How much do they get paid?

Since the arrival of snapchat blogs and YouTube content have taken a big hit. Bloggers like Rosie and Pippa had kind of toyed with YouTube for a bit but totally abandoned it the minute snapchat came along. I actually liked Pippa's YouTube videos. I'm sure it's way handier for them to make money through snapchat, 10 second video, no editing, no light fixtures or sound equipment needed.. Just pop your mention up for ten seconds and after 24 hrs it's gone into oblivion. It's crazy really.

And make an absolute fortune in the process money in integrity out

Dont even get me started on bloggers that don't even update their blog! Especially full time ones, it's absolutely crazy!! I saw one and all she did for almost a year was update about her weight loss & gain, it was basically the same post over and over. No decent content at all. But as I said I just unfollow these and opt for a handful of trustworthy ones.

I genuinely don't believe that said blogger got paid to eat there and don't think you should make that assumption. Paid for posts should be declared, as should free product. But it's funny how people didn't for a second think one person got a hotel stay for free but as soon as someone eats at a restaurant it's a paid for placement just because she has a blogger title. I can't even recall he name of the restaurant so clearly she didn't do her job properly, but I won't be forgetting the name of that hotel as it was drilled into me!

Again my point is, it's not just bloggers and eyes need to be opened to the rising of the online influencer. In a years time there will be a similar boards thread slating those no doubt once everyone realises.

Yes it's annoying when they don't update their blogs especially those who do it full time. One girl in question only updates once a month and her updates are always ads, last week it was pampers, month before that the car seat, before that acne treatment, before that image skincare. Not one mention of them being ads though. She has no personal touch to her blog whatsoever, just blatant advertisement that she never actually discloses.

Which is why I don't follow that blog, any blog I follow has declarations & disclaimers, but online influencers can escape that as they've no 'blog' which is why they seem to be falling under the radar here, yet getting just as much if not more product placement & paid endorsements, & the smaller honest bloggers who seem to work hard getting none of the above because bloggers in general are the only ones getting slated

You shouldn't really make assumptions on what we're all thinking. Just because no one mentioned the hotel doesn't mean people thought it wasn't free. But as someone already said if it was for an event as a speaker the assumption is that they would pay.
And it was one person who mentioned the restaurant directly. Not groups of people.
You've said yourself you don't follow what you don't like so why are you following this "online influencer"

Most of your posts are just attacking us as posters suggesting people here are thick. Your opinion on who is genuine and who isn't doesn't make it law. Everyone has levels of who they feel is worth watching and not.

And no one is talking about just bloggers. The word blogger encapsulates more than that and yes people do have they eyes open to that.

Your continuous bashing of Rosemary is very tiring. We get it. You don't like her. None of us are stupid here. Most of us thought the hotel was paid for because of her speaking at UCC and she has confirmed that. Nobody begrudges people freebies. It gets peoples backs up when people are paid to say "Oh look I'm staying in this hotel" which Rosemary was not.

I can tell you now that payment from the restaurant is not an assumption that's fact when invited she has no problem telling them
How much she charges for certain things ect snapchat or a mini review or a post on the blog ect everyone is talking about her and a couple of others that do it constantly

Locking this thread pending mod review. It's starting to turn bitchy (and we were doing so well until a few days ago).
