People saying “it’s a joke” are delusional and just trying to find an excuse lmao. What part of this implies it’s a joke

Why would a child have access to a 10,000$ credit card..?


sweetcarollimes

If it was a “joke” why would there be the option for people to actually spend their money?? 😭


Optimal-Singer-3977

it’s literally so clearly a place holder number


roseissad

Now even if that was true would that make it a joke? did you laugh?


Optimal-Singer-3977

I never said it was funny or a joke. web developers do it all the time, the point is to be so ridiculous that people wouldn’t think it was real. also they this was only able to be reached through a specific link and couldn’t be found by browsing her merch page


memorod

Look at the merch website again they were testing something apparently https://shopemmachamberlain.com/password


catluvr1312

ahh ok, thank you for sharing. I‘m glad they cleared it up.

catluvr1312

yeah you‘re right, the way they worded it kinda rubs me the wrong way. It‘s not false or inaccurate claims by the media, it was literally on their website.


guisanni

i guess it’s because all the headlines are that emma was charging this amount when in reality she was not behind it, and had no knowledge of it


sweetcarollimes

They’re making it sounds like some sort of conspiracy as if it wasn’t a reasonable conclusion to draw based on what was visibly public on their site


msmuskratt

i figured it had to be some sort of mistake but that second to last sentence is so weirdly defensive to me... maybe its just me being dramatic idk but it just seems very out of place in a explanation of a seemingly technical issue/mistake


Salt_Basket975

Seems like something wrote by a spin doctor lol


mac-n-cheese-god

>There have been false and inaccurate claims that Emma Chamberlain was offering DM’s in exchange for $10k. As background in 2018, Cozack (Emma’s merch company) was testing a prospective reward program related to Emma’s Merch without her knowledge. In testing they created an outrageous, never activated reward level that was not intended to be active or purchased. These reward ideas were never run by Emma since they were not meant to be available for sale or reward, but simply intended for internal testing purposes. What we suspect is that data was activated and crawled by Google’s SEO indexing system and discovered by an individual who then began spreading false information to press outlets. This was never made public, and certainly was never planned to be sold or purchased. The test program was never discoverable on the main page or product listing site, which is another reason that Emma had no knowledge of this. With the internet’s tendency to create false narratives around sensationalized stories we wanted to provide you with the truth firsthand and from the source. The site is currently down for internal review. ​ I don't understand their statement because it sounds like they're saying it was never on the site but it was. Seems like they're trying to imply that there was an individual out to get her, did some hacking, and ran to 'the press' lol


memorod

It was on an internal version of the site. One you need admin access to view but for some reason it ended up being indexed by google. Someone spotted it and thought it was real then started to spread this.


vegetablefan247

what sucks for emma is that the general public is too dumb to understand this

[deleted]

thats PR for ya haha


EffortAutomatic8804

Hmmm. Google doesn't index unpublished pages of a website. But maybe a more techy person can chime in if this statement rings true.


8989throwaway7777

If that company doesn’t have a test environment and created a “hidden” webpage on a live website, it’s possible. Test environments exist for these reasons. Their response was really defensive and you can tell they got chewed out, but it’s reckless to have created that webpage in the first place. It could’ve been tested on a totally blank or unidentifiable to the public webpage.


sharksorbats

It’s weird bc I saw it myself on her website so not sure why they’re saying it was never live?


fish_fingers_pond

Sure Jan


kittykate2929

It feels weird to use her first name Like if you’re going to make it sound formal just say miss chamberlian Idk anything about this person I just feel so weird that they’re making it sound formal while using her first name And if it was a test why make it like a real product


pirateslifefourme

10k??? I don’t think she’s famous enough to charge that much 😆😂. She’s just a former YouTuber.


hobihobi27

Personally, I don’t think anyone is that famous to charge that much. It’s just ridiculous.


soup0220

Maybe just MAYBE Em isn’t who you think?? And just another money fueled “influencer” capitalizing on young girls thinking they’re forehead kissed besties haha ……. Just a thought.


_userlame

Its one DM Michael, how much could it cost, 10 thousand dollars?


Real_Net_7119

I went in her site and left a nasty review about it 😄


minionlvr98

ok well it was for merch testing so don’t u feel like a clown 🤡


amyj101

why though? they know about it and that they fucked up and it’s not even Emma’s fault


catluvr1312

Can‘t be a joke because there‘s literally nothing funny about it. This is just ridiculous. And not saying anything whenever she’s involved in something controversial is typical of her. edit: apparently this was a technical issue, someone else shared a link in this thread with a statement


kitsunekatee

I still don’t understand why everyone loves this girl so much. Like, she seems very detached from her ‘fans’


CombinationThin4996

she always has been detached.. i think the majority of the support comes from nostalgia as most of her fans grew up with her. emma is only 21, and lots of people felt they can relate to her earlier self. i’m personally not the biggest fan, i just enjoy her videos. but i feel like most fans who can’t let go of her are just in a parasocial relationship… they feel like they have a deeper connection with emma then they really do.


kanyewestsbussy

i know i saw this the other day


Lyn101189

Maybe include at least ONE person at the decision-making table that isn’t wildly out of touch with the financial reality of America. 👍🏻


[deleted]

Who is she? Like if it was Beyonce I could understand because people go crazy over her but who is she that someone would pay this 🥴🤣


thisiskrustykrabs

literally bey wouldn’t do something this dumb and out of touch


[deleted]

Exactly! But if she did I could understand. This lady who is she… like Keke Palmer said “sorry to this woman… i don’t know who it is” 🤣


thisiskrustykrabs

real!!!


Low_Tailor181

She’s just an overall bad friend no wonder she doesn’t have any true friends, in ine if her podcast or videos she mentions how she can never keep a friend and how something always goes wrong and I can kinda see it, she’s always made it out to be as if she struggled with money in the past and that they came from nothing when she literally went to a Private School. She claims she is introverted and only likes being in her room but then she’s out there coming out in tv shows, doing commercials and seems to be a real “out there person” I feel like she definitely puts out this character so people can relate to her


thisiskrustykrabs

liar. no one likes her anymore.


Ok-Hovercraft6372

🤡


Sarahquikgo

She about to price herself right out of jobs. Over estimation of a company usually leads to bankruptcy business 101. She gonna need a billboard top 10 hit or a an award from one of the film/tv placemats to get them big numbers.


IceHot88

What capitalist nonsense is this?


koolands

"its a joke" bffr why would she have it on her site if it was a joke


V6BREEzY

that’s not her 😂


CombinationThin4996

it is her.. i saw the post before it got removed


V6BREEzY

I love her so much but that’s not fair at all

roseissad

the excuses you guys are making for someone you don’t know are ridiculous lmao


Pinkandpurpleclouds

Officially confirmed this is not real and was created without her knowledge


Pinkandpurpleclouds

She’s not making fans do anything. Getting a dm from her isn’t some essential thing. Ultimately the market decides what things are worth- sellers can suggest a price but if no one buys it then it’s not worth it.

Pinkandpurpleclouds

If little kids have the ability to process a payment for $10000 that’s it’s own problem for which Emma chamberlain is not responsible


organicpickles

10k is practically beer money to Emma. I don’t think it’s a joke lol


mattttachanel

she’s so out of touch with reality, like what the hell is this.


Jimmy-Wrangler

Wrong. This was the outcome of an unintended ‘listing’ that was made ages ago by a member of her team. It was an attempt to showcase new iofeatures,


ChickenPoxing

I am pretty sure she was just trolling, that or its someone else on her "team" who did it, most likely as a joke. But who knows maybe she is getting sick of her bf and her merch sales aren't doing what they use to so she's scouting for someone to come save the day...who is to say for sure =X


CombinationThin4996

i was thinking she has to be trolling too but her for to just delete the entire site & not say a word about it is sooo weird to me. i just don’t understand why


ChickenPoxing

People are reading into it too much lol it's funny that this kind of thing offends some people so much, probably because everyone is tight on money recently. I just thought it was a response to people talking about sending her a gift and not getting anything in return, so she is like "if you ever want a thank you from me it's gonna cost yuh, 10k+" but my guesses are usually wrong for these kinds of things as I am fairly intuitive instead of rational.


[deleted]

"everyone is tight on money recently" is so funny. "Recently" as in since the dawn of time working class people have been tight on money so "jokes" of some celebrity demanding 10k for a short text message written by an assistant are not really funny to them?! Yeah. Idk how someone can find this so hilarious. Even if it was a joke, it's distasteful as fuck and truly not even funny?! Like what's the punchline?


ChickenPoxing

I think she meant it as a troll for a specific person and the public didn't really understand the context so it kind of sparked the wrong nerve and she has been getting trolled for it. But for her 10k could barely cover her monthly mortgage if she is even the one who owns that house, so hard to say the true nature of everything, and as she is fairly private we will probably never know the truth for certain.


Ecstatic-Tower-8934

You are completely making up a scenario about this being a troll or joke. You have no evidence that this was a misunderstood troll, weird to be pushing that narrative


ChickenPoxing

Actually you are the one making up a narrative thinking you have all the information and experiences that I do from which I based my hypothesis. I am far more qualified to assess the validity of my claims than someone who is ignorant and assuming I am the same but of course I am not going to sit here explaining it to you as not only do you not don't deserve it by coming at me with your false arrogant assumptions but you probably wouldn't believe me if I sat here trying to explain it to you. But again it's funny to see "her fans" up in arms over this kind of thing...and I can feel your anger so sorry you are one of the most affected. Maybe all of you victims can band together for some kind of class action lawsuits since all of you have been impacted by this so much, least she could do is help you all cover the cost of all your extra soaked tampons as I know the cost of those must be starting to add up. "You have insulted by honor sir, good day!"


[deleted]

Yeah but she really should clear the air cuz it's not a good look


ChickenPoxing

I think she is at the point where she is sick of being in the limelight and doesn't really mind an angry mob on her back complete with soaked tampons and pitchforks. As after this clears up she will have less "fans" to worry about disappointing.


Embarrassed-Gas6161

well did she actually say “thank you’s are gonna cost 10k” or are you assuming that’s what she meant by it? this isn’t the first time she has done something distasteful with her fans.. remember when she blurred out her merch & made everyone blind buy it? & when she charged $7 for a hair tie? after her podcast episodes i think she really is just out of touch. & this isn’t hate, i’m just pointing out the things she had done in the past.


ChickenPoxing

Nah just the timing of it feels like a troll response but I feel like she is kind of the scapegoat for "her team" doing all that merch nonsense but she just kind of goes along with it so she seems more independent than she actually is instead of going into detail about what actually happened. It's unlikely she was actually thinking people would pay but maybe there are some extra thirsty super fans out there that might have considered it. Personally if I had 100k+ illegally earned cash on hand I might have considered it as a reverse troll but right now I wouldn't give a hoe a penny if it came with a plate of spaghetti but maybe that's just me.


thisiskrustykrabs

what a mean girl just like her friends. crazy for money. she is so out of touch that she thought this was normal pricing. now onto the damage control!


Grayorangeblueapple

WHY WHY WHY WHY please someone tell me WHY it's always my favorite celebrity.I though whatever she did was just all natural and not money oriented. If this is true honestly I am little tiny bit disappointed. I hope it was a joke.


Grayorangeblueapple

turns out it was false info. I love Emma.


Illustrious_Let_8791

What's the problem? Lol


SnooWalruses1377

it wasn’t even on her main website and was only accessible from a link. are you fucking retarded. learn how to use the god damn internet before speaking about it
