I got rid of my Sassy collection! SASSY! FORMER ME YOU ARE AN IDIOT

2/10. Try harder next time.

Yup. When I was 22 I was immature and stupid, but when it backfired on me I learned to grow up and not be so stupid. I didn’t go around telling people they couldn’t get mad at me for being stupid because my prefrontal cortex was not yet fully cooked.

Why are so many people defending her here? I know this is jezebel, and it has skewered younger for years now as older commenters run for the hills, but god damn, they actually think this woman actually does something. I can shit in a toliet all day and produce more content.

She’s not an adolescent. The grown men don’t need excusing. They called out this spoiled brat for what she is.

“ they made fun of her”

Oh cut it out with the stupid infantilization of this woman. She is 22 fucking years old. A fucking adult.

Roger Ebert always paid his own money for a ticket for the movies he reviewed (exceptions for film festivals where he was an invited guest.) He couldn’t have had his reviews trusted if he watched them for free.

Yup. Where I work we get hundreds of requests a year for donations and sponsorships and we couldn’t stay in business if we just joyfully shoveled out free goods to all comers. We have a special email request page on our website and we warn all askers that it can take two to three weeks to respond.

I’m 56 and she can piss off. It’s one thing if a business approaches you and offers a barter for a good review (although I think that’s a shitty way to do ‘journalism’), but straight up asking for free shit? Like she doesn’t have enough dollars coming in via Youtube?

OK, I gave it a second try, and I STILL cannot watch that chica on video for longer than 3 seconds. The voice, the shitty editing, the flailing, the “take a million words to say absolutely nothing” speech pattern. Girl, get a fucking job.

Lots of that in LA. Beverly Hills retail space is empty everywhere you look. Yet there’s a two block stretch of Robertson Blvd with 14 (!) “nail salons”. (Surely 10 of which are just fronts for something lucrative enough to pay Beverly Hills rent)

... and if it’s Valentine’s Day weekend, what makes her think that any pretty hotel isn’t already going to be booked solid at premium rates, and what makes her think they’d give her a freebie on one of their big moneymaking times of the year?

She totally Streisanded herself.... and I’ll bet she did it on purpose, too. The whole “oh poor traumatized me, muh anxiety muh Xanax” act is expected, but she’s rolling in new FaceTube subscribers or whatever it is she gets paid in.

It wasn’t in good faith. This wasn’t a business transaction. Which part of this would have been “mutually beneficial” for the Inn? She has a piddly number of largely underage followers with little to no disposable income, much less desire, to go to such a place, and her IG is mostly selfies and navel-gazing bullshit;…

This is not a good faith request, though. She’s not asking for a gift in kind, she’s asking for payment (a free room for multiple nights, totalling hundreds of dollars) for a positive review. Despite being unethical, it’s also probably not worth the hotel’s time.

Eh, I think it was NBD until she made a video talking about how people over 30 don’t understand the social media economy. Then it escalated.

But, even being assholes, there would have been practically zero press about this had she not decided to whine to the world about it.

I’m genuinely curious; how often do you do it and what type of things/businesses do you promote? I’m in sales and marketing so I’m judged on: I did X which influenced Y which made us Z dollars as a result.

I’d seriously love one of those t-shirts. Think I should get in touch with White Moose to see if they’d send me one in exchange for mention on my Instagram?
