product that is meant to be used. Most people sell their items at a loss, and I have issue with this mentality because it’s a bit deceitful as regular folks (without YouTube channels) then think they should be able to make money on used items when in reality that is very rare. Ok, rant over.

I agree, bags are meant to be used and are not investment items. It's great if you can recuperate the initial outlay but it shouldn't be the main aim in my opinion. I once disliked a Sophie Shohet video because it felt like it was so focused on the resale value rather than the aesthetics of the bag. Although, now she's one of my most watched you tubers because of the variety of videos that she has. The mail time segment can be long, but at least she's making an effort to connect with her viewers. She did mention that she's more than just bags and luxury but it's the unboxing videos that are the most popular. It's a vicious cycle really, as a you tuber do you spend all this effort making videos that no one wants to watch or produce videos that your viewers want to view?

Due to the commercialistic nature of our society, the more viewers you have the more marketing offers you would attract and I can imagine it would be difficult to keep on turning these opportunities down.

Catwalk City did a video detailing how her consumption had increased over the last 2 years, which gave me the biggest reality check and I realised that I should be consciously selecting what social media I should be consuming rather than mindlessly steaming youtube all the time.

Anyone willing to bet that catwalkcity os asking all this about work tote bag and then later gonna tell us

“THIS AMAZING WORK TOTE I FOUND FROM XXXX BRAND!”? It can fit laptop, low key but high quality with some tory burch pricin. Durable, environmentally friendly, blah blah blah lots of pockets.

Is it the weekend because I feel it coming. She’s going to advertise something, or be sponsored a bag or whatever then do a review and a promo code.

She ended up selling the Chanel work tote that she bought in the end...

Just thought of sharing this video (in response to hrh’s video on cancelling luxury bags)

 

[lallybelle]

hrh Alex is a freaking lunatic.

 

[Foggy_Wombat]

hrh Alex is a freaking lunatic.

I haven't watched any of her videos during the last couple of years but not much changed as it seems: still unhinged, throwing tantrums, having a full blown discussion with the voices she hears and cussing out her viewers. I wonder if that is her "brand" and she is friendly and socially adapted IRL haha (maybe not, who knows).

 

[Greedy Panda]

Slightly unrelated. I really enjoy these videos by Vogue. Celebs do whats in my bag and it seems so genuine. No sponsorship content. No drama. A few of them showed their Chanel bags. I am loving Chanel bag that this celeb is carrying. I dont know her but cute bag!



Just search Vogue in the bag.

Have you seen the Miranda Kerr one?? She's gorgeous and she certainly knows how to promote her products
