Freebies
This entry is inspired by the incident in blogosphere: http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/22/hotel-sends-invoice-publicity-blogger-tried-bag-freebie-7250788/
Basically a hotel in Dublin was approached by a 'social influencer' who sought a free stay in exchange of good publicity with her followers. The hotel owner re-published her email (blotting out her name) and replied (in short) no thanks.
Lo and behold this social influencer did a video in response, that she was shamed and bullied and embarassed because of the treatment (when she was not even identified in the first place).
Well I kinda liked the attitude of the hotel owner & his tongue-in-cheek response. All in jest I'm sure yet the social influencer called herself out (who's fault is that now?). I doubt that she will do another video in response (it will not be necessary & may even be more damaging than helpful).
On one hand, I understand the effort (and perhaps the courage) it takes to put yourself out there and talk about any particular thing that will amass followers and make you lots of money. However, with entertainment, sometimes you make it sometimes you don't. Sometimes you DO make it and then something happens that make people unfollow you and there goes your popularity... AND to really3 make it I'm sure it takes a lot of effort and money and tears and disappointments too.
These videos may give you a picture of some of the challenges:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEBGETEMfqM (10 YouTubers Who Killed Their Career in Seconds)- however to qualify, this video also includes instances where the blogger/vlogger/youtuber ends the show in earnest & retract from the limelight OR a re-branding exercise, not due to controversy
Looks like it is REAL work, but probably what the kids enjoy AND hopefully the posts and videos may help to make the world a better place. Peace Out ;-)
