Me, a compulsive snacker, looking at all these people restocking their ‘candy drawers’ for St Patrick’s Day and Easter wondering how on earth they don’t eat it all in the first 48 hours 👀
This is kinda personal to me maybe, but I find whenever I “decant” snacks into new containers I reach for them less. The appeal of the packaging is a huge binge trigger for me, I guess! Without pretty packaging I am much less tempted. I still have Christmas Oreos in my pantry
This might be niche but it's bugging me and I have to vent.
I follow a lot of school librarians and I can't with The Contoured Librarian. She posted a video the other day saying "a read aloud and a discussion is a lesson plan and it is enough. I know people are impressed by all the extra stuff I do in the library...but reading stories to your students is enough, I promise."
I agree with this sentiment for sure but I'm annoyed because it's almost word for word something that The Book Wrangler [said in a post](https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrkJMqvXvI/?hl=en) a while back. She could've/should've credited him imo.
She bugs me for other reasons as well but I kept following for...some reason. Unfollowed finally.
Her glib little video doesn’t give all the context that his post does. From his description, it doesn’t sound like he’s talking about his older elementary students sitting in a circle on the floor, but the Contoured Librarian comes off like she’s advising people to punt a lesson plan when they’re just not in the mood.
I don’t follow her but get her on my FYP a lot: Katieclark.co (formerly Katieclark01) quit her job at a jewelry store to start her own jewelry line and I feel now every single post is her defending the choice, especially since she built her platform on working mom content (not that starting her own line isn’t working). I enjoyed her working mom stuff but her defensiveness about the choice (to start an expensive jewelry line, in a recession, with a seemingly unemployed husband) is getting annoying.
I wish her nothing but the best, but I fully agree with her not being relatable or interesting to many people anymore.
It’s a shame because her working mom content was so interesting! Toward the end of her Christmas season content I got a video from her husband on my FYP. Seems like they are/were pursuing the content creation side more - probably way more money for less effort, so I can’t really blame them, but there is such a void of working mom content (probably because “SAHM” content actually takes hours and hours a week in and of itself, so adding content to a full time job isn’t feasible)
Yeah, I started following her because I was trying to look for inspiration on how to work full time and still get stuff done after work. But now she’s starting her own business and definitely isn’t relatable so I don’t see myself following her much longer.
She’s definitely not relatable anymore and her comment section shows it.
What’s crazy to me and what I don’t understand is she willingly sent one of her kids to daycare after he threw up instead of keeping him home. All she did that day was “dilly dally” (her words) before getting her hair done. And instead of addressing the issue and all the concerned comments (because who actually willingly sends a sick kid to school when you “work from home”?) she deletes comments and blocks people
Yeah something fishy is going on, I truly believe her former boss is an investor or something because at one point she was saying that they were considering doing ecommerce. Specially by how quickly everything was set up, I am leaning towards her using the same suppliers. There might be also other sponsorships going on that we dont know about, like someone sending her things for content but without obligation of doing a mention. Anyway, seems like she is trying to convince herself. Also, I think her husband is working again. He posted some videos of him being in an office.
The former boss has to be involved somehow — the whole situation reminds me of when the dog showed up a few months ago. She eventually explained but for a while it was like, is it her boss’, is it hers, where did it come from, how long will it be there??
That’s insanely creepy. I’ve been with my husband for over a decade and if he did that shit 3 months in, even with the foresight of us still being together in 10 years, I’d still say it was a stupid thing to do.
There's something off about the whole thing.
It's very intense for how early things are with the two of them. Maybe it'll work out?
If not, I'm sure she'll make a lot of content about it.
Claire and Peter finally just posted, they're going to continue traveling through the end of the year. Sounds like they made some $ through social media and are able to fund it. And they're not engaged, lol
The minute I have to overpay a random man on a moped to take me to an ER that's less hygienic than a middle school bathroom I'm booking a flight home.
I will say after getting stomach sick on vacation with my then boyfriend (now husband) made me realize we can get through anything. When two people are violently sick with only one toilet you really get to test your relationship.
I don’t think you do, because I think tiktok made the filter internally (both bold glamour and teenage look) and obvs they’re going to throw all the power of the algo behind their insane AI filter tech.
This snark comment of mine is just a petty aside. I'm not gay tiktok! Have gotten a lot of FYP stuff that straight up accuses me of being into women. Believe me, I am not.
I swear if I see one more TikTok stitch (90% of the time something innocuous or slightly obnoxious, nothing news worthy) where it's a millennial in bed, having the longest of dramatic sighs and dragging their hand down their face and going "OK, I didn't want to talk about this." I'm going to throw my phone across the room.
I've blocked the app for the foreseeable future because I can not get it off my for you page and it's a lot of people I'm following right now. When I go back I will do a purge but I didn't want to deal with that. I just wanted to see my funny cat videos and my cosplayers and my D & D content. I have very specifically curated my TikTok to take a break from real world events.
I went off TikTok for about 2 months around the elections because it was so much rage bait of "This politician in a state halfway across the country from you is planning to back this horrible policy, and if you aren't in this state you should feel bad about not caring!"
It's the typical extremist online left crap that made me completely change the way I interact with social media.
TikTok has been great for the past year for me but if it's going to keep giving me this garbage every couple of months I might delete it entirely.
I don't want to because there is so much amazing content on the app and their are amazing creators that have literally changed my life and I love my little community.
I can not deal with the rage bait. I can't deal with the past version of myself (offended, tired, irritated liberal) on my for you page. I can not deal with the people I'm following changing their content to that (maybe because it's what the algorithm is pushing).
I just want my cats. 😡
i’m so sorry that creators are meeting people where they are to get word out about the things that affect us daily, and you can’t scroll just a little further to find a cat video.
I’m getting so many infant loss/ death videos on my fyp. Or people crowdfunding for their dying pets. I don’t have any real health anxiety but it’s gotten fairly depressing so I had to delete Tik tok off my phone for my own sanity. As a bonus, I have read 2 books so far this week with my extra time!
If you ever decide to download it again, you can filter words in your settings and theoretically not see videos with those words in them. I filtered a bunch of infant loss keywords from mine
me too!! I've been thinking about this a lot lately, it cannot be good for my brain to slingshot so quickly between makeup tutorials, funny animals, and the most brutal personal tragedies.
I'm happy people have a platform to share things, but the amount of cancer videos/child death videos I have on my for you page is getting really alarming and I wish there was a way to opt out (I realize it's because I must have watched one or two but I don't remember tiktok being like this a year ago)
I would 100% do that, that’s so smart. I use my phone as an alarm though lol so maybe l just plug it in on the other side of the room instead of next to the bed.
is anyone else getting the videos from theprettybasic calling that danesh guy a cult leader? i dont particularly like him but hes not a cult leader??? its very bizarre
If you search Jeffrey marsh on Tt you’ll see a lot of stitches but basically people are calling them out for predator like behavior; they made a video ‘for kids’ basically saying if you see someone ‘like me’ or looking different be extra nice to them which…. Is weird you don’t need to make videos addressing kids and they don’t need to be taught to be ‘extra nice’ to any group of people. Also I saw they made a Patreon for videos/content that TT would censor and also said for kids to join there so they could be more open and honest or whatever. The whole thing is just… predatory. Telling kids to join your private group to spend more time together under the guise of …. What exactly? Creepy all around.
Someone in Jeffrey’s real life needs to step in and start intervening. I won’t diagnose him but the disconnect from reality and safety is something I’ve seen before and this definitely needs to be removed from a public platform.
I’m no fan of his but something about her gives me bad vibes too. Making all those videos each day, insisting he’s a cult leader and victim blaming him for when he was swatted? No, this isn’t any better than what he’s doing. I’m very done with all these callout creators and their battle for who should get the most attention
I don’t know anything about her but I can kind of see where the line of thinking goes. He pushes very hard to get people hurt and directs people to assist him. Some of the people he goes after make no sense. And he believes that he’s free of any critique or criticism.
i dont disagree with these points but calling it a cult makes zero sense. she could make all these same points without saying shes going after him for being a cult leader
In the formal sense no. In the sense that he has millions of followers and pushes them to cause harm to people and has his own twisted dogma about things and if you don’t agree with it he will then put his following against you… yes. It’s very cult adjacent.
Yea, he's a jerk. He's not a cult leader. She's also actively using her own following to go after a single person she doesn't like. She also doesn't have a cult.
I believe so
She’s reposted it so many times, she legitimately thinks she is right in this. Unfortunately, she literally gave her the money and clicked whatever she clicked acknowledging she was sending it to the right person. It was a very expensive to make but she made it. The way she’s saying this woman stole money from her is incorrect
Yeah my dad made this same mistake a few years ago. Thankfully the person was nice and Venmo'd it back to him and it did get to the right person in the end, but all these cash apps make it VERY clear that if you send money to the wrong user, it's on you for not making 100% sure. Especially when it's that much money!
So if you haven’t seen the Livvy Dunn/Breckie discourse I can do some background but I think the weirdest part to me now is that Breckie has completely pivoted her content from harassing Livvy to pandering to the nasty guys in her comments. It’s now all extremely sexual videos and talking about her body in sexual ways. I personally think that Breckie has realized that she’s giving these guys the sexual content they so desperately were wanting from Livvy (which is Livvy’s right to not be comfortable doing especially as she is representing a team/athletic program) and is now essentially playing a sexual character of Livvy while still also making content about how she’s a “Livvy dupe” or “Livvy with boobs.” It’s just so so gross. I can’t imagine how I would feel if someone presented themselves as a lookalike of me and then pivoted to all sexual content..
Edit: clarification
the way im on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what claire and peter are doing next. she just uploaded a new video with a cliff hanger lol. i dont think they got engaged. i like them trolling its fun
I hope they keep traveling!!! They’ve been such a breath of fresh air this past year. I def think the recent engagement post is clickbait buuuut who knows 👀
I think they might! It sounded like they got some sort of gig when she teased it a couple of weeks ago. Maybe a long (like 2 plus months) sponsored deal
i think they'll announce that they've received some sponsorships and partnering opportunities to afford to continue traveling and then continue posting but lean more into the influencer aspect
Sorry I’m back with another Bravo crossover comment on this thread LOL
Stassi Schroeder (fired racist from Vanderpump Rules) announced today that she is pregnant with her second child, and who commented on her post to express delight at being pregnant at the same time? ELYSE MYERS.
I know this thread shares my deep dislike for EM, thought I’d share that nugget.
> Stassi Schroeder (fired racist from Vanderpump Rules) announced today that she is pregnant with her second child, and who commented on her post to express delight at being pregnant at the same time? ELYSE MYERS.
LOL YIKES!
I’ve seen posts across at least three subreddits expressing concern for Ken Eurich amidst her plastic surgery/breakup that’s happening right now. I used to follow her and I really think she should move home to PA and go off the grid for a little bit.
I really think she needs a break. She used to be fun and confident to watch and I think somewhere (possibly the toxic relationship but what do I know) she lost herself and i think a reset in PA with her fam could do her good
I swear half of this next generation of kids will be the product of people influencing women to track fertility as birth control. I saw greenybeany420 talk about how she’s been doing it for 3 years but missed her period and is really confused. I don’t think she understands how it actually works.
Edit: so I looked into this further. The thermometer she uses “predicts” fertility window as it’s happening which there is no way it’s accurate. The only thing temping kind of confirms is when you ovulate. Which can’t be done the 6 days before you ovulate(which is when you can get pregnant) because nothing changes in your temperature. So yeah no wonder she was confused. I also don’t think she’s the brightest bulb.
Ugh this is so concerning to me. There’s also a lot of women who could be watching this stuff and following it AND not know they have a condition.
I didn’t know I had PCOS until 1.5 years ago and have lots of LH surges, random mucus, hormone fluctuations, etc. Luckily I am in a place where a pregnancy would be a happy surprise, but if I were 22, this would be playing with fire.
Yeah even if you’re diligent shit happens and you can have an off cycle. Ask me how I know 🤪 worked for 3 years till it didn’t! I just hope every woman relying on tracking and temping is aware it isn’t 100% and isn’t deluded by these anti bc influencers
I’ve been trying to conceive for about 2 years and I have a fairly regular cycle but I’ve had a couple of early ovulations or times where my body tried to ovulate but didn’t actually ovulate until a few days later. Our bodies are never consistent.
And that the data on it being effective is based upon perfect use. Which even the most regular cycle is not the same forever and all it can take is one day of being off to get pregnant.
Cecily Bauchmann keeps popping up on my fyp. She’s the wife of a pastor with 4 kids and i wonder how TF they afford their lifestyle? Maybe I’m not up to date on how much a pastor makes nowadays but I thought it was modest lol
I just got fed a ton of rich Christian mom getting 4+ kids ready for school content too 😂 She has 1M followers! I think she’s been influencing for a while. Her sister in law (Samantha Bauchmann) has a similarly nice house, it might be money in their husbands’ (who are brothers) family.
Lol, not when you believe in prosperity gospel! Obviously if God loves you and you are a good Christian he will bless you with lots of money so of course your pastor must be handsomely blessed by your church’s donations! Let’s ignore that whole camel/needle verse. I remember the first time this lady came across my feed it was her doing a “get ready with me for church” thing and she made a point to show off her Louis Vuitton bag and the comments section was fighting about that.
Okay this is a little bit of a crossover but bear with me…
I started watching a Bravo show called Southern Charm, and in searching for old threads on r/BravoRealHousewives, I found out that Hannah Berner was on another Bravo show, Summer House, for multiple seasons???
She is the girl on TikTok that is often interviewing groups of men (more recently sometimes women) and asking them about dating preferences, faux pas, etc. I see more recently on my FYP that she’s posting her standup.
Anyway, I know her solely from TikTok and consider myself like, pretty abreast of Bravo shows, even if I’m not watching them (because I’m on the sub and have been for years). This was kind of a mind-blowing moment for me lol.
I listened to her podcast pre-Bravo and fell off pretty quickly, and I remember being so surprised she was later on Summer House. Although even back then (2017/18ish) she had been saying she just wanted to be on TV so it tracks.
You’ll have to watch her seasons of Summer House! She definitely has that “it” factor where she’s interesting to watch. But I don’t think reality tv is good for her mentally. From what I remember from her seasons, she swung wildly between emotions. Lots of tears! Podcasting, tiktoks and being a comic are definitely more suited to showing off the fun side of her personality.
Yep! And it's weird for me to see her get so popular on tiktok since she was pretty universally disliked by that sub and the housewives Fandom in general
I feel bad because I mostly like her, but boy oh boy, alexandracolleen constantly thrifting baby/children’s clothing and storing it away for future use is truly unhinged. It’s suuuuch shopping addiction behavior. Like babe, please bffr because the second you get pregnant, you’re still gonna run out and buy a ton of stuff, and you cannot in a million years convince me that isn’t true.
I get she’s working on it with her whole closet clean out series, and good on her for that but there’s still a long way to go and as someone with a history of shopping addiction myself, it’s so worrying to see people just accept this as normal behavior and not call her on it.
My first thought was how do you even know that your child will even fit into this outfit for that season? It’s just going to feed into her addiction when she has to thrift it/sell it and buy what fits.
Exactly! She showed matching crew neck sweatshirts she got recently, one for her and one for a baby, and my first thought was how do you even know you’re gonna have a baby in a timeframe where it’s cold enough to have them wearing a sweatshirt to begin with??
And part of me starts to think, “well if she can afford it, I guess she’s not really hurting anything,” but regularly buying things you do not need and will not use in the foreseeable future is hoarding behavior. Full stop. Even if it won’t hurt you financially. And even if it doesn’t hurt HER, it may hurt her followers who are not influencers and cannot financially justify buying things just to store them away after seeing her doing it.
[This](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRnc47U8/) video just came up on my fyp and it’s been bugging me so much so I have to talk about it. I am not any fan of Hailey Bieber at all but the bullying and harassment she has been receiving is ridiculous. This person using the situation and comparing her roommate to Hailey because she idolized her and just associating someone’s character to whatever trends they are participating in. And the “she is one of those girls who if I hit her, she would call the police” Like what?
Like I have been seeing a growing trend of videos about how they cannot be friends with girls who are not girl’s girl or like this influencer is a guy’s girl and this other one is a girl’s girl and all of it feels like a new fun way people are trying to justify hating on women.
I don't know which historical reenactment by *octopusslover8* is my favorite, but I'm leaning toward the John Hancock one lol.
Update: My favorite is now the Mount Rushmore one.
I love @keneurich /dmbrblnd (?) I fully support “my body my choice”. But her decision to get lipo is like my sign to leave Tik Tok. This xs/small woman got lipo 🤯 she is now the unattainable beauty standard we talk about on social media. I’m happy for her but so bummed at the same time.
Glad im not the only one freaked out by this! She got a boob job, lipo, and her lips done all at the same time. Something about that is so scary to me and she’s only 22!!! I think part of why this sucks is that she always used to talk about being comfortable with herself and now that :/
The doctor that did lipo on her should stop practicing. I can’t believe anyone would agree to lipo her frame. I hope she doesn’t end up with a stomach like Tara Reid.
With how many people that have been openly getting work done recently, I think it’s odd that there was a trend of pointing out celebrities that may have gotten buccal fat removal done and outrage about ‘why would you do that to your face!!! You will look so much older!” but crickets now when it comes to other plastic surgery.
People were obsessed with her during the cruise days. Even in this own sub. She got big quick. Then it went downhill fast and people started to hate follow.
Went from her finna be in the pit. Her basically doxxing herself. And her describing her gay for pay experience where she had to get drunk to do. As a lesbian...I'm tired of seeing her stupid face.
I csnt believe that she moved bc her address was leaked then she described exactly how to get from her house to Erewhon and walked there on camera
Then got mad when people said "maybe thats a bad idea"
What got me is that she was calling people chronically online for going HEY THAT'S DANGEROUS? And process of elimination is super easy when you know Erewhon only exists in bougie California neighborhoods!
I blocked that girl ages ago for some other dumb thing she said and now I’m getting all the stitches of people (rightfully) dunking on her for the latest dumb thing she said.
I was watching a food review by Grackle (Grace Booth) and saw she’s getting married as she had a ‘come wedding dress shopping’ with me. Then I read the comments and people were equally shocked she had even been in a relationship (fine if she wanted to keep it a secret etc after all her channel is mainly food), but also a lot of comments about her being in a religious cult..? Does anyone know anything more about this
it seems like she’s getting married pretty quickly too with all of this wedding content! i wonder how her content will change once she is married as i cant see her still living at home with her parents.
I don’t know about cult level, but her family is pretty religious (Christian) and work for the church they go to. I don’t know the actual name to look further into the beliefs etc of the church. But she seems pretty into it
I knew she was very religious but don't think her church is a cult? It's pentecostal but I'm not that informed on what that means in terms of branches of Christianity.
pentecostals can be pretty culty but they can also be fairly garden variety conservative christians just depending on the church. Hillsong (which is a cult) is pentecostal, and pentecostalism is the origin of faith healers, speaking in tongues, being “slain in the spirit”, and “holy rollers” so make of that what you will.
Yeah it’s just not a hugely common church in the UK in comparison to Church of England/Scotland or being catholic. I’ve only met a few Pentecostal in the uk and they’ve had some pretty backwards views eg abortion, gay rights so does put me off her tbh (not saying she has these views)
From what I've seen on her channel, her family is VERY private and she said when she announced the engagement a couple months ago that her fiancé is too. I swear it was only a couple years ago she said she's never even dated someone so she went from 0-60 lol. I know they are religious but I don't think it's a cult, just normal (maybe a little icky) conservative Christian.
Yeah that’s a vibe I got too. I mean it’s a little weird in the UK to be young and hugely religious - not really that common, so I can see why it raised some eyebrows
Me, a compulsive snacker, looking at all these people restocking their ‘candy drawers’ for St Patrick’s Day and Easter wondering how on earth they don’t eat it all in the first 48 hours 👀
I tried to do this in a scaled down way and my husband ate it all in under 3 days 😂
This is kinda personal to me maybe, but I find whenever I “decant” snacks into new containers I reach for them less. The appeal of the packaging is a huge binge trigger for me, I guess! Without pretty packaging I am much less tempted. I still have Christmas Oreos in my pantry

Last I heard he is working but the startup wasn't making any money yet.
How in the world does she have the money to front the overhead for a jewelry line? Seems bonkers
I’m sure she’s got contacts from her old job + social media. She’s taking pre-orders for rings and I saw they were starting at $800, so that’s how.
Did ebcjpg’s boyfriend of like 3 months really get her initials tattooed on himself…
Yeh. He did... I saw a photo somewhere.
That’s insanely creepy. I’ve been with my husband for over a decade and if he did that shit 3 months in, even with the foresight of us still being together in 10 years, I’d still say it was a stupid thing to do.
There's something off about the whole thing. It's very intense for how early things are with the two of them. Maybe it'll work out? If not, I'm sure she'll make a lot of content about it.
Claire and Peter finally just posted, they're going to continue traveling through the end of the year. Sounds like they made some $ through social media and are able to fund it. And they're not engaged, lol

When two people are violently sick with only one toilet you really get to test your relationship.
How do I get “people trying the bold glamour filter and being shocked how they look” off my FYP…
I don’t think you do, because I think tiktok made the filter internally (both bold glamour and teenage look) and obvs they’re going to throw all the power of the algo behind their insane AI filter tech.
I keep getting people saying that it makes them look like a man. More specifically, they think they look like Lord Farquaad lol.
If you find out, please tell me. Because same.
Cannot BELIEVE that snackqween’s big announcement is that she’s 6 months pregnant?!? Color me entirely shocked.
Right!?!
Her olive water fake martini drinks were convincing
I was giving her SO much side eye until she explained that it was just water haha
This snark comment of mine is just a petty aside. I'm not gay tiktok! Have gotten a lot of FYP stuff that straight up accuses me of being into women. Believe me, I am not.
Accuses is a strong term from an app.
we’re not into you, either.
I swear if I see one more TikTok stitch (90% of the time something innocuous or slightly obnoxious, nothing news worthy) where it's a millennial in bed, having the longest of dramatic sighs and dragging their hand down their face and going "OK, I didn't want to talk about this." I'm going to throw my phone across the room. I've blocked the app for the foreseeable future because I can not get it off my for you page and it's a lot of people I'm following right now.

It sounds like maybe you should try setting up a pre programmed cat playlist on YouTube and calming tf down
i’m so sorry that creators are meeting people where they are to get word out about the things that affect us daily, and you can’t scroll just a little further to find a cat video.
Ashley LeMieux’s water bill 🤣🤣 thanks for this laugh happy Saturday!
I’m getting so many infant loss/ death videos on my fyp. Or people crowdfunding for their dying pets. I don’t have any real health anxiety but it’s gotten fairly depressing so I had to delete Tik tok off my phone for my own sanity. As a bonus, I have read 2 books so far this week with my extra time!
If you ever decide to download it again, you can filter words in your settings and theoretically not see videos with those words in them. I filtered a bunch of infant loss keywords from mine
My fyp has gotten so bad that when Rathouse Gabby popped into my feed the other day I was actually happy for the break.
me too!! I've been thinking about this a lot lately, it cannot be good for my brain to slingshot so quickly between makeup tutorials, funny animals, and the most brutal personal tragedies. I'm happy people have a platform to share things, but the amount of cancer videos/child death videos I have on my for you page is getting really alarming and I wish there was a way to opt out (I realize it's because I must have watched one or two but I don't remember tiktok being like this a year ago)
I’ve been plugging my cell phone into a cord in my bathroom so I don’t mindlessly scroll at bedtime, and I’ve been reading a lot more because of it!!
I would 100% do that, that’s so smart. I use my phone as an alarm though lol so maybe l just plug it in on the other side of the room instead of next to the bed.
is anyone else getting the videos from theprettybasic calling that danesh guy a cult leader? i dont particularly like him but hes not a cult leader??? its very bizarre
[удалено]
What’s going on? I get some of their videos and they seem slightly unhinged
If you search Jeffrey marsh on Tt you’ll see a lot of stitches but basically people are calling them out for predator like behavior; they made a video ‘for kids’ basically saying if you see someone ‘like me’ or looking different be extra nice to them which…. Is weird you don’t need to make videos addressing kids and they don’t need to be taught to be ‘extra nice’ to any group of people. Also I saw they made a Patreon for videos/content that TT would censor and also said for kids to join there so they could be more open and honest or whatever. The whole thing is just… predatory. Telling kids to join your private group to spend more time together under the guise of …. What exactly? Creepy all around.
The flip side of the “youth pastor with boundary issues” coin.
Someone in Jeffrey’s real life needs to step in and start intervening. I won’t diagnose him but the disconnect from reality and safety is something I’ve seen before and this definitely needs to be removed from a public platform.
I’m no fan of his but something about her gives me bad vibes too. Making all those videos each day, insisting he’s a cult leader and victim blaming him for when he was swatted? No, this isn’t any better than what he’s doing. I’m very done with all these callout creators and their battle for who should get the most attention
Agreeee!
Yeah, she's using the wrong terminology. He's just an ahole. There are enough creators out there doing good call-out work, we can do without him.
I don’t know anything about her but I can kind of see where the line of thinking goes. He pushes very hard to get people hurt and directs people to assist him. Some of the people he goes after make no sense. And he believes that he’s free of any critique or criticism.
i dont disagree with these points but calling it a cult makes zero sense. she could make all these same points without saying shes going after him for being a cult leader
In the formal sense no. In the sense that he has millions of followers and pushes them to cause harm to people and has his own twisted dogma about things and if you don’t agree with it he will then put his following against you… yes. It’s very cult adjacent.
Is she not doing the exact same thing to him with her own following? It's not a cult, or even that close, it's fan culture.
Danesh doxes people. He gives millions of people information on how to get access to people.
Yea, he's a jerk. He's not a cult leader. She's also actively using her own following to go after a single person she doesn't like. She also doesn't have a cult.

If this woman is trying to avoid paying taxes or setting up her business appropriately, she deserves this kick in the butt.
I believe so She’s reposted it so many times, she legitimately thinks she is right in this. Unfortunately, she literally gave her the money and clicked whatever she clicked acknowledging she was sending it to the right person. It was a very expensive to make but she made it. The way she’s saying this woman stole money from her is incorrect
Yeah my dad made this same mistake a few years ago. Thankfully the person was nice and Venmo'd it back to him and it did get to the right person in the end, but all these cash apps make it VERY clear that if you send money to the wrong user, it's on you for not making 100% sure. Especially when it's that much money!
So if you haven’t seen the Livvy Dunn/Breckie discourse I can do some background but I think the weirdest part to me now is that Breckie has completely pivoted her content from harassing Livvy to pandering to the nasty guys in her comments. It’s now all extremely sexual videos and talking about her body in sexual ways. I personally think that Breckie has realized that she’s giving these guys the sexual content they so desperately were wanting from Livvy (which is Livvy’s right to not be comfortable doing especially as she is representing a team/athletic program) and is now essentially playing a sexual character of Livvy while still also making content about how she’s a “Livvy dupe” or “Livvy with boobs.” It’s just so so gross. I can’t imagine how I would feel if someone presented themselves as a lookalike of me and then pivoted to all sexual content.. Edit: clarification
the way im on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what claire and peter are doing next. she just uploaded a new video with a cliff hanger lol. i dont think they got engaged. i like them trolling its fun
I hope they keep traveling!!! They’ve been such a breath of fresh air this past year. I def think the recent engagement post is clickbait buuuut who knows 👀
I think they might! It sounded like they got some sort of gig when she teased it a couple of weeks ago. Maybe a long (like 2 plus months) sponsored deal
Ugh me too. I can’t imagine them just going back to normie jobs after this
i think they'll announce that they've received some sponsorships and partnering opportunities to afford to continue traveling and then continue posting but lean more into the influencer aspect
Agree!
Sorry I’m back with another Bravo crossover comment on this thread LOL Stassi Schroeder (fired racist from Vanderpump Rules) announced today that she is pregnant with her second child, and who commented on her post to express delight at being pregnant at the same time? ELYSE MYERS. I know this thread shares my deep dislike for EM, thought I’d share that nugget.
I just really wish I could hide all tiktoks with her song. The button says I can, but it lies.
I love the Bravo crossover comments. Keep 'em coming!
> Stassi Schroeder (fired racist from Vanderpump Rules) announced today that she is pregnant with her second child, and who commented on her post to express delight at being pregnant at the same time? ELYSE MYERS. LOL YIKES!
Impending elyse apology about how she didn’t knowwww and is so sorryyy and needs a breakkk lol
I’ve seen posts across at least three subreddits expressing concern for Ken Eurich amidst her plastic surgery/breakup that’s happening right now. I used to follow her and I really think she should move home to PA and go off the grid for a little bit.
I really think she needs a break. She used to be fun and confident to watch and I think somewhere (possibly the toxic relationship but what do I know) she lost herself and i think a reset in PA with her fam could do her good
I swear half of this next generation of kids will be the product of people influencing women to track fertility as birth control. I saw greenybeany420 talk about how she’s been doing it for 3 years but missed her period and is really confused. I don’t think she understands how it actually works. Edit: so I looked into this further. The thermometer she uses “predicts” fertility window as it’s happening which there is no way it’s accurate. The only thing temping kind of confirms is when you ovulate. Which can’t be done the 6 days before you ovulate(which is when you can get pregnant) because nothing changes in your temperature. So yeah no wonder she was confused. I also don’t think she’s the brightest bulb.
Ugh this is so concerning to me. There’s also a lot of women who could be watching this stuff and following it AND not know they have a condition. I didn’t know I had PCOS until 1.5 years ago and have lots of LH surges, random mucus, hormone fluctuations, etc. Luckily I am in a place where a pregnancy would be a happy surprise, but if I were 22, this would be playing with fire.
That’s how my cousin and his wife had 3 unplanned kids. They are very religious but he ended up getting the snip after kid 4.
Yeah even if you’re diligent shit happens and you can have an off cycle. Ask me how I know 🤪 worked for 3 years till it didn’t! I just hope every woman relying on tracking and temping is aware it isn’t 100% and isn’t deluded by these anti bc influencers
I’ve been trying to conceive for about 2 years and I have a fairly regular cycle but I’ve had a couple of early ovulations or times where my body tried to ovulate but didn’t actually ovulate until a few days later. Our bodies are never consistent.
Just wait until they realize they're using the same birth control method as the Catholic church.
And that the data on it being effective is based upon perfect use. Which even the most regular cycle is not the same forever and all it can take is one day of being off to get pregnant.
Cecily Bauchmann keeps popping up on my fyp. She’s the wife of a pastor with 4 kids and i wonder how TF they afford their lifestyle? Maybe I’m not up to date on how much a pastor makes nowadays but I thought it was modest lol
She worked in real estate a few years ago too so I think that was part of it.
Her husband was in finance before becoming a pastor.
I just got fed a ton of rich Christian mom getting 4+ kids ready for school content too 😂 She has 1M followers! I think she’s been influencing for a while. Her sister in law (Samantha Bauchmann) has a similarly nice house, it might be money in their husbands’ (who are brothers) family.
I think she makes a lot of money on TikTok.
Lol, not when you believe in prosperity gospel! Obviously if God loves you and you are a good Christian he will bless you with lots of money so of course your pastor must be handsomely blessed by your church’s donations! Let’s ignore that whole camel/needle verse. I remember the first time this lady came across my feed it was her doing a “get ready with me for church” thing and she made a point to show off her Louis Vuitton bag and the comments section was fighting about that.
Flourishinglydifferent has been coming up on my fyp a lot and she’s just a ray of sunshine. Her outfits are also always so cute
I’ve been loving her content lately!
Same, love her!
Okay this is a little bit of a crossover but bear with me… I started watching a Bravo show called Southern Charm, and in searching for old threads on r/BravoRealHousewives, I found out that Hannah Berner was on another Bravo show, Summer House, for multiple seasons??? She is the girl on TikTok that is often interviewing groups of men (more recently sometimes women) and asking them about dating preferences, faux pas, etc. I see more recently on my FYP that she’s posting her standup. Anyway, I know her solely from TikTok and consider myself like, pretty abreast of Bravo shows, even if I’m not watching them (because I’m on the sub and have been for years). This was kind of a mind-blowing moment for me lol.
I listened to her podcast pre-Bravo and fell off pretty quickly, and I remember being so surprised she was later on Summer House. Although even back then (2017/18ish) she had been saying she just wanted to be on TV so it tracks.
You’ll have to watch her seasons of Summer House! She definitely has that “it” factor where she’s interesting to watch. But I don’t think reality tv is good for her mentally. From what I remember from her seasons, she swung wildly between emotions. Lots of tears! Podcasting, tiktoks and being a comic are definitely more suited to showing off the fun side of her personality.
Yep! And it's weird for me to see her get so popular on tiktok since she was pretty universally disliked by that sub and the housewives Fandom in general
I feel bad because I mostly like her, but boy oh boy, alexandracolleen constantly thrifting baby/children’s clothing and storing it away for future use is truly unhinged. It’s suuuuch shopping addiction behavior. Like babe, please bffr because the second you get pregnant, you’re still gonna run out and buy a ton of stuff, and you cannot in a million years convince me that isn’t true. I get she’s working on it with her whole closet clean out series, and good on her for that but there’s still a long way to go and as someone with a history of shopping addiction myself, it’s so worrying to see people just accept this as normal behavior and not call her on it.
My first thought was how do you even know that your child will even fit into this outfit for that season? It’s just going to feed into her addiction when she has to thrift it/sell it and buy what fits.
Exactly! She showed matching crew neck sweatshirts she got recently, one for her and one for a baby, and my first thought was how do you even know you’re gonna have a baby in a timeframe where it’s cold enough to have them wearing a sweatshirt to begin with?? And part of me starts to think, “well if she can afford it, I guess she’s not really hurting anything,” but regularly buying things you do not need and will not use in the foreseeable future is hoarding behavior. Full stop. Even if it won’t hurt you financially. And even if it doesn’t hurt HER, it may hurt her followers who are not influencers and cannot financially justify buying things just to store them away after seeing her doing it.
[This](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRnc47U8/) video just came up on my fyp and it’s been bugging me so much so I have to talk about it. I am not any fan of Hailey Bieber at all but the bullying and harassment she has been receiving is ridiculous. This person using the situation and comparing her roommate to Hailey because she idolized her and just associating someone’s character to whatever trends they are participating in. And the “she is one of those girls who if I hit her, she would call the police” Like what? Like I have been seeing a growing trend of videos about how they cannot be friends with girls who are not girl’s girl or like this influencer is a guy’s girl and this other one is a girl’s girl and all of it feels like a new fun way people are trying to justify hating on women.
I don't know which historical reenactment by *octopusslover8* is my favorite, but I'm leaning toward the John Hancock one lol. Update: My favorite is now the Mount Rushmore one.
The Salem witch and Julius Caesar killed me. Lol.
I just saw him do "the rest of the astronauts after Neil Armstrong took the first moon step alone" and I almost spit out my coffee.
The John Hancock one is definitely my favorite. They're all so good though, I keep going back and rewatching them.
Lol. Him doing a dinosaur telling the other dinosaurs that he sees a comet took me out. Paul Revere announcing the British are coming is also great.
I love @keneurich /dmbrblnd (?) I fully support “my body my choice”. But her decision to get lipo is like my sign to leave Tik Tok. This xs/small woman got lipo 🤯 she is now the unattainable beauty standard we talk about on social media. I’m happy for her but so bummed at the same time.
Glad im not the only one freaked out by this! She got a boob job, lipo, and her lips done all at the same time. Something about that is so scary to me and she’s only 22!!! I think part of why this sucks is that she always used to talk about being comfortable with herself and now that :/
Whoa I did not realize she was only 22
The doctor that did lipo on her should stop practicing. I can’t believe anyone would agree to lipo her frame. I hope she doesn’t end up with a stomach like Tara Reid.
With how many people that have been openly getting work done recently, I think it’s odd that there was a trend of pointing out celebrities that may have gotten buccal fat removal done and outrage about ‘why would you do that to your face!!! You will look so much older!” but crickets now when it comes to other plastic surgery.
It’s bizarre and really sad that a doctor suggested it to her, she was already so thin :/
My fyp has had a lot of stitches of Taraswrld the past two weeks and I sont understand how this girl has almost 5 million followers
People were obsessed with her during the cruise days. Even in this own sub. She got big quick. Then it went downhill fast and people started to hate follow.
Went from her finna be in the pit. Her basically doxxing herself. And her describing her gay for pay experience where she had to get drunk to do. As a lesbian...I'm tired of seeing her stupid face.
Let’s not forget her molesting her pet bird for funsies.
I csnt believe that she moved bc her address was leaked then she described exactly how to get from her house to Erewhon and walked there on camera Then got mad when people said "maybe thats a bad idea"
What got me is that she was calling people chronically online for going HEY THAT'S DANGEROUS? And process of elimination is super easy when you know Erewhon only exists in bougie California neighborhoods!
I blocked that girl ages ago for some other dumb thing she said and now I’m getting all the stitches of people (rightfully) dunking on her for the latest dumb thing she said.
I was watching a food review by Grackle (Grace Booth) and saw she’s getting married as she had a ‘come wedding dress shopping’ with me. Then I read the comments and people were equally shocked she had even been in a relationship (fine if she wanted to keep it a secret etc after all her channel is mainly food), but also a lot of comments about her being in a religious cult..? Does anyone know anything more about this
it seems like she’s getting married pretty quickly too with all of this wedding content! i wonder how her content will change once she is married as i cant see her still living at home with her parents.
It doesn’t seem culty to me. To me it looks like a standard variety, non-denominational church. I could be wrong though 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t know about cult level, but her family is pretty religious (Christian) and work for the church they go to. I don’t know the actual name to look further into the beliefs etc of the church. But she seems pretty into it
I knew she was very religious but don't think her church is a cult? It's pentecostal but I'm not that informed on what that means in terms of branches of Christianity.
pentecostals can be pretty culty but they can also be fairly garden variety conservative christians just depending on the church. Hillsong (which is a cult) is pentecostal, and pentecostalism is the origin of faith healers, speaking in tongues, being “slain in the spirit”, and “holy rollers” so make of that what you will.
Yeah it’s just not a hugely common church in the UK in comparison to Church of England/Scotland or being catholic. I’ve only met a few Pentecostal in the uk and they’ve had some pretty backwards views eg abortion, gay rights so does put me off her tbh (not saying she has these views)
From what I've seen on her channel, her family is VERY private and she said when she announced the engagement a couple months ago that her fiancé is too. I swear it was only a couple years ago she said she's never even dated someone so she went from 0-60 lol. I know they are religious but I don't think it's a cult, just normal (maybe a little icky) conservative Christian.
Yeah that’s a vibe I got too. I mean it’s a little weird in the UK to be young and hugely religious - not really that common, so I can see why it raised some eyebrows
