The way Mikaela gives this pursed lip, gotcha look when she says she wakes up at 6am everyday, like that's not what most people have to do?? That is my daily schedule, and my husband wakes up at 3am to work at 4am. The amount of out of touch is just OOZING from that clip.
It’s infuriating! My fiancé had to work from 8 pm to 8 am yesterday to prep for the week (they are a head chef) and they’re working today from 12 pm until 8 tonight. And I get up at 5:30 every day. Like girl you are not special.
Mikayla’s “try being an influencer for a day” quote rubs me the wrong way not because I think being an influencer wouldn’t be hard and have it’s struggles, like any other job, but compared to most jobs of her income is much higher, and she has much more control over her work/life balance than most people do. It isn’t hard to reflect and think “yeah I’m having a rough day and it’s been hectic lately, but i’m still blessed 😊” And often saying nothing is better than clapping back.. people be much happier when they figure that out 😅
It honestly feels like a slap in the face for those who have to choose between working or getting an education. Some workplaces make one feel dehumanized and usually for a small salary, specially if you live in a developing country, away from the capital city. I’d love to try to be an influencer for a day, that way I’d shut my mouth whenever there’s criticism of my lifestyle and just enjoy all the privilege. Damn
@@potat19 no, it's not. If I choose my path, other ppls choice won't be a slap in my face. It's a slap only if envy or ego is deeply involved. Sorry, but why the f is everybody offended by stuff that literally has nothing to do with them?? Like I woke up to get offended so I can tear into someone and judge them. This is a 22 catch at it's finest
I mean yes, it is quite hard for a lot of people to do that on a rough day? When someone goes through a breakup and says I hate women and I hate men they don’t go on to say but most men are fine I just hate this one man. No, they’re angry and venting because they had a bad experience that day like? Most people will go to extremes and do a woe is me and no one understands me no one has a hard life like I do on a bad day. I think y’all forget influencers are regular schmegular people. Now, what *isn’t* hard on a rough day for the vast majority is to PUT DOWN THE CAMERA. She could’ve just not talked about that, she could’ve done so when she was in a good mood and she could have instead vented to a human being. Yes, influencers are parasocial relationships, but we aren’t in the room with her and she isn’t here with us. Idk it was just inviting drama.
the intro to this made me think “dang is there beauty guru drama I don’t know about??” bc I haven’t watched dustin dailey in a while and i’m realizing now that the “tea channels” i do follow have mostly stopped covering beauty guru stuff. now it’s all about logan paul, the disillusion of the vlog squad, etc etc. haven’t heard jacklyn hill’s name in a loooong time
@@laserkeyboardpro4239 yeah they were closing down the stores and the staff didn't even know. It was right before Christmas and they only got 1-3 days notice
idk why when influencers like mikayla talk about how being an influencer is hard they never seem to talk about the stuff that is actually hard about being an influencer, like having all your flaws be analyzed by thousands if not millions or the pressure that can come from trying to use a large platform responsibly, etc. etc. that stuff seems genuinely difficult to deal with but she just complained about the (very normal) hours she works and it comes off as so tone deaf
@dahliacheung6020 ok and sometimes we have all had ideas or thoughts that came from lack of perception or maturity and once we realized our mistake or grew older we regretted that idea or thought
@@TheJd219424 year olds don’t get to use immaturity as an excuse for being tone death. She just forgot where she come from pretty quick. That’s arragonce and ignorance not immaturity
So I'm a recovering addict. And I REALLY don't like Mikayla and Jaclyn using other people's addictions for their gain. Jaclyn claimed to be an alcoholic when everyone was calling her fat, but now she always posts herself with drinks and drinking. So Jaclyn specifically pisses me off
Jaclyn claimed she was an alcoholic to deflect from her weight gain, and how she was dating her ex’s friend. I used to love Jaclyn, but the last few years she’s really proven what a bad person she is.
She actually said that she had found refuge in drinking when her lipsticks happened and that she was trying to stop but it was so hard for her. She never admitted to being an alcoholic which I think is one of the biggest problems with her in that she doesn’t like to admit fault in anything. Even with her weight gain, she called it “inflammation”. In a way, im glad she never came out as an alcoholic because if she had she probably would’ve made up some crap about how she’s got it under control and her doctor has allowed her to drink socially, etc. which would be SO problematic for recovering addicts. She’s awful!
Umm- if I struggled with addiction yet am in a stage of my life where I am still drinking or using thats none of your business. So if your going to cry about their entitlement treat them like normal people and with normal people you would mind your own business when it comes to strangers no ? For all you know the people dont want random people talking about their addictions so they try to shut it down.
@@Dee-zx9zm but you're never at that stage because there's such a thin line between drinking socially and your addiction because IT IS AN ADDICTION, you can't control it and living in a stage of mind where you think you can control how you consume something that you're addicted to is pretty much the addition
I think it’s sad how the top influencers of the beauty community are who have all the focus in having all this bad publicity that casts a dark shadow on the entire community as a whole, when there are dozens of creators in the beauty community that give if off the feeling that they are more ethical and bring so much more positivity in giving their opinion and just enjoying makeup. I guess my point is that it’s upsetting that the top or the most famous creators and all the scandals, drama, and negativity that comes with them are what the majority of what people think about when it comes to the beauty community, when there are so many more positive and ethical beauty creators than there is bad, and the entire beauty community is taken negatively as a whole when there is much positivity in the community that just gets overshadowed by the negative light of the top well known creators.
@@kayjoc9722i actually think the beauty community is some of the best its ever been. people just have to find the right people. there are so many good and kind beauty content creators, but the entire community has a downcast due to these crazy influencers.
OG influencers that came in my mind are Tila Tequila, Paris Hilton and Jefree. A deep dive on Tila Tequila would be soooo good her careers timeline is insane!!!
Tila still uploads to UA-cam just about every day. I used to watch a lot of her videos back in 2014, because she was getting really weird at that time. It looks like those old videos are gone now, tho 😢
Verily bitchie did a video about bad bi representation on TV and a large portion of the video is about Tila tequila as well and it’s a really valuable perspective on Tila.
I bought a pair of sunglasses from the Jaclyn x QUAY collab. After only a couple of wears, the detail in the lenses started to fall off. I said, okay, maybe quay’s fault. I bought some of her jewelry. The one she said she had worked so hard on and that was not gonna turn green, etc. my earrings turned green and started irritating my ears, and the plating on the necklace started peeling within less than 5 wears. I’ve bought Amazon jewelry for cheaper that has lasted longer. I no longer trust any of her claims/products
Thank you for commenting about student debt and the pretty much life-long uncertainty of income young people are facing, not to mention the fact most graduates aren't going to see anything over 35k right out of college. "Influencers" are so beyond out of touch with reality. I would be crying every day in happiness if I got the opportunity to work on something I love so much and make the amount of money Mikayla does doing the thing she loves. She also has complete freedom in her career, she works that much because she chooses to! She probably doesn't have to work another day in her life. Working overtime on her own projects is not the same as being forced to work overtime at Target.
I once saw a mommy/family influencer talk openly about why she accepted sponsorships on her content when she just posts about her family. She responded in a way I had never considered before, which was "yes, that's the point! my life and my family is essentially the product I am selling. I let you all into the details of my life that would normally be kept private, as well as all the repercussions that come with that! It's not going to be for free!" And regardless of how immoral it is to use your children as content, fundamentally she's right. The influencer essentially is the product, they are selling their lives and personalities to us then complaining when the consequences of their choices happen.
I have a rusted necklace from Jaclyn. They offered to replace it, but I literally wore it for less than 6 hours, and never got it wet, so I figured the replacement necklace would do the same thing. It's just crappy jewelry 🤷♀️
“How did we get here?” Greed. The answer is greed. Paired with society devaluing you if you don’t have money. People want to feel/be important and for some reason that’s attributed with money. Life is fulfilling without it. But I guess some will never bother to know that.
Thank you! I have been comfortable in life and I have struggled. Honestly, I have been happier with less possessions and material things than I ever was when I had everything I wanted. I am not putting my happiness into objects that can break or disappear. I find my peace and happiness in spending time with my husband and our 2 teenage sons and our 3 kitty babies. I would rather chill at home hanging with the family playing board games or watching a movie, etc. Does it suck to sometimes struggle to pay the bills, yes but overall I'm happy.
I have to add something I heard recently from Kackie Reviews Beauty, she was talking about how employers don’t care about you and it’s true. My bf worked at dollar general in 2021, he had a seizure and took time off, and the day he came back, he was fired. In 2020 he had also been fired from Kroger after a death in the family. People could give a fuck less about their employees and I think a lot of people on social media have realized that on their own, through their own experiences, and that’s why a lot of people would rather be their own boss and set their own hours. There’s also people who just want the fame and money from being an influencer or Instagram model but the thing Kackie said was you can give your job everything you have and they can just fire you. That wasn’t word for word, but it just sucks that this is the reality we live in (why are my comments always so long for such a short point I was trying to make 😭 lmao)
I was gonna say that that's where workers' rights come in, but then I remembered that my worker rights in my country are guaranteed solely by the employer's ability to pay the taxes involved in signing my Worker Certificate (Brazilian document. I live in Brazil) and a lot of people in lower classes work in mom-and-pop shops that can't (or don't want to) afford those taxes.
I watch beauty youtube, and I gotta say, it's soo nice that there's not drama, and people bring others with them when they find success, and the people I watch are always cheering on others, and not tearing them down. Some great creators: Kara C, Heather Austin, Samantha March, Robert Welsh, James Welsh, Cassandra Bankson, Paige Koren, Allie Glines, Kelly Gooch, Jen Luvs.
Ah Im so glad to see another friend that I have seen on the channels I subscribe to and watch the most. I have never seen any drama other than companies being shady lol and people calling them out.
The other day, I was watching a guy talking about Reddit stories that I’ve heard of time and time again. His addition to each story was “oh, I don’t know what to make of this, comment below what you think it is…” This content you make is a breath of fresh air because you actually ADD commentary that is sometimes an outlier in the way of thought. People regurgitate the same information over and over and rarely come to different approaches when speaking about the topics. The way you vocalized the conclusion really shows your eloquence and knowledge on the topic without repeating the things I’ve heard over and over in the past few weeks.
The whole "influencing is so hard" thing always bugs me because like, yeah, EVERY job is hard if you want to do well and move up. I'm sure most influencers who have wild number work hard, just like the manager at my local mcdonalds works hard. I don't understand the constant need to be the person who has it the worst while already being successful.
God bless you for going into education! You are an intelligent and thoughtful young woman - we need more people like you teaching our students. I just subscribed to your channel.
I never liked the beauty community. They never felt like genuine people. I couldn't spend $100 on a product and then be scolded by an influancer over its poor quality.
Won’t lie, I’d tune in to watch you describe individual blades of grass, but she’s bringing the good good content and this internet nerd is here for it!! 🎉
Honestly this kind of bs (talking about Mikayla’s tone deaf video about being an influencer) is why I tend to stay away from US beauty influencers. Not only does it come off badly for the ones struggling inside the US but a lot of her followers aren’t even from the same country. Her tiktoks are recommended to LATAM audiences who don’t even interact with American influencers (talking from experience since she has appeared on several of my friends’ FYP), so imagine how it comes across for the rest who have to work OR get an education, who get paid almost nothing in jobs like teaching, compared to the salaries of the US and Canada for fast food workers. It pisses me off so much tbh. And also, maybe I’m thinking with my gut rn since I’m already annoyed by that girl but if she doesn’t want other people to discuss her bf’s life or struggles, why is there a need to broadcast it in the first place? If the dude doesn’t have social media, rarely appears in her videos then it shouldn’t be a problem for her to just, don’t talk about his past addiction? Being so massive on TikTok, she would have know by now that whatever she chooses to display on her videos is going to be the topic of discussion in the comments or over other people’s profiles 🤷♀️
Btw Mika, I love hearing your thoughts about anything. English isn’t my first language so it’s always refreshing to listen to you explain something with eloquence. Glad I found your channel ❤ hope that your current job appreciates your efforts.
You're awesome Mika! I'm not even into the beauty world but I love your videos anyway because you have a ton of perspective and walk people through your critical thinking process. I agree with you 100% on this, capitalism is complicated for sure but these influencers are responsible for their own entitled ideas that are detrimental to them. Humans like to forget they choose what they believe and not all beliefs are harmless, some can straight up cause brain damage to some important brain regions. No one should want to be entitled, unless they're simply begging to be miserable from their own ideas.
The Superbowl probably doesn't have a huge number of viewers outside of the America's. As a Brit, I couldn't even tell you when it was on... We just hear about the half time stuff if something interesting happens, like Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and the costume malfunction.
Was looking for this comment! As an European, I’ve never met anyone that watches the Super Bowl. Def a North American thing, viewers outside of that region are probably not a significant number. I don’t even know who broadcasts it in my country, if it’s even broadcasted.
I think influencers forget that even with 5 - 10 million followers, they are only ‘famous’ to what their relevant for. Perfect example is I’ve been f following Jeffree Star since his MySpace days… I’ve been with my partner a long time. He’s a game UA-camr and has been using the internet since it’s infancy… I literally asked him this year if he knew who Jeffree Star was? He had no idea. Thought he was a footballer 😅
Even in a bad mood it always makes me smirk at least a little and that I turn makes me feel better! You do wonderful work and I really enjoy your style ! ❤
I've become OBSESSED with cow print lately, after a like 5-year-long black and white only era in my aesthetic. Just got myself the tiniest cow print shoulder bag, it literally just fits my phone, my wallet and my keys and. It. Is. Perfect.
It was nice seeing you in Mr. Snowflake's chat last night. As far as beauty influencers go, I only really watch Robert Welsh and he is a make-up artist as opposed to an influencer. The drama in the beauty community seems so cyclical.
absolutely love this video, especially as someone who used to be into the beauty community and then lost interest, it's interesting to see whats happening! One thing that bothered me just a little bit about this video though is how during jump cuts you cut off the ends of your sentences by a couple syllables. I noticed it a lot, and though it didn't take out much context or anything it just took me a second to realize you'd moved on because I didn't hear the end of the sentence. that could totally be a me issue and maybe it doesn't bother anyone else I just figured id let you know in case you weren't aware. x
You popped up in my recommended & I’m glad I checked you out. You made excellent points, especially regarding the commodity of time & influencers almost negating on that sale by demanding privacy. Will definitely subscribe & check out more of your stuff 😊
I was never the biggest fan of Dustin or Nick Snider but when Smokey Glow and Angelika Oles were having their dustup and Nick and Dustin immediately hopped in and started trying to stir the pot and paint Hannah (Smokey) as this backstabbing mean girl - all because they still hold a grudge that Hannah no-showed on a party Nick invited her to, because RichLux was going to be there and Hannah didn't want to go to a party where someone who'd been video'd using the n-slur (and then doubled down on how it wasn't that bad a thing to say) was going to be. That was just the pinnacle of petty nonsense from two allegedly grown men for me.
your point about ppl getting fed up with influencers complaining about what is at the core of their job (aka commodifying their identities & experiences, etc.) w/ the idea of 'opting out of' or being able to 'rise above' capitalism (essentially a have your cake and eat it too moment? if that makes sense) reminds me of the discourse around traditional media celebrities (musicians) essentially complaining about having to do tiktok shit to please production companies or wtever. i know they are different conversations because as you mentioned influencers are commodifying their identity VS musicians commodifying a recognised 'talent' but i just thought of the frustrations ppl expressed w very rich people complaining about having to do a job, being beholden to the whims of an employer etc. (this is like a total mess but just some random thoughts -- new subscriber and love your videos so far
i had no idea mikayla was this problematic omg - i followed her on tiktok bc i thought she had a fun way of doing makeup videos, but since i barely use tiktok (and when i do it's just cat videos and that roll for sandwich guy) i didn't see the entitled mess she's become and it's kind of embarrassing
Oh I can't stand nick, Dustin and rich (petty Paige too). I actually used to watch them back in the day until I realised how toxic they were. You're right about Jeffree Star, it's more than a bias, they're actually friends with him irl. They judge everyone else so harshly though. It's so wild, I rarely watch any beauty stuff anymore. A few years ago it's almost all I watched! I feel so out of touch now, I hadn't even heard of Mikayla!
I still enjoy beauty content but i've realized I consume it in a very different way now. During 2020 i realized I really didnt need a lot of makeup, just products to make an everyday makeup look and a bunch of colorful lipsticks and blushes (my fav profucts). Now, if i want a review, i pretty much just look it up, but i dont obsess overy beauty content creators anymore. Much better if you ask me!
7:16 reminded me of the "Babygirl im in med school" copypasta 😂😂 no hate, I love you, I'm so happy I could see you without any makeup tbh, you're v pretty
Like damn sucks for you I’m 17 I go to school get home at 4 then I go to work at 5-9 and my white coworker at Taco Bell called me the n word bc I remade 2 waters
As someone who is a PhD student enrolled in excess hours (program requires it) AND working as much as the university legally allows (we are assigned jobs) I am pretty disappointed to hear “try being an influencer for a day” in that tone from McKayla.
Dustin and his fiance nick snider don't speak to rich anymore and Dustin does documentaries, rich still does drama and nick is getting back into UA-cam after him and Dustin lost their stuff in a fire and both their mums passed away, hope this helps
dang well that got me subscribed quick! I had vaguely heard about this drama but had no interest in it until I heard your take on it. I think you are absolutely spot on with the whole "influencers sell themselves, hence people being upset when they are denied access" thing, in addition to that, I would say that it had hastened The Death of Celebrity, because like. Why do we care about Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt or some... nepo kid when the most we can find out about them are bits and pieces from the tabloid gossip press? There's an entire ecosystem of parasocial relations we could have instead! man that was good stuff
in addition to that, "influencers sell themselves" is why "breadtube" is such a wreck, constantly. like first off, you can't _sell_ socialism, that's pretty contradictory. but you _especially_ can't sell it when you're too busy selling yourself to even bother!
I think that it is interesting that beauty influencers often claim that they come from lower socioeconomic statuses and that they have worked hard to get to where they are.... but then they come out with videos that are tone-deaf and don't acknowledge that they are privileged and forget where they may have come from (if it applies to them). Money does change who you are and I think that they forget that people from lower socioeconomic statuses help them pay their bills because much of their content is free and individuals enjoy free content because it is accessible. Mikayla making that video regardless of the time frame it was made in was extremely tone-deaf and just outright ignorant. If they feel that their job is difficult, they have the luxury of leaving it whereas others from marginalized groups do not get the choice and often can't even work a typical 9-5 like they may want to or have to work several jobs to even make a living. Beauty influencers are some of the worst creators in my opinion because they promote classism, over-consumption, and rely on capitalism. I think you did a great job of presenting the information throughout the video and brought up good points throughout.
The cow print 🥹🥹🥹🥹 you’re so adorable!!! Also, what products do you use for your hair? It looks so healthy and I want some new product recommendations for my curls. Love you lots guuurl🩵
I hope she does more of these while doing her makeup 👏🏻 I love her content! I save it for when I'm doing my hair or makeup lol. And her base is always so good I love the attention to detail👍
When I started hearing about the viewership of Keeping up with the Kardashians... them doing all this for like 1 mil views and I'm like... all these UA-camrs are doing this on the daily... so wild how things change.
My week: Waking up at 4:30 not home until 19:00 4 days a week, nursing internship. Barely paid. Waking up at 6:00 home at around 17:00 2 days a week, normal job. Waking up at 6:00 home around 16:00 1 day a week, school. Also a lot of homework that needs to be done when I’m at home. How hard is your job as a beauty influencer?
Ive seen the Mikayla video and its always been annoying but the video is playing as I am working on an assignment for my class on judicial review as im working on my master's in criminal justice after a long shift of people being mad they had to wait to speak with me (I work 9-7) and then single mom duties..I made mini pizzas on my lunch break for my kid and cleaned my kitchen..(I work from home). I'm so tired this assignment is taking way longer than normal and I cant stop yawning..I just want to go to bed..it pissed me off a bit more than normal. I get that this is an old video but i rewatch videos to get through homework. It helps keep me awake. I have fallen asleep mid writting something for class..also its currently 1:35am as Im on my last section of my paper and I have to be up at 6:30 to get my son on the bus..I get that mentally tiring doong her job but girl..Ill switch with you if you'd like..Ill do your meetings.. you write my paper??
I'm an EMT in a large city. I work from 7 am to 7 pm 3 days a week, I get up at 5 am to get to work and then I am awake and working whether it's patient care, writing reports, or driving to the scene until 7 pm, so it's not a 12 hour work day like she described where I'm at home and can take breaks to eat and go to the bathroom. I am out in whatever weather we have dealing with whatever happened, a lot of which is interacting with people who are having the worst day of their whole lives. Only time to eat food from the gas station while driving to the next call. I work 24s sometimes where I am awake for the entire shift, not sleeping for 24 straight hours. And I still have to do several hours of homework to do per week & have to attend class. All jobs are hard in their own ways, but I saw a 19 year old kid so banged up from a car accident he didn't even look human. This was an unnecessary paragraph but Jesus to say that being an influencer is "hard" is so infuriating to people who have actual jobs. I by no means have the most difficult job in the world, but she doesn't have a difficult job period
getting off at 5:00pm is a luxury when you want to move up in the corporate world,, or honestly all traditional jobs. LIKE STOP THROWING A PITY PARTY LADY
I always love to hear your takes! I absolutely love how you always bring it back to a larger, essay-like structure. I feel like it helps me actually go through all of the facets of the topic much more thouroughly.
I never liked her that much, but then she posted the try being an influencer video and I disliked her after that. I am 15 years old and I work, I go to work right after school and leave at 7 -9 pm. I don’t have it that hard at all, but I can’t imagine acting like she did.
"Try being an influencer for a day" Yea, that deff rubs me the wrong way. You spend 4 -5 hours filming and editing videos. . . . okay but its videos of you putting on makeup and reviewing products you either purchased or received for free. And while I agree, editing is definitely tedious, the overall process of filming and editing a video that you chose to make isn't as stressful as working a customer service job and dealing with the general public. Being an "influencer" isn't nearly as stressful as working in the medical field or working in education. As far as I can see, as long as you steer clear of the drama and avoid scandal, you can make those videos to your heart's content. If she was churning out videos every day, I'd understand it but you're literally doing maybe 20 hours of work a week and getting paid more than some full time hourly employees. Ma'am, try being a first grade teacher for a day, try being a triage nurse for a day, try working in HR for a day, try being a software developer for a day. . . you'll be running back to your influencer job crying.
In Mikayla’s response video to rich lux, she told the internet that Cody’s ex met him in rehab and was also a recovering drug addict. That is where I have a problem. Neither Rich Lux nor Cody’s ex had mentioned that. It was MIKAYLA who aired out that Cody’s ex’s history of drug abuse. Which is a violation of privacy. What if Cody’s ex didn’t want to internet to know about her history with drug abuse? And even if she did want the internet to know, it should’ve been her story to tell, not Mikayla’s. It’s funny how Mikayla doesn’t want others talking about Cody’s history with drugs, but she freely airs out his ex’s history with drugs without her permission.

For real, i work til 2:30am for one work and then go to another at 9am 4 days a week
I'm unemployed and wake up at 6am 😭
Everytime that clip shows up I want to scream! Like why do ungrateful people always get a big platform and not the people who DESERVE IT! 🥴
Mikayla’s “try being an influencer for a day” quote rubs me the wrong way not because I think being an influencer wouldn’t be hard and have it’s struggles, like any other job, but compared to most jobs of her income is much higher, and she has much more control over her work/life balance than most people do.

I’d love to try to be an influencer for a day, that way I’d shut my mouth whenever there’s criticism of my lifestyle and just enjoy all the privilege. Damn
Queen Elizabeth always said : saying nothing is the hardest thing to do. Do not react.
@@potat19 no, it's not. If I choose my path, other ppls choice won't be a slap in my face. It's a slap only if envy or ego is deeply involved. Sorry, but why the f is everybody offended by stuff that literally has nothing to do with them?? Like I woke up to get offended so I can tear into someone and judge them. This is a 22 catch at it's finest
I mean yes, it is quite hard for a lot of people to do that on a rough day? When someone goes through a breakup and says I hate women and I hate men they don’t go on to say but most men are fine I just hate this one man. No, they’re angry and venting because they had a bad experience that day like?
Most people will go to extremes and do a woe is me and no one understands me no one has a hard life like I do on a bad day. I think y’all forget influencers are regular schmegular people.
Now, what *isn’t* hard on a rough day for the vast majority is to PUT DOWN THE CAMERA. She could’ve just not talked about that, she could’ve done so when she was in a good mood and she could have instead vented to a human being. Yes, influencers are parasocial relationships, but we aren’t in the room with her and she isn’t here with us. Idk it was just inviting drama.
the intro to this made me think “dang is there beauty guru drama I don’t know about??” bc I haven’t watched dustin dailey in a while and i’m realizing now that the “tea channels” i do follow have mostly stopped covering beauty guru stuff. now it’s all about logan paul, the disillusion of the vlog squad, etc etc. haven’t heard jacklyn hill’s name in a loooong time
Well you’re about to hear the name Jaclyn hill a lot in this video
Morphed owns people millions of dollars (Jeffrey star, James Charles, jacq hill) and morphe closed is what I heard
@@laserkeyboardpro4239 yeah they were closing down the stores and the staff didn't even know. It was right before Christmas and they only got 1-3 days notice
Jaclyn and Dustin are actually going at it currently, or at least last week 😂
You must not watch Rich Lux lol
idk why when influencers like mikayla talk about how being an influencer is hard they never seem to talk about the stuff that is actually hard about being an influencer, like having all your flaws be analyzed by thousands if not millions or the pressure that can come from trying to use a large platform responsibly, etc. etc. that stuff seems genuinely difficult to deal with but she just complained about the (very normal) hours she works and it comes off as so tone deaf
she actually has talked about it a lot!!
Does Mikayla know that she’s doesn’t have to keep being an influencer? If it’s “just so hard” she could literally stop and apply for normal jobs today
She's apologized twice for he video
🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯👏👏👏 "Stop It Get Some Help"
Apologies aside... 🙄it was very clear that's exactly how she felt so...
@dahliacheung6020 ok and sometimes we have all had ideas or thoughts that came from lack of perception or maturity and once we realized our mistake or grew older we regretted that idea or thought
@@TheJd219424 year olds don’t get to use immaturity as an excuse for being tone death.
She just forgot where she come from pretty quick. That’s arragonce and ignorance not immaturity
So I'm a recovering addict. And I REALLY don't like Mikayla and Jaclyn using other people's addictions for their gain.
Jaclyn claimed to be an alcoholic when everyone was calling her fat, but now she always posts herself with drinks and drinking. So Jaclyn specifically pisses me off
Seriously?!?!? That's awful!!
Jaclyn claimed she was an alcoholic to deflect from her weight gain, and how she was dating her ex’s friend. I used to love Jaclyn, but the last few years she’s really proven what a bad person she is.
She actually said that she had found refuge in drinking when her lipsticks happened and that she was trying to stop but it was so hard for her. She never admitted to being an alcoholic which I think is one of the biggest problems with her in that she doesn’t like to admit fault in anything. Even with her weight gain, she called it “inflammation”. In a way, im glad she never came out as an alcoholic because if she had she probably would’ve made up some crap about how she’s got it under control and her doctor has allowed her to drink socially, etc. which would be SO problematic for recovering addicts. She’s awful!
Umm- if I struggled with addiction yet am in a stage of my life where I am still drinking or using thats none of your business. So if your going to cry about their entitlement treat them like normal people and with normal people you would mind your own business when it comes to strangers no ? For all you know the people dont want random people talking about their addictions so they try to shut it down.
@@Dee-zx9zm but you're never at that stage because there's such a thin line between drinking socially and your addiction because IT IS AN ADDICTION, you can't control it and living in a stage of mind where you think you can control how you consume something that you're addicted to is pretty much the addition
The beauty influencer ecosystem fascinates and horrifies me
I could not agree more
Egosystem 😆
@@MsTinkerbelle87 very apt
in time, beauty influencers just became MLM reps. UA-cam is the new Tupperware. You come to be entertained AND pitched a product.
Oh my god what an interesting analogy
@@MikasRhetoric how many influencers go down the MLM pipeline? a LOT. I'm probably looking too deep into it tho
It’s kinda sad to see how downhill the beauty community has gone
I think it’s sad too
I think it’s sad how the top influencers of the beauty community are who have all the focus in having all this bad publicity that casts a dark shadow on the entire community as a whole, when there are dozens of creators in the beauty community that give if off the feeling that they are more ethical and bring so much more positivity in giving their opinion and just enjoying makeup.
I guess my point is that it’s upsetting that the top or the most famous creators and all the scandals, drama, and negativity that comes with them are what the majority of what people think about when it comes to the beauty community, when there are so many more positive and ethical beauty creators than there is bad, and the entire beauty community is taken negatively as a whole when there is much positivity in the community that just gets overshadowed by the negative light of the top well known creators.
@@kayjoc9722i actually think the beauty community is some of the best its ever been. people just have to find the right people. there are so many good and kind beauty content creators, but the entire community has a downcast due to these crazy influencers.
@@maddie9655 I totally agree with you. I have found some of the nicest and most authentic creators in the beauty space
To be fair it's been a hellscape since 2017 at minimum
I remember it well
OG influencers that came in my mind are Tila Tequila, Paris Hilton and Jefree. A deep dive on Tila Tequila would be soooo good her careers timeline is insane!!!
I think the channel Deep Dive did a video on her
@@emilychick so did mila tequila! her vid was so good
Those are good examples
Tila still uploads to UA-cam just about every day. I used to watch a lot of her videos back in 2014, because she was getting really weird at that time. It looks like those old videos are gone now, tho 😢
Verily bitchie did a video about bad bi representation on TV and a large portion of the video is about Tila tequila as well and it’s a really valuable perspective on Tila.
I bought a pair of sunglasses from the Jaclyn x QUAY collab. After only a couple of wears, the detail in the lenses started to fall off. I said, okay, maybe quay’s fault. I bought some of her jewelry. The one she said she had worked so hard on and that was not gonna turn green, etc. my earrings turned green and started irritating my ears, and the plating on the necklace started peeling within less than 5 wears. I’ve bought Amazon jewelry for cheaper that has lasted longer. I no longer trust any of her claims/products
i’m so tired of people saying that criticism is coming from “jealousy”. like no you’re just acting weird 😭
oh and you’re stunning btw 🫶🏻
Thank you!! And I agree
Yes, not every thing is based on jealousy.
Thank you for commenting about student debt and the pretty much life-long uncertainty of income young people are facing, not to mention the fact most graduates aren't going to see anything over 35k right out of college. "Influencers" are so beyond out of touch with reality. I would be crying every day in happiness if I got the opportunity to work on something I love so much and make the amount of money Mikayla does doing the thing she loves. She also has complete freedom in her career, she works that much because she chooses to! She probably doesn't have to work another day in her life. Working overtime on her own projects is not the same as being forced to work overtime at Target.
I once saw a mommy/family influencer talk openly about why she accepted sponsorships on her content when she just posts about her family. She responded in a way I had never considered before, which was "yes, that's the point! my life and my family is essentially the product I am selling. I let you all into the details of my life that would normally be kept private, as well as all the repercussions that come with that! It's not going to be for free!" And regardless of how immoral it is to use your children as content, fundamentally she's right. The influencer essentially is the product, they are selling their lives and personalities to us then complaining when the consequences of their choices happen.
I have a rusted necklace from Jaclyn. They offered to replace it, but I literally wore it for less than 6 hours, and never got it wet, so I figured the replacement necklace would do the same thing. It's just crappy jewelry 🤷♀️
OMG NOOOO
“How did we get here?”
Greed. The answer is greed. Paired with society devaluing you if you don’t have money. People want to feel/be important and for some reason that’s attributed with money. Life is fulfilling without it. But I guess some will never bother to know that.
Thank you! I have been comfortable in life and I have struggled. Honestly, I have been happier with less possessions and material things than I ever was when I had everything I wanted. I am not putting my happiness into objects that can break or disappear. I find my peace and happiness in spending time with my husband and our 2 teenage sons and our 3 kitty babies. I would rather chill at home hanging with the family playing board games or watching a movie, etc. Does it suck to sometimes struggle to pay the bills, yes but overall I'm happy.
I have to add something I heard recently from Kackie Reviews Beauty, she was talking about how employers don’t care about you and it’s true. My bf worked at dollar general in 2021, he had a seizure and took time off, and the day he came back, he was fired. In 2020 he had also been fired from Kroger after a death in the family. People could give a fuck less about their employees and I think a lot of people on social media have realized that on their own, through their own experiences, and that’s why a lot of people would rather be their own boss and set their own hours. There’s also people who just want the fame and money from being an influencer or Instagram model but the thing Kackie said was you can give your job everything you have and they can just fire you. That wasn’t word for word, but it just sucks that this is the reality we live in (why are my comments always so long for such a short point I was trying to make 😭 lmao)
I was gonna say that that's where workers' rights come in, but then I remembered that my worker rights in my country are guaranteed solely by the employer's ability to pay the taxes involved in signing my Worker Certificate (Brazilian document. I live in Brazil) and a lot of people in lower classes work in mom-and-pop shops that can't (or don't want to) afford those taxes.
That sort of point I also mentioned when talking to the PhD student, like it’s a lose lose situation
It’s sad that a lot of jobs don’t offer leave , bereavement etc. for their employees ):
I love that Kackie often mentions different perspectives. That's why I subscribed:)
I watch beauty youtube, and I gotta say, it's soo nice that there's not drama, and people bring others with them when they find success, and the people I watch are always cheering on others, and not tearing them down.
Some great creators: Kara C, Heather Austin, Samantha March, Robert Welsh, James Welsh, Cassandra Bankson, Paige Koren, Allie Glines, Kelly Gooch, Jen Luvs.
The community just seems less exciting because ppl stopped paying attention to the dramatic people
@MikasRhetoric yeah, the huge creators all fell off, and now the beauty community is much smaller influencers, and the vibe is just SO different.
The only big beauty UA-camr I still watch is nikkietutorials
@jam6079 yeah she's still great, I love nikkie❤️
Ah Im so glad to see another friend that I have seen on the channels I subscribe to and watch the most. I have never seen any drama other than companies being shady lol and people calling them out.
this is why I love the Welsh twins cause they're just weird giggly nerds who are also fairly sensible 😂
The other day, I was watching a guy talking about Reddit stories that I’ve heard of time and time again. His addition to each story was “oh, I don’t know what to make of this, comment below what you think it is…”
This content you make is a breath of fresh air because you actually ADD commentary that is sometimes an outlier in the way of thought. People regurgitate the same information over and over and rarely come to different approaches when speaking about the topics.
The way you vocalized the conclusion really shows your eloquence and knowledge on the topic without repeating the things I’ve heard over and over in the past few weeks.
Thank you, I really try to make a difference with the topics I bring forward because I do not see a point on repeating all of the same stuff
The whole "influencing is so hard" thing always bugs me because like, yeah, EVERY job is hard if you want to do well and move up. I'm sure most influencers who have wild number work hard, just like the manager at my local mcdonalds works hard. I don't understand the constant need to be the person who has it the worst while already being successful.
God bless you for going into education! You are an intelligent and thoughtful young woman - we need more people like you teaching our students. I just subscribed to your channel.
This is such a kind thing for you to write and it truly means a lot
GIRL!!! it’s so nice to see you outside of Gorl World ❤
I never liked the beauty community. They never felt like genuine people. I couldn't spend $100 on a product and then be scolded by an influancer over its poor quality.
Makeup is so subjective too like I’ve loved products that influencers dog on
Won’t lie, I’d tune in to watch you describe individual blades of grass, but she’s bringing the good good content and this internet nerd is here for it!! 🎉
You’re so kind thank you
Honestly this kind of bs (talking about Mikayla’s tone deaf video about being an influencer) is why I tend to stay away from US beauty influencers. Not only does it come off badly for the ones struggling inside the US but a lot of her followers aren’t even from the same country. Her tiktoks are recommended to LATAM audiences who don’t even interact with American influencers (talking from experience since she has appeared on several of my friends’ FYP), so imagine how it comes across for the rest who have to work OR get an education, who get paid almost nothing in jobs like teaching, compared to the salaries of the US and Canada for fast food workers. It pisses me off so much tbh.
And also, maybe I’m thinking with my gut rn since I’m already annoyed by that girl but if she doesn’t want other people to discuss her bf’s life or struggles, why is there a need to broadcast it in the first place? If the dude doesn’t have social media, rarely appears in her videos then it shouldn’t be a problem for her to just, don’t talk about his past addiction? Being so massive on TikTok, she would have know by now that whatever she chooses to display on her videos is going to be the topic of discussion in the comments or over other people’s profiles 🤷♀️
Btw Mika, I love hearing your thoughts about anything. English isn’t my first language so it’s always refreshing to listen to you explain something with eloquence. Glad I found your channel ❤ hope that your current job appreciates your efforts.
I like Soph and is the only one I watch since like 2020
You're awesome Mika! I'm not even into the beauty world but I love your videos anyway because you have a ton of perspective and walk people through your critical thinking process. I agree with you 100% on this, capitalism is complicated for sure but these influencers are responsible for their own entitled ideas that are detrimental to them. Humans like to forget they choose what they believe and not all beliefs are harmless, some can straight up cause brain damage to some important brain regions. No one should want to be entitled, unless they're simply begging to be miserable from their own ideas.
Thank you so much!!
The Superbowl probably doesn't have a huge number of viewers outside of the America's. As a Brit, I couldn't even tell you when it was on... We just hear about the half time stuff if something interesting happens, like Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and the costume malfunction.
Was looking for this comment! As an European, I’ve never met anyone that watches the Super Bowl. Def a North American thing, viewers outside of that region are probably not a significant number. I don’t even know who broadcasts it in my country, if it’s even broadcasted.
I think influencers forget that even with 5 - 10 million followers, they are only ‘famous’ to what their relevant for. Perfect example is I’ve been f following Jeffree Star since his MySpace days… I’ve been with my partner a long time. He’s a game UA-camr and has been using the internet since it’s infancy… I literally asked him this year if he knew who Jeffree Star was? He had no idea. Thought he was a footballer 😅
That is such a good point too
Something about the squish gang intro just makes me smile every time.
I’m really touched that y’all like it so much!
Even in a bad mood it always makes me smirk at least a little and that I turn makes me feel better! You do wonderful work and I really enjoy your style ! ❤
I've become OBSESSED with cow print lately, after a like 5-year-long black and white only era in my aesthetic. Just got myself the tiniest cow print shoulder bag, it literally just fits my phone, my wallet and my keys and. It. Is. Perfect.
RIGHT I LOVE IT
It was nice seeing you in Mr. Snowflake's chat last night. As far as beauty influencers go, I only really watch Robert Welsh and he is a make-up artist as opposed to an influencer. The drama in the beauty community seems so cyclical.
Yes I’ve seen videos from the Welsh twins
So excited about this! I'm watching this after my shift!! I absolutely love your content.
Thank you so much I hope you like it!!
@Mika’s Rhetoric i decided to watch it early ahaha. It's great so far!! The GRWM is such a great idea. Hi from Ontario!
absolutely love this video, especially as someone who used to be into the beauty community and then lost interest, it's interesting to see whats happening!
One thing that bothered me just a little bit about this video though is how during jump cuts you cut off the ends of your sentences by a couple syllables. I noticed it a lot, and though it didn't take out much context or anything it just took me a second to realize you'd moved on because I didn't hear the end of the sentence. that could totally be a me issue and maybe it doesn't bother anyone else I just figured id let you know in case you weren't aware. x
Yes sorry that’s because I’m not used to doing my makeup on camera and kept tapping the mic with a brush or something
You popped up in my recommended & I’m glad I checked you out. You made excellent points, especially regarding the commodity of time & influencers almost negating on that sale by demanding privacy. Will definitely subscribe & check out more of your stuff 😊
Amazing! Thank you
I was never the biggest fan of Dustin or Nick Snider but when Smokey Glow and Angelika Oles were having their dustup and Nick and Dustin immediately hopped in and started trying to stir the pot and paint Hannah (Smokey) as this backstabbing mean girl - all because they still hold a grudge that Hannah no-showed on a party Nick invited her to, because RichLux was going to be there and Hannah didn't want to go to a party where someone who'd been video'd using the n-slur (and then doubled down on how it wasn't that bad a thing to say) was going to be. That was just the pinnacle of petty nonsense from two allegedly grown men for me.
Your thoroughness on every topic u discuss always leaves me in awe! You truly go in informed! You’ll be at 100k in no time!
Thank you, that would be so amazing!!
Tea channels like rich, nick and Dustin are the only people who make me feel bad for beauty gurus
analysis at the end 🔥🔥🔥 those are the discussions I wanna hear in academic spaces
I was really happy to have this conversation with you all
I loved hearing your perspective on all of this. Great video ❤
your point about ppl getting fed up with influencers complaining about what is at the core of their job (aka commodifying their identities & experiences, etc.) w/ the idea of 'opting out of' or being able to 'rise above' capitalism (essentially a have your cake and eat it too moment? if that makes sense) reminds me of the discourse around traditional media celebrities (musicians) essentially complaining about having to do tiktok shit to please production companies or wtever. i know they are different conversations because as you mentioned influencers are commodifying their identity VS musicians commodifying a recognised 'talent' but i just thought of the frustrations ppl expressed w very rich people complaining about having to do a job, being beholden to the whims of an employer etc. (this is like a total mess but just some random thoughts -- new subscriber and love your videos so far
Mika! You’re gorgeous and thank you for showing the natural skin! I loved it 😊 you have great content!
You’re so kind thank you
you're literally gonna be a wonderful educator thank you for your informative and fascinating videos💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Your videos have improved a ton since I started watching about a year ago. Not that they needed improvement. 😊
i had no idea mikayla was this problematic omg - i followed her on tiktok bc i thought she had a fun way of doing makeup videos, but since i barely use tiktok (and when i do it's just cat videos and that roll for sandwich guy) i didn't see the entitled mess she's become and it's kind of embarrassing
I LOVE ROLL FOR SANDWICH
your videos get me through my AP Lang homework :')

i think the tom brady comment is so funny with the knowledge that his team lost last night
Gonna finish the video in the morning because it's past my bedtime but your hair looks so cute with the waves!
Your Charlotte tilbury Mikaela impression was spot on 😂
Thank you I try to be funny sometimes
@@MikasRhetoric you succeeded 🫶
Oh I can't stand nick, Dustin and rich (petty Paige too). I actually used to watch them back in the day until I realised how toxic they were. You're right about Jeffree Star, it's more than a bias, they're actually friends with him irl. They judge everyone else so harshly though.
It's so wild, I rarely watch any beauty stuff anymore. A few years ago it's almost all I watched! I feel so out of touch now, I hadn't even heard of Mikayla!
So glad I caught this video early, gonna put it on while I clean clean apartment before college tomorrow
Good luck!!
am i the only one that thought mikayla was in her late 30s
No it seems like a lot of others were also shocked by how young she was
@@MikasRhetoric my jaw literally dropped when you said her age lol
I still enjoy beauty content but i've realized I consume it in a very different way now. During 2020 i realized I really didnt need a lot of makeup, just products to make an everyday makeup look and a bunch of colorful lipsticks and blushes (my fav profucts). Now, if i want a review, i pretty much just look it up, but i dont obsess overy beauty content creators anymore. Much better if you ask me!
I feel this way too, I also love project pans now
@@MikasRhetoric oh project pans are great!
Lol, I thought you a part of the "entitled influencers" in the beginning compilation. I was like, "...What... what's wrong with Squishmallows?"
I love my squishmallow besties is never say that about them
Just in time for a mama coffee break! Love it ❤️
Yay!! A fun little escape into some drama
7:16 reminded me of the "Babygirl im in med school" copypasta 😂😂 no hate, I love you, I'm so happy I could see you without any makeup tbh, you're v pretty
Lmaooo I’ve talked about YDHB before
you and wendigoon have similar vibes. ty for the great content
Can’t watch right now but had to come drop my like 🫡
Thank you
Like damn sucks for you I’m 17 I go to school get home at 4 then I go to work at 5-9 and my white coworker at Taco Bell called me the n word bc I remade 2 waters
As someone who is a PhD student enrolled in excess hours (program requires it) AND working as much as the university legally allows (we are assigned jobs) I am pretty disappointed to hear “try being an influencer for a day” in that tone from McKayla.
I feel this
Dustin and his fiance nick snider don't speak to rich anymore and Dustin does documentaries, rich still does drama and nick is getting back into UA-cam after him and Dustin lost their stuff in a fire and both their mums passed away, hope this helps
22:36 the Super Bowl outside of the US isn’t really a thing so it makes sense they’d only quote the number of American viewers
OK yeah that makes sense

It’s WILD
dang well that got me subscribed quick! I had vaguely heard about this drama but had no interest in it until I heard your take on it. I think you are absolutely spot on with the whole "influencers sell themselves, hence people being upset when they are denied access" thing, in addition to that, I would say that it had hastened The Death of Celebrity, because like. Why do we care about Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt or some... nepo kid when the most we can find out about them are bits and pieces from the tabloid gossip press? There's an entire ecosystem of parasocial relations we could have instead!
man that was good stuff
in addition to that, "influencers sell themselves" is why "breadtube" is such a wreck, constantly. like first off, you can't _sell_ socialism, that's pretty contradictory. but you _especially_ can't sell it when you're too busy selling yourself to even bother!
I think that it is interesting that beauty influencers often claim that they come from lower socioeconomic statuses and that they have worked hard to get to where they are.... but then they come out with videos that are tone-deaf and don't acknowledge that they are privileged and forget where they may have come from (if it applies to them). Money does change who you are and I think that they forget that people from lower socioeconomic statuses help them pay their bills because much of their content is free and individuals enjoy free content because it is accessible. Mikayla making that video regardless of the time frame it was made in was extremely tone-deaf and just outright ignorant. If they feel that their job is difficult, they have the luxury of leaving it whereas others from marginalized groups do not get the choice and often can't even work a typical 9-5 like they may want to or have to work several jobs to even make a living. Beauty influencers are some of the worst creators in my opinion because they promote classism, over-consumption, and rely on capitalism. I think you did a great job of presenting the information throughout the video and brought up good points throughout.
The cow print 🥹🥹🥹🥹 you’re so adorable!!! Also, what products do you use for your hair? It looks so healthy and I want some new product recommendations for my curls. Love you lots guuurl🩵
I hope she does more of these while doing her makeup 👏🏻 I love her content! I save it for when I'm doing my hair or makeup lol. And her base is always so good I love the attention to detail👍
Thank you!!!
@@MikasRhetoric Thank you too! ☺️🫶🏻
When I started hearing about the viewership of Keeping up with the Kardashians... them doing all this for like 1 mil views and I'm like... all these UA-camrs are doing this on the daily... so wild how things change.
Exactly and people don’t realize that

Waking up at 7am and working til 5pm is pretty much just a full time job?
Yes and she makes like a yearly Sakarya per month
Milayla is 24 holy cow I thought she was around 36!
Me too !
My week:
Waking up at 4:30 not home until 19:00 4 days a week, nursing internship. Barely paid.
Waking up at 6:00 home at around 17:00 2 days a week, normal job.
Waking up at 6:00 home around 16:00 1 day a week, school. Also a lot of homework that needs to be done when I’m at home.
How hard is your job as a beauty influencer?
Ive seen the Mikayla video and its always been annoying but the video is playing as I am working on an assignment for my class on judicial review as im working on my master's in criminal justice after a long shift of people being mad they had to wait to speak with me (I work 9-7) and then single mom duties..I made mini pizzas on my lunch break for my kid and cleaned my kitchen..(I work from home). I'm so tired this assignment is taking way longer than normal and I cant stop yawning..I just want to go to bed..it pissed me off a bit more than normal. I get that this is an old video but i rewatch videos to get through homework. It helps keep me awake. I have fallen asleep mid writting something for class..also its currently 1:35am as Im on my last section of my paper and I have to be up at 6:30 to get my son on the bus..I get that mentally tiring doong her job but girl..Ill switch with you if you'd like..Ill do your meetings.. you write my paper??
I’d like to see these influencers work retail for a week for $10 an hour. Then they can talk to me about how hard their job is.
Yay! New video. I only watch you and SLOAN on here. Y'all are the best.
I'm an EMT in a large city. I work from 7 am to 7 pm 3 days a week, I get up at 5 am to get to work and then I am awake and working whether it's patient care, writing reports, or driving to the scene until 7 pm, so it's not a 12 hour work day like she described where I'm at home and can take breaks to eat and go to the bathroom. I am out in whatever weather we have dealing with whatever happened, a lot of which is interacting with people who are having the worst day of their whole lives. Only time to eat food from the gas station while driving to the next call. I work 24s sometimes where I am awake for the entire shift, not sleeping for 24 straight hours. And I still have to do several hours of homework to do per week & have to attend class.
All jobs are hard in their own ways, but I saw a 19 year old kid so banged up from a car accident he didn't even look human.
This was an unnecessary paragraph but Jesus to say that being an influencer is "hard" is so infuriating to people who have actual jobs. I by no means have the most difficult job in the world, but she doesn't have a difficult job period
"We live in a world dominated by capitalism" *ad break*
LMAOOO I have the ads placed randomly but I like the way it worked out
getting off at 5:00pm is a luxury when you want to move up in the corporate world,, or honestly all traditional jobs. LIKE STOP THROWING A PITY PARTY LADY
these influencers use and drop people from their lives like children with dolls.
I always love to hear your takes! I absolutely love how you always bring it back to a larger, essay-like structure. I feel like it helps me actually go through all of the facets of the topic much more thouroughly.
i love this kind of content i do my makeup with you
I never liked her that much, but then she posted the try being an influencer video and I disliked her after that. I am 15 years old and I work, I go to work right after school and leave at 7 -9 pm. I don’t have it that hard at all, but I can’t imagine acting like she did.
"Oh someone's mad at Rich Lux?" Me: "It's chewsday innit"
Mika heads up here - account to block
10 MINUTES AFTER YOU POSTED LETS GO😀😀
YEEEEAAAAHHH
"Try being an influencer for a day" Yea, that deff rubs me the wrong way. You spend 4 -5 hours filming and editing videos. . . . okay but its videos of you putting on makeup and reviewing products you either purchased or received for free. And while I agree, editing is definitely tedious, the overall process of filming and editing a video that you chose to make isn't as stressful as working a customer service job and dealing with the general public. Being an "influencer" isn't nearly as stressful as working in the medical field or working in education. As far as I can see, as long as you steer clear of the drama and avoid scandal, you can make those videos to your heart's content. If she was churning out videos every day, I'd understand it but you're literally doing maybe 20 hours of work a week and getting paid more than some full time hourly employees. Ma'am, try being a first grade teacher for a day, try being a triage nurse for a day, try working in HR for a day, try being a software developer for a day. . . you'll be running back to your influencer job crying.
Can't wait to finish work and watch this ☺️ intro is amazing!!
Thanks Jimmy!
Love the relaxed chit chat vibes of this video
36 minutes in, the video finally really started and finally got to the gut of video...
That nikocado tiktok at the end always fuckingtakes me out

Very insightful!
time to have my lunch and watch this video 🤭
I keep seeing Mikayla's shorts and wondering why her comments are off lol

I can’t tell if Mikayla’s accent is Boston or Australian sometimes 😂😭
you have an awesome smile !

I love Nikkie she is still thriving
Yes there are still some great creators out there and we should celebrate them
u dont seem jealous just real dw!!!!
Omg I’ll get ready with you too!
That is so cute
In Mikayla’s response video to rich lux, she told the internet that Cody’s ex met him in rehab and was also a recovering drug addict. That is where I have a problem. Neither Rich Lux nor Cody’s ex had mentioned that. It was MIKAYLA who aired out that Cody’s ex’s history of drug abuse. Which is a violation of privacy. What if Cody’s ex didn’t want to internet to know about her history with drug abuse? And even if she did want the internet to know, it should’ve been her story to tell, not Mikayla’s.
It’s funny how Mikayla doesn’t want others talking about Cody’s history with drugs, but she freely airs out his ex’s history with drugs without her permission.
