[@beksfue5937]

Sorry for the rant, but what kinda annoys me about the friggin "5 AM Club" is how they think they're so special when in reality there are hundreds of millions of people who wake up at 5 AM, or even 4 AM. But I guess it's only cool when you're rich and do it by choice and not because you have to commute 3 hrs to work or get a ton of outdoors work done before the sun can turn you into a mummy.

[@MelH87]

Exactly! I live in California and us non influencers need to get up at at least 5 in order to sit in traffic and get to work on time. We’re not waking up to go sit in a sauna. Ridiculous.

Nurses wake up at 4-5 am, make breakfast for everyone, lay out the spouse's and kids' clothes😊,commute, work 12 or even 16 hour shifts, come home, make dinner and next day lunches for everyone, get the kids to bed and do it all over again the next day. But please rich dude, tell me how much you're sacrificing.

[@Alyse_bell]

The woman that lied about her husband coming second when he actually came 32nd is both hilarious and sad. The fact that she thinks she can get away with lying when it’s easily disprovable but also, her husband came 32nd out of 500 other men. That’s pretty freaking good and to lie about it makes that accomplishment seem like it’s not good enough.

[@karengreenfield7773]

She should have added just a few extra words. In his heat he came second, in his age group he came 5th and over all he came 32nd. Also if this is his first time then is is very good. If it is not this first time then she could say he beat his Personal Best by X number of places. Élite athletes do this all the time. They celebrate any gain no matter how small.

That's what I thought! No shame in 32

[@zvezdoblyat]

It really bothers me actually. I understand they need to live their lives, but that's so unprofessional to be doing that while at work. The same goes for the dentists and teachers doing tiktok dances and twerking during their shifts. I would not want a doctor or nurse who is doing that at work to be in charge of my wellbeing, and I would definitely lose respect for my teacher if I walk into their classroom and they're "throwing it back" to some stupid audio

Seriously. It really depends on the person and their lifestyles. If you sleep at 10 - 11 pm. waking up at 5 is unreasonable. Meanwhile someone who their natural clock log them out at 9 pm. might enjoy more time in the morning. "Sleep enough" is best.

They all do it. Some tho try and hide clocks and watches so that we cannot see the real time as in mid day when they just hop back into bed full made up in crisp pjs.

[@greenluxi]

I mean how else do you film a morning routine? My issue isn’t recreating something to film it, my issue is if you say you wake up at 5 but don’t. I get why for filming purposes you have to reshoot something because unless you hire a camera man to follow you in real time you have to fudge with the timeline somewhat. What’s disingenuous is if you’re touting the 5 am wake up as some sort of lifestyle hack that you’ve supposedly gained all these benefits from but you don’t actually wake up at 5. If the guy wakes up at 5 and does his routine then recreates it at 8 am so he can actually capture it on film then I don’t see the issue. These aren’t live feeds nor do they purport to be, everyone knows the content is edited.

[@Laine-ds3ez]

@@greenluxiright? Like if you’re being legitimate about when you’re filming, whatever, do what you need to do. But saying you’re up at 5 when you’re actually up at 7 is just so bizarre.

[@dustinroberson1865]

My wife is guilty of believing everything she sees on social media and more often than not it makes her depressed about where she is in life. She sees all of these people acting like what they post is every day for them. I try to explain to her that they only post the good things and many times over do those times to bring in more engagement. Then add in the fact that you see that from tons of people and it becomes overwhelming, thinking that everyone around you has it better than you. I can't count on both hands how many times I've had to let her know that a video was lying or misleading when she is about to attempt it.

It’s sad and it’s true. It affects a lot of parents in a very negative and non productive way. Horrible.

​@@dustinroberson1865If she also believes a lot of things she sees on TV, she may need to be tested for autism. Show her this video, and see if she chooses to believe the fake ones, if so, she may have a psychological desire to believe the influencers for a multitude of reasons. If she has a high IQ, she can rationalise it using logical and reasonable arguments, but asking why she believes each argument may help.

I remember when they video went around and almost everyone called bs on her, many also did accuse her of just dumping the honey, which throws her attempt of looking sustainable out of the window. I don't think she bought the jars filled with honey but wouldn't put it past influencers doing that. But ya it's such an unrealistic thing to lie about

[@gasparinha]

As a New Yorker, I call total BS on that first video - not just on the dates, but the geography. She has coffee from Copper Mug Coffee in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), then went to a diner in Commack (Long Island). That's at least an hour drive!! They'd probably have to pass a hundred (or more) diners before they got to Commack. 🤦‍♀️ (Edited: I've corrected my drive time - I mistakenly said it was about two hours. Still a long drive for brunch.)

As a professional cleaner my biggest pet peeve with the vast majority of influencers is when they pre-clean before their “clean with me” videos. I can 100% tell they already cleaned themselves or hired someone. It really bothers me bc I have clients who now believe it’s normal to have your home that clean all the time & can tell it affects their mental health.

[@flaxline]

But on the same side as those influencers, there are cleaning-influencers who promote and normalize obsessive cleaning as part of their daily routine (or what feels like, their whole daily routine), state that this is sustainable and doable in just 10-15 minutes a day and everyone who can't sustain that routine and that kind of spotless home is just lazy and nasty. You'll find their fans in the comment of "let's normalize normal homes" reels, being disgusted about perfectly acceptable, relatively tidy homes.

[@ShannonLynnBoyce]

Effects my mental health for sure

[@JennyT101]

Yes this is very annoying. The other thing that bothers me is the influencers who do videos about their cleaning routine etc, and then you find out that they have someone come in and clean for them!

[@amyelgin]

Thank you for saying this

[@scarlett8895]

Thank you for saying this, I don't follow influencers, but a friend of mine made it a point to always send me pictures of her cleaning, or texting me telling me she was doing it, and with her house always being very put together I always felt somewhat guilty for not being as good at keeping my place as tidy, and a bit envious that with a full time job and 2 kids she still found the time to do all that. Until one day I got to her place earlier than agreed on cause I wasn't doing anything, I texted her but she didn't read it apparently, and I found her chilling in the backyard with a cleaning lady in the house. As always she had told me she was going to be cleaning that afternoon 😂 To say she was embarassed is an understatement. Idk why one would lie about something like that, there shouldn't be any shame in hiring people to clean, kudos to anyine who can afford the help!

I would say 99% of the time what you see on social media is embellished at best, a complete fabrication at worst.

As a teen I saw so many glamorized lifestyle videos that it totally messed with my perception of what a day to day routine should look like, partially leading to why I ended up depressed.

I really do think this obsession with social media figures is what is contributing to/the source of so many mental issues with younger Milennials/Gen-Z - they grow up with cellphones in their hands but not much digital literacy and take everything they see online as ironclad truth, not realizing it's all about views, ad money, "engagement". They really should add a course on online/social media literacy to middle/high schools.

[@tiffanysanta]

I used to work at Disneyland and the amount of fakeness is alarming. People would literally go buy whatever treat is trending and film it, maybe take a bite or sip and then THROW IT AWAY! So many people scrape their money to go to the park and a lot of cast members can’t even afford to treat themselves yet they can watch you just throw stuff away. Note to influencers, if you’re not going to consume your treat, how about asking someone in line if they want yours for free after you just film it real quick?

[@FelipeBudinich]

The opposite of this is "Somebody Feed Phil" I always love when he shares the food

[@AlysaAlysaBolissaBananaFannaFe]

Yeah, they could scoop a bite on a spoon then throw the spoon away and give their food away.

[@Razhali]

This would also infuriate me! When I buy something that Idk if Itd like, I will always try to find someone whod want it if I end up not liking it. Usually, my mom eats what I cant eat but when she cant, I look for homeless. Example: 1. Starbucks had come out with Lavender flavored drinks so I tried a Lavender Almond Milk beverage but it was so sweet and I dont like overly sweet things. My mom is a diabetic so I didnt want her to drink it for me so I asked around Fredmeyers where I bought it and it took about 3 people to say no for 1 person to finally say yes. When I hand something to someone else, I hope they actually enjoy it. Theres no point in handing it to someone who is just going to throw it away when you handed it to them to avoid the waste. I found her in line at the cash register as I was going to the restroom and asked her how she liked it. She said she enjoyed it but is saving it for her daughter because her daughter liked lavender flavored things so I repeated to her what the beverage was, that way, she could order it again in the future. 2. Another thing I do is if I have leftover food or bought to much then I can actually eat, Ill first find a homeless person (they are more likely to appreciate the offer and less likely to feel offended by it) or someone I know who likes the thing I want to get rid of. If I cant find anyone then I leave it on top of something. I could be on top a trash can or dumpster (since homeless are seen rummaging them all the time) or somewhere else in clear view for a person to find it quickly. Sometimes, I might hold onto it until I can find a person who will appreciate the offer (like a teddy bear or other gift that wont expire.) Its so easy to be considerate that it's heartbreaking that people choose not to be. Like, I'm poor but I still try to help when I can. I usually opt to giving food away instead of money, especially to homeless. That way, I know that they are getting what they actually need. Like I dont want to fund their alc. or dr*g habits but I want them to be able to eat something so I'll ask them if they want anything specific from the store. Usually, its such a simple request like milk or a bag of chips.The only time I'll refuse to help someone is if they are demanding it, following me around, making me uncomfortable, or reject the offer and ask for cash. I'm extra generous when someone ends up being selfless. Like once, my mom and I offered a lady some food and asked her what she'd want. She told my mom that she didnt need anything, she was doing it for her dog so the dog wouldnt go hungry before her money came in and they just gone homeless. So, my mom went inside to buy a box of dog treats for the dog AND food for the lady. Another time, I asked this homeless guy what he wanted me to buy him and he told me milk and something else but then recanted and said he wanted to give his offer to his friend and asked for something else instead like soda and chips so my mom and I went into the store and got everything the guy asked for so that both him and his buddy could have something. If I was an influencer and no matter who I asked at Disneyland if they wanted my food or whatever and everyone said "no thanks" for whatever reason...I'd definitely hold on to them for as long as I could and either eat it later or find someone outside of Disneyland to give it to. I once had a guy accept a day old Tacobell burrito and told him that it was "yesterdays burrito that I couldnt eat" and he had no destain about it whatsoever. Sorry for the long comment. I'm hoping that if anyone reads this then maybe they can get some ideas from it on how they can be more considerate towards others and less wasteful.

But I come from a farm and Farmers have to get up early or otherwise a bunch of hungry animals will become Mutinous. I had to commune to school 90 minutes I think people think / fear they miss out when they don't stay up late during the week and therefore don't sleep enough. Or they are just natural night owls. I don't think it's bad to have to get up early for work, that's just how it is. I don't have to take care for animals and commune 90 minutes to school anymore but I keep my 5 am Routine including going early to bed. I sleep a lot and I get done a lot.

​@@CordeliaWagner1999I'm also a morning person and basically changed my life to go to bed early once I figured out I just function better in every capacity by starting my day early in the morning lol. Idg why waking up early is getting demonized as privileged or affluent. It's literally just about when you choose to go to bed. I used to come home from work, eat dinner, wash dishes, and then go to sleep. All the things everyone would have been doing into the wee hours of the evening, I just did in the morning instead (and felt a lot better too cause I was energized from a full night's rest).

I think the saddest thing is that if half of these people were honest ("I'm going to show you my morning routine, I'm recreating it because I didn't want to film so early, but this gives you an idea"), no one would mind or care. We all watch KZbin and TV shows knowing they're not filming at the exact time, and everyone knows it takes time to set up shots and stuff. No one would be like "how dare you recreate it".

[@PheOfTheFae]

Now, I just watch these vlog videos on youtube which are like 9 minutes long because I find that these videos are more realistic than those tiktoks. But I still want to applaud those fake influencers for their work and how they have to probably ‘set up’ everything and then record. And the mom’s workout routine was so fake that you could see in the bg that she did one exercise for 30 senconds and cut out clips and then did another exercise with the same thing. But overall, even as a teenager I find it funny how these influencers think that their audience can be fooled os easily 😂😂

Haha yeah, and not even a - ok I’ll give it to ya kinda thing. For anyone that doesn’t live on the island or know it.. from me in east Nassau, anything past like Wyandanch, Deer Park is starting to be called ‘out East’. It isn’t really really, but, it’s like country living compared to living in the City. I’ve been to that diner, and I always thought it was in Dix Hills. It’s over that way anyway, really nice area, lots of trees, just nice. Like OP said it’s over an hour to the city. My point from above is like, there are some border towns in Nassau that some people won’t full on argue with you it “technically” isn’t the city. Like Valley Stream or any other that borders. It’s right there, you just go a road over and you’re ’in the city’. So fine.. if it was Elmont, Valley Stream area, okay whatever. Trust me, she is way out (compared to the city). I’m not saying she’s out by Montauk, Baiting Hollow, Riverhead, Hamptons whatever. It’s early Suffolk, but, it’s Suffolk nonetheless. Commack is 20 minutes maybe 30 from the border to Nassau.. the county that borders the city… There’s a lot of people .. ugh, iNfLuEnCerS.. that live near and around me that pretend to live ‘in the city’. Our traffic is different, our politics is different, our money is different, it is just not the same. They can’t even right on red in the city, I mean, that’s like a totally different country over there.. tf. Acting like you live in the city when you live 2 counties, not towns, counties, over is a bit lul.

Omg where were you when we witnessed this bold faced lie. We had two foreign exchange students staying with us and before they left we took them on a quick, "cheap" Princess Cruise from SoCal to Mexico. They were so excited because one of the girls recognized an influencer she followed. So of course they quietly stalked her around the ship out of excitement, while carefully following her page to see what she was posting. This influencer took a selfie on the balcony of the ship with Catalina Island in the background and captioned "Spending Time On Daddy's Yacht". She was trying to make her followers think she was a spoiled little rich girl, but she was straight up lying, she was on a crappy ship with 600 other people. It taught my exchange students a valuable lesson: people can say whatever they want, but that doesn't mean it's the truth. As 15-16 year olds it was a great lesson to not envy another persons life just because they flaunt it publicly. Oh how I wish I could remember her name so you can find the post.
