Why We're Over Influencer Culture: What Went Wrong?

[@isamar3301]

Honestly they often feel worse than celebrities, at least most celebrities don't pretend they are just like us. Influencers may start like us but once they blow up they're relatability is gone.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

That’s true. I think it’s important to stay grounded

[@latroletteeeee]

@@Laurajaneatelier lol you're in the same boat.

[@runaway3212]

It’s so annoying, every single time , there’s people trying to make u buy something. I know some influencers came from humble beginnings , and still they will lie and lie so they can make a check

[@conspiracion9125]

Narcisistic behaviour

[@artbygilik]

And there’s also the rude and entitled influencers who film themselves in public space and get annoyed if people walk past their camera.

[@TayrnsTime]

I don't like watching influencers anymore, I would rather watch people like you. You remind me of the originals I followed back in 2011, but more refined which is nice. ❤

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Awe thank you 😊

[@moozaa2974]

Ohhh, Do u think the rise of video essays & opinion videos made the average follower more discerning???

[@3poodlez321]

They’re glorified salespeople. Why would I take the advice of someone basically paid to flog products that are sent to them with the expectation that the influencer would push that product?

[@hollynewsteinhautala5573]

The influencer I watch now is Emily Noel. She doesn’t do sponsorships, never launched a makeup line, promotes affordable products, and still does old-style tutorials. She’s been on KZbin for years, and is always fresh and relatable.

[@angelinamidbjerlundholm3058]

I see influencers like a new profound tv-shop.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Totally!

[@marylove909]

I've stopped watching influencers. I used to love watching videos about beauty application techniques, what products were good for various situations, and I loved dupe videos when it was more like someone just happened to find a dupe for something, rather than a dupe being intentionally made like they are now. I get tired of 'new new new' and 'buy buy buy'. I watch people who shop their stash, use what they have in creative ways, and are more financially frugal and less wasteful.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

I totally agree!

[@smellyhero64]

I miss the makeup tutorials

[@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64]

Your comment is so important. Thanks for the information. 😊

[@baronessboomer3865]

You create such interesting mini documentaries. I much prefer to watch actual content creators, and I tend to avoid these so called 'influencers.' 💜

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Awe thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching 💕💕

[@oilybrownboy]

Its the fact they stray so far from where they started, that the person starts feeling disingenuist and phony.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

So true

[@spokenme08]

I’ve been watching KZbin since 2006 and watched the OG beauty gurus in high school/college. The shift over the years has been interesting. When more mainstream beauty influencers came on the scene and everyone started started going more high tech the community really changed.

[@christopherhoward7536]

Influencers = salesperson

[@Rositasparks]

Exactly!

[@ElastiBabe]

Thinking of Martha Stewart as an influencer is both accurate and hilarious 😂

[@veronicajade20]

Idk. Today's influencers may go out of style, but I don't think notoriety will ever go out of style. I think that anywhere there's a society, some people will achieve notoriety and other people will admire them for it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lizettesousa8862]

So true I used to watch perfume reviewers that I trusted as they appeared to enjoy a similar fragrance wardrobe however some of these influencers have turned into commercial influencers even reporting on some fragrances as so unique when they smell just like the same fragrance they posted on a year ago. Total betrayal!!!! They present more as commercial ads vs honest reviews. I appreciate honesty as your channel displays.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Yes so true. I understand that influencers need to do ads because it’s a huge part of their invite but just be honest

[@WiinterKitten]

In all honesty, I don’t blame influencers, I 100% blame those who put them on a pedestal instead of treating them like regular people who have a platform.

[@atomikblondee1]

I remember following Kandee Johnson and Graveyardgirl back in the day

[@sharonsmith583]

You're about the only beauty influencer I've ever followed, and you have more varied content, and I really like your voice

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@RebeccaJackson-u1e]

Influencers r something I don't watch, well occasionally they may come up on my feed but really I prefer to watch real people. I actually look at my mum, she is so gorgeous and I remember her putting make up on in her mirror and watching her when I was 5 years old. She is in her 70 ' s now and still is the same ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@petrine5]

I hate that word😣

[@Laurajaneatelier]

It is a weird word

I like your voice. Your videos are almost ASMR!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Aww thanks. I have other people saying they can’t stand my voice 😂

[@TayrnsTime]

​@@LaurajaneatelierYou do have a soothing voice, it's authentic and beautiful.

[@deeactive1329]

Once the people I watched started doing sponsored content on the items they were reviewing, I stopped seeing them as relatable. It's just the same paid programming people claimed they hated.

[@sherribaker9135]

I'd much rather watch real people like you who are beautiful and approachable. I'm so through with the Kardashians!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Aww thank you 💕💕

[@WillBlindYouWithLight]

We're over it because we have realized we like to think and feel on our own, by ourselves for ourselves.

[@frithfiver]

I don't have anything to say, just want to comment to support the channel because I love your videos xx

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Aww thank you

[@CleoGravel]

I only watch a couple of channels that teach you how to use and apply cosmetics 😊 so many people get stuck purchasing products from these different channels 😊thank you for sharing 😊

[@pliktl]

omg! i hit the 1k like! SO SATISFYING!!!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Haha that would be satisfying! Thank you

[@Burrtiomon]

The only influencer that been keeping it real is Simply Nailogical. That woman is brilliant in business showcasing her products, while still being herself! She streams all the time. I love her channel and her nail polish so much.

[@RA-zj3vs]

Emily Noel is my favorite.

[@Godsfavoritehoneybee]

I don't mean to call you a hypocrite buttttt you influenced me to buy that cat cookie jar in your background 😂😂😂😊 it's so freaking cute!!!! ❤❤❤❤ seriously though, definitely over the influencer/Truman show side cast having links to freaking everything and thinking they are literal gods. It's obnoxious

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Oh cute! Where did you get it? I found mine at a thrift store

[@Godsfavoritehoneybee]

@Laurajaneatelier ebay!! Its adorable!!!!

[@carmelasatera713]

This was interesting! Also, you look so pretty today!!! ❤

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Awe thank you

[@valkolakk]

I also learned a lot about makeup from the Pixiwoos. Like, it used to be about learning techniques for a lot of us.

[@valkolakk]

I miss Vintageortacky so much. She's a ray of sunshine. I think maybe she still posts in insta sometimes.

[@jameslau5497]

I really enjoyed this video. Excellent breakdown of this phenomenon whilst objectively expansive showing the context within modern 20th century culture. Great teaching aid. Happy New Year to anyone who reads this😊

[@DiandraKrueger]

I am a horror influencer and I’m over influencers 😂 most of it feels inauthentic anymore

And many became Activists. 🤮🤮🤮

[@novahalo2461]

Yay

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

Maybe this is just me being neurodivergent and a cynic, but I’ve never found celebs or influencers relatable lol and there’s little that even differentiates a celeb and an influencer anyway. You could say “well, celebs are talented” but with the rise of auto tune and nepotism literally always being a thing, very few celebs are very talented either lol

[@CordeliaWagner1999]

I was just antisocial trend.

[@nobody764-j9n]

Just stumbled upon this. And i have to say you have a really cool look..and style. Love the cats.

The Style Rookie (Tavi). I loved her! 😊

[@Iamlummi]

You need to bring a video about virtual influencers like me, 3D, and the space they are occupying☺️

[@Laurajaneatelier]

I discuss it in this video towards the end

[@victorialambert23]

Jenna Marbles. I miss her 😭
