Totally agree. A couple small influencers on Youtube I love and recommend:
- Haya Glamazon
- Kim LuxMom
- OxanaLV
- Shela Sparkles
- Sasa Zoe
I find some of the micro influencers to be even more annoying because they’re trying to build an audience to get those sponsorships. I think they still try to do link selling. Doesn’t sasa Zoe (btw sasa may appear micro but think she’s been on sm for a while)?
The click baits are even worse than established influencers in some cases - huge surprised open mouth expression with “biggest luxury haul ever” title. (And then they unbox five twillies, pair of Oran or chpyre, and nail polish.) I don’t know all of these micro influencers but at least one is a major flexer who is imo super greedy about bags and has a shopping addiction (saw her try for multiple bags in Paris even after being told no more qb after she already got one and has multiple H profiles but then she sometimes posts prespend in an h fb group - always interesting when I see instagrammers flex and then they’re selling items on fb not realizing that they’re pretty recognizable). another comes across as some h expert (even sharing advice right off of tpf) when she doesn’t even live anywhere near a boutique.
Right now imo there’s a desert for refreshing h shopping content. Maybe it’s due to the oversaturation of the brand on sm. I’ve even had to block some channels. It’s not like the old days where there was more honesty and sharing a love of H with a mix of humility. A lot of the old school influencers now shopping h have changed. They come across with a bit of attitude and there’s so much link selling and sponsorship; they've lost their authenticity.
The newcomers just constantly flex flex flex. Look at what I bought . . . How much I spent (even pulling out receipts and adding up amounts) . . . Another chypre or oran. Look at my h Rtw outfit thrown together with all logos and no sense of style/taste just another lemming. I saw one MI not listed here post about a cdc gold bangle she bought and asking whether she would have bought it if not for wanting a qb. Of course the answer is no - duh!
Even Sophie shohet who I used to like watching has been very meh lately with her H shopping content.
