I love when Sierra does her small business haul every holiday season, but yeah, this video with the extravagant haul of free stuff missed the mark for me.

    Not that you asked but I feel like some content people would like to see would be like “thrifting our Halloween costumes” or like thrifting/gifting on a budget videos. DIY videos, cooking/baking gifts for people. I would lean away from the consumerism stuff as it’s clearly not sitting well with your audience. One if my fav videos you have done in the past few years was the one where you guys thrifted outfits to fit a certain aesthetic.

      @melissaferguson7630 Please consider for a moment that there may be people in the comments who are struggling to make ends meet and a comment like this isn't intended to shame anyone, but rather to highlight the abundance that's shared with influencers while many people are struggling in a difficult economic time. I feel like it's fairly common practice to make donations around the holidays (if someone celebrates) and I'm grateful to be in a position to do that. My comment was only to say that this could be an opportunity to share with those who don't have the same access to these extremely generous events. Sierra has been generous in the past with supporting others in need, so as I said, this was not intended to fault her for not doing that on this occasion. As many others in the comments have noted, this was a seemingly large haul during a time when many others are struggling to meet their basic needs. 🙄

    When those panel experts at the event talked about adding affiliate links to your videos, I think they forgot to mention you should consider the audience. What a major mistake. This channel was trying to position itself as SOMEWHAT eco-considerate and not that consumption-oriented. It's only natural this video is getting bad reviews - you cannot have an aware, mindful audience and then shower them with ads. I'm sure other UA-camrs who are strictly consumerism-focused won't get that kind of feedback on their videos but it's because they cater to a different audience. Did you forget who are you talking to? You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

I know part of your job is influencing but you should use the sway you have over people to promote the things you claim to vaule. Like the environment and small businesses.

      I have questions for the negative comments:
      1) have you never watched a UA-cam video before or celebrity anything? Swag bags are a huge part of any high end event or thank you bags for normal events or now that I’m thinking about it free gift with purchase.
      2) if she wouldn’t have put the links in everyone would screaming at her that she didn’t tell them the price or where to find them. Like y’all don’t have google or something.
      Y’all are screaming about overcompensation (fair) but are you walking that walking or do you have a closet full of clothes& only wear the same pieces ? It’s not ANYONES job but yours to monitor what you spend how you spend or how you mange your personal finances.

    I read through the comments, and perhaps it's because I use an ad blocker, but I didnt see any affiliate links on screen. Or maybe you took them down.

Im not in the demographic of people who are struggling, especially because I don't live in the US, so maybe that's why this didn't bother me at all? Not sure, but I do feel like the comments are a slight overreaction, because you've done these types of videos for years.

And I’ve supported her channel throughout. Today I read so much hate come through, because Sierra attended an influencer event that was not a humiliation for her. It was an event that actually felt like an influencer event should feel! Like beauty con should have felt! It was an even where she was pampered and celebrated and was treated like a queen! All of the things we were upset about that didn’t happen at beauty con for Sierra and Skylar. So now why are we so angry about Sierra being treated like a queen!?
