I'm writing a book about family vloggers & mom influencers and would love to interview you for my snark chapter!! would love to connect here or at LatifiFortesa@gmail.com
Great article on snark. I had to delete my Reddit acct bc I got obsessed- quickly. I think for me what it boils down too- is there is absolutely zero consequences for influencers/health influencers especially- who push dangerous content about wellness- and re package harmful diet and exercise/firness culture - with "strong the new skinny" type tropes etc. I could go on. I had my para social time in there with one in particular bc I was super super duped by her prowess. It's a really mind eff to get scammed by these women and see their followers just cheer them on into oblivion for being so empowering. I think that's why snark is helpful to some - yes it can get vicious but if it opens the eyes up to people like me who are easily influenced- so be it

I hate to admit it but I genuinely only snark on Acacia Kersey because her family and platform has caused real life harm to people.
I don't know about her but a quick Google search made me go, "Yikes."
And she’s still going
