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.

[@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

She could have even gone with "We're teaching them fitness is important even when you're an adult. Even when you don't come in first, or second, or 100th."

Plus that's faking a message that you have to be on top to be motivating and awesome and that's not true, dude could finish it on 500th place and it still would be insipiring to his kid that dad survived so much and does it out of love no matter the outcome compared to others

@valbrenneman9071 Yeah, I watch her videos on mlms, but I don't follow influencers like the one she describes. In my head, Hannah is a content creator who focuses on criticizing certain topics while influencers, in general, are more about lifestyle, hacks, hauls, etc. Don't know if it's a real definition but for me those things are different

[@aimbetternotperfect]

My first prof at uni told us about a game he taught his kids when they started watching TV and saw ads.

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]

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!

[@arnoldbarrios1867]

These aren't minor, they're deceitful and a large number of people that these influencers influence are younger children. I show my twelve-year-old daughter your videos to educate her. So thank you for what you provide, which is the truth.

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.)

So, I was a pathological liar for a long time. I lied about EVERYTHING, no matter how inconsequential. It stemmed from living in an emotionally and verbally abusive household where I was constantly walking on eggshells. It was better to lie and placate than tell the truth. I realised around 17 or 18 that it was becoming a problem, it was something I thoroughly disliked about myself. I started going to therapy, challenging myself to always be honest.

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.

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]

Right? Like I've made "clean with me" videos before and it takes ALL DAY with all the shots and stuff. The video ends up being 20 minutes or something. I've never pretended like "clean with me before 5 am because that sounds more impressive."

[@Z-ef1rr]

Routine videos have always been reenactments though.. I thought that was common sense. Go back and watch some routine videos on KZbin from the early 2010s. This has always been the case 😂

[@YayaBolender]

I don’t agree with that. There are some very young viewers who are going to believe the lies and will feel bad because they don’t manage to be as good as the KZbin creator. It is a terrible example to give to the younger audience.

@@ccw2312 There are very young adults who don’t live with their parents anymore, who maybe are a little naïve and are going to be trapped in the nonsense. Reading the comments under a video is very useful because suddenly you realize that people can believe the stupidest things. On a video, honesty is necessary, otherwise it’s lies and scams. And it is important for the viewers to trust the creators, if they don’t, they unsubscribe. Lies should never be rewarded.

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.

The terrible thing is that people flex about sleeping as little as possible, when consistent lack of sleep causes major health problems.

While I feel that the theme given is "I'm trying to help you save yourself from the big bad wolf", it has a potentially eerie undertone...encroaching into "yes, follow and heed my words; so I can gain from you and you don't even realize it".

The next 15 minutes the assistent was taking pictures of the influencer with the cup of coffee and the little apple pie. After those 15 minutes, they paid and left.
